This almost 150-year-old house on the market in northern New Mexico sprawled over 2 acres of land
Apr. 19—Located off the beaten track, roughly a half-hour drive from Santa Fe, this historic home at 5 B La Otra Vanda, Galisteo, was built in 1875. This territorial-style home has rustic wooden doors, vigas, decorative woodwork, custom plaster and even hand-painted tiles. The home boasts five fireplaces, multiple living rooms, an office exercise room and even an artist's studio. The main bedroom has its own bathroom with two vanities, a claw-foot tub and a walk-in shower. French doors open to the backyard. The kitchen is washed in natural light pouring in from windows and skylights. Pops of blue, hand-painted tiling and a Viking range make the kitchen stand out. The guest room can be closed off from the main house with its own living room, bathroom and bedroom, making an ideal in-law suite. A sun room adds a perfect place to enjoy nature while still being protected from the elements. The backyard hosts a spacious porch with a fireplace, and easily-maintained rock landscaping. The front patio is enclosed by an adobe wall and the artfully landscaped courtyard is dotted with trees, leading to a spacious front porch and bright blue french doors leading inside. The more than two acres of space ensure plenty of space for hobbies. There are two outbuildings, one for storage, the other a two-car double-height, insulated garage wired for electric car charging and heating. It has a reinforced slab for car lifts.
