About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to the jewel of La Canova in the serene valley of Velarde—this stunning duplex is truly one-of-a-kind. Situated on 2.168 acres of irrigated land with legal water rights, this remarkable property offers an unparalleled blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. This expansive 2939 sq ft adobe, strawbale, frame, passive solar duplex features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The floors are a mix of stained concrete, tile, and carpet, adding warmth and character to every room. With an open space floor plan, the possibilities are endless—perfect for a large studio, rental, short-term rental, guest house, and more. The property boasts an array of unique amenities: - A large storage or workshop made of straw bale, ensuring it doesn't freeze in the winter, complete with an attached

carport and shade carports on the other side.
- A 2000 sq ft hoop house with water, ideal for year-round gardening.
- A charming 3-story tree house with a 200 sq ft deck, offering a whimsical escape.
High-efficiency woodstoves and solar gain, supplemented by an off-peak thermal mass heater for optimal heating.

The exterior is equally enchanting, featuring thornless blackberries that produce an abundance of berries, and an orchard with jujube trees, apple, pear, apricot, and almond trees. The front yard is adorned with roses and mature flowering perennials, creating a picturesque setting. A dry stone wall with a strawbale stucco wall borders the pond side, enhancing the property's natural beauty.

Additional features include a 6x6 pro panel storage shed, a large chicken house with an attached tool shed, and full fencing around the property for added security and privacy.

This property is a peaceful retreat, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. Live on one side and rent out the other, use it as a bed and breakfast, or simply enjoy it as your beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle.
