Historic Adobe Retreat with Private Pond in La Cienega Tucked away in the heart of the historic village of La Cienega, this one-of-a-kind adobe home exudes timeless Southwestern charm, rich history, and a serene natural setting. Originally built in the 1940s and lovingly owned since 1976, the property reflects nearly 50 years of thoughtful additions, creativity, and connection to the land. Set on .74 acres, the home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in the main house, plus a private attached mother-in-law suite-ideal as a guest casita, studio, or home office-with its own entrance, kitchenette, full bath, and fenced yard. The main home offers a spacious living room, full kitchen, and large bath with a clawfoot tub. Classic adobe craftsmanship shines throughout, highlighted by four traditional kiva fireplaces that add warmth and ambiance. Expanded over time, the home includes a sunken living room with pond views, an enlarged kitchen and bedroom, and a covered outdoor summer kitchen with patios, porches, and an outdoor fireplace-perfect for entertaining or relaxing under the stars. At the heart of the property lies a 100-year-old spring-fed pond with a sunning deck and aeration system, surrounded by mature trees, native grasses, and seasonal blooms. Whether for swimming, fishing, floating, or simply soaking in serenity, it's a truly special retreat. Conveniently located just 20-25 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and near the airport, the home offers peaceful country living with city access. Ideally positioned between Ojo Santa Fe Spa & Resort and Rancho de las Golondrinas. Recent upgrades include roof improvements by Northway Roofing (warranty through Feb 2027) and well maintenance by Luhan Water Well Services (June 2025). Offered as-is, this is a rare opportunity to own and personalize a historic adobe in one of Northern New Mexico's most cherished communities.
