Property Description
This modern Dixon farmhouse gives you approximately 1,790 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a spacious detached 2-car garage. Built in 2005 and thoughtfully expanded in 2014, the home sits on approximately 1.79 acres of irrigated land, with commanding views of the Lion’s Head cliff at Piedra Lumbre. Located about 1.5 miles beyond the center of the village, at the edge of Apodaca, the property stretches from the El Llano Ditch northward all the way to the bosque of Embudo Creek, where you have your own beach and a secluded riparian enclave. From the shady back porch and deck, you can take in long views east toward Jicarita Peak in Peñasco while being surrounded by the ever-changing melodies of running water and birdsong from the canopy of cottonwoods and alders lining the creek. A long driveway winds down from the main road, passing a long field and mature orchard watered by laterals, or venitas, from the acequia madre. Planted with pollinator-friendly grasses and wildflowers, the approach ends with a circular drive at the front gate. Beyond the gate, you discover a walled cottage garden filled with herbs, xeric perennials, lilacs, native wildflowers, and even a small patch of lawn. Inside, large windows, high beamed tongue-and-groove ceilings, travertine tile floors throughout, white beadboard-clad custom cabinetry, white subway tile, and contrasting dark granite kitchen counters create a public space that feels open, modern, familiar, and classic all at once. The spacious dining room draws you through French doors to the back deck, inviting the shaded outdoor space to become a natural extension of the living and dining areas. The primary suite includes a bathroom with marble counters, double sinks, American-plaster-clad walls, and a generous claw-foot porcelain tub. It also opens onto the back porch while offering the rare pleasure of catching the sunset from bed. This wing includes a second bedroom and guest bath, while the opposite end of the house holds the addition: a large third bedroom with a walk-in closet, currently used by the owners as an office and workroom. Thoughtfully designed for a low-impact lifestyle, the home features 2x10 insulated exterior walls, exposed adobe brick lining the kitchen and living room to create a thermal sink in winter, a broad hipped roof that shades the house in summer, a 5.4 kW solar array on the garage, a Level 2 EV charger inside the garage, 9,000 gallons of rainwater catchment cisterns, raised garden beds, a Riga greenhouse, and hot-water radiant heat powered by a Navien combi boiler. A host of carefully chosen details underscores the quality of design and the depth of care that make this home so beloved: a Bertazzoni stove, Bosch super-silent dishwasher, porcelain double kitchen sink, ceiling fans with flair, an enameled Jøtul wood stove, dimmers on most public-space lighting, built-in cabinets for books, art, and entertainment, a generous laundry room with sink, a well-designed chicken coop and run, a woodshed, and a tool shed. This rare northern NM gem is the essence of turnkey - as soon as you visit you will find you want to linger and move in.
