About this property
Close to Taos but a world away from tourists! Come home to authentic New Mexico
Charming, roomy home in Dixon, one of the last True New Mexico small towns. Relax into small-town life in the comfy one bedroom, one office home. Sleeping arrangements include master bedroom with king-sized Temperpedic, second bedroom with queen bed, and two living room sofas that could be made into beds. Enjoy the deep quiet of this stretch of the Embudo Valley, with its wineries, farms, and Embudo Creek. This home has everything you need. A spacious kitchen with island seating for four; living room with multiple sitting areas; dining room with room for six or more, and a second bedroom you can use as an office. Relax on the deck with outdoor dining seating. The house has views from mesa to mesa with fantastic perspectives on both sunrises and sunsets. Dixon provides small-town living at its best and has everything you need. The famous Dixon Co-op grocery store is fully stocked and there’s a library, second-hand store and radio station. The local elementary school reminds you that real families are still enjoying the best countryside living. You can too! 30 minutes from Taos, 30 minutes to skiing in Sipapu (where the locals go), 50 minutes to both Santa Fe and Los Alamos. Biking, hiking, river rafting on the Rio Grande, artists and studio tours. Under 2 hours from the Albuquerque airport but a world away.
