38 and 40 El Gusano Drive, North San Ysidro, NM 87538 (MLS# 993407)

Crafted from the depths of ones' superlative imagination, this unique vision only presents itself once in a lifetime. Watch the river dance from this extraordinary and sophisticated property located just 8 miles north of Rowe in the lush Pecos River Valley. Situated on two separately deeded lots of approximately 2.4 manicured and landscaped acres, two homes are sited to enjoy vast mesa and valley views all just a short stroll to the swirling river below. The main house is a two-story, two bedroom/two bath frame and stucco constructed home with high end fixtures, finishes and appliances throughout. An attached art studio with vaulted ceilings and large windows allow the light to showcase its changing nuances throughout the day.

Supplements: The separate, eco-friendly straw bale and adobe constructed casita has an open concept living/dining and kitchen area surrounded by abundant light and warmth from the large picture and clerestory windows. The bedroom suite has a spa-like feel with a large soaking tub and views to the back yard gardens. Generously appointed with smooth plaster walls and colored concrete floors, the casita has its own special feel, and has been used as a guest retreat with positive income. A one-car carport has an attached storage room and yet another art space, perfect for seasonal creation. Vast gardens - herb, vegetables, berries, evergreens, fruit trees, flowers and a bubbling pond embrace the home with many areas for quiet reflection and inspiration, all drip irrigated and mature. Most of the property is walled, gated and fenced with steps down to the riverfront. Private and quiet, the land is such that it will leave you enchanted, inspired and completely restored.
