Adobe Hacienda With 3 Shady Acres and Pool

Description from the owner

This grand hacienda is on a very private 3-acre estate located at the end of the road along the Rio Grande Bosque Nature Preserve in the village of Corrales. Situated amidst the ancient Cottonwood trees in a park like setting, the property is close to the shops and restaurants in the charming, historic village of Corrales. Built with double thick adobe walls, this 5600 square foot home has all of the charm characteristic of southwestern adobe architecture, with carved posts, peeled viga ceilings, brick floors, curved walls and arched doorways. The house has 3 separate living areas for privacy and for staging events. There are 4 unique, beau...tiful talavera tiled baths, 4 very private, large bedroom retreats, plus a comfortable 5th bedroom in the loft. The lovely master bedroom suite has 2 rooms, a king size bed, plus an extra twin, kiva fireplace, and a large bath with Jacuzzi tub. In addition, there are two bedrooms with queen beds and a queen futon, one bedroom with 2 twins, and the spacious loft bedroom has a queen. The fully equipped kitchen has a big center island, cherry cabinets, and is equipped with everything necessary to cook a gourmet meal. There is HD cable TV, plus a pool table and piano in the den. The second living room has a large kiva fireplace and windows looking out over the pool and the Cottonwoods. There is wireless Internet service throughout the house. Outside there are two separate patios, with a seasonal pool, gardens and a barbeque grill. Corrales has many choices for fine dining, fabulous Village Pizza, farmer's markets, horses, farmland and wildlife. There are dirt roads, no traffic lights, and the essence of a time gone by pervades the senses. Remarkably this peaceful sanctuary is only 10 minutes from Albuquerque, 10 minutes from the Cottonwood mall, 15 minutes from Balloon Fiesta Park, and 25 minutes to downtown, the Old Town plaza, fabulous art and history museums, the Rio Grande Zoo, Biopark and Aquarium. A short drive to the Sandia Tramway will take you to the top of Sandia Mountain for hiking and skiing. There are nearby wineries, fine art galleries, museums and Indian pueblos. Sandia Casino is 15 minutes away and has a fine venue for concerts and a world-class spa and restaurant. Tamaya Resort and Day Spa on the Santa Ana Indian reservation is also close by. Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is 45 minutes to the south, Santa Fe is an hour north, and Taos is a 2-hour scenic drive away. Consider this rental as a location for an artist retreat. Plein air locations are endless as you stroll along the Bosque with views of the Sandia Mountains, wildflowers, majestic Cottonwoods, and the layered hues of the grasses, river, mountain and sky. The quality of the light in the glorious New Mexico sky is magical and inspiring. This is a fabulous location for family vacations, reunions, retreats of any kind. This makes an excellent location for artist retreats, as plein air painting locations abound. Tours, meals, and other services can also be provided. The pool will be open from June 1 until September 1.Read more

  Fantastic stay in a beautiful location! Absolutely superb

  Beautiful casita in Corrales with no shortage of scenery. Fantastic place to stay with children who were well occupied on the swings and running around the property. Great amenities and a terrifically warm welcome by the owners on our late night arrival leaving a basket of goodies. Conveniently located to many local establishments, Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Laundry facilities made it great for the extended stay and we were all well entertained by the horse (who by far had more character than I have ever seen in a horse) who calls this lovely place home. We enjoyed many mornings and evenings sitting on the deck sipping coffee while enjoying the weather and fountain. Looking forward to the next time we can go back!
  
  This is a wonderful place to stay with great owners and I could not recommend it any higher!
