This lovely, light-filled, adobe cottage is a converted barn set on a large, quiet, historic property full of towering, old trees on the Santa Fe River in the most sought-after neighborhood in the city. Casita del Rio is a seven-minute drive to the Santa Fe Plaza, five minutes to the fabled art galleries and restaurants of Canyon Road, five minutes to Museum Hill, and steps from hiking and biking trails through the canyon and across the street. It's also five minutes from St. John's College, 12 minutes to any grocery store, and 40 minutes to Los Alamos National Laboratory. The property is managed by the owner, who lives on-site. Casita del Rio is beautifully appointed and designed, with high ceilings, a pitched roof, and a working, stone fireplace crafted from rocks found on the property. Beautiful old apple and other trees provide shade, while south, east, and west-facing windows and French Doors in the bedroom and living room allow ample sunlight. One thousand square feet includes a comfortable living/dining/kitchen area with high ceilings; master bedroom with a walk-in closet, en suite bath with double sinks, shower with fixed and hand-held sprayers, a sunken tub, and a cozy office with separate entrance.

The patio includes a gas grill, table seating for four, and comfortable chairs for reading or enjoying your morning tea, coffee, or evening cocktail. The house, which was built 20 years ago, has recently been completely refurbished with fresh paint and stucco inside and out, some new high-end appliances, Frette linens, and a queen-sized, Doctor's Choice orthopedic mattress. Fully furnished, it is decorated in a simple, yet sophisticated mix of contemporary and antique New Mexico furniture and photographs from the collection of the owner, who publishes art books. There are two ceiling fans, one in the living room and one in the bedroom--it's all you need in the canyon in the summer--and radiant heat to keep you toasty warm in the winter. High-speed internet, cable television, a Bose cd/radio, a land line for emergencies, and two parking spaces are included along with all other utilities as well as recycling. Casita del Rio's terrific location allows easy access to all the best that Santa Fe has to offer in the way of culture, restaurants, shopping, and the outdoors, while providing a beautiful, welcoming retreat to relax in after your adventures or workday. The Audubon Center and Nature Conservancy Trails are up the street, accessible by foot as well as by car, and the historic Water Park is at the other end across from the historic Cristo Rey Church.
