If you enjoy being just a little off the beaten path, just little out of the way, in the arms of the Sangre de Cristo mountains with wide open space around you, El Rito is your place. In the heart of the village, this unique property is now offered for sale. Secluded with a high walled compound, this authentic Territorial adobe has been thoughtfully restored throughout. This home has spacious rooms with high ceilings and careful attention to preserving its original character and architectural integrity…adobe walls, nooks and niches, carved lintels, vigas and exposed beams, and rustic paneled doors blend seamlessly with the wood and brick floors. El Rito Hideaway is completely enclosed with a courtyard, 1237 sq ft main house, 630 sq ft guest house. The guesthouse has a full kitchen, bath and courtyard and patio. The light filled studio/gallery with 1500 sq ft that once served the 19th century stage coach travelers, offers plenty of workspace for artists and craftsmen. All of this sits on over an acre of land with lush gardens and mature fruit trees with irrigation rights from the acequia. And plenty of room for a horse! El Rito is home to the historic campus of the Northern New Mexico College, a vibrant library, schools, churches, medical clinic, and is widely known for its nationally acclaimed El Farolito restaurant. The community has an abundance of artists, artisans, and the tradition of Spanish Colonial crafts. Only 60 miles to Santa Fe, Taos, and Whole Foods.
