At the end of County Road 61 in Embudo, along the canyon between Santa Fe and Taos, a quieter stretch of the Rio Grande corridor unfolds among trees and open land. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath adobe home offers approximately 2,100 square feet on 1.49 acres, with access to the Rio Grande, a private well, and 2 quarter share of irrigation rights from the La Junta ditch. Step inside and the warmth of the wood-paneled rooms sets the tone. Honey-colored walls, exposed vigas, and natural light give the home a welcoming, lived-in character. Passive-solar design makes thoughtful use of the sun; a wood stove and fireplace bring another kind of warmth as evening settles in. The adobe addition also holds traditional artistry; made with red clay from La Bajada, white sand from Pilar and mica from the mine. Locally crafted kitchen cabinetry and artisan tile in the bathroom add unique local details. The acreage invites time outdoors and a hands-on connection with the land. Spend time by the Rio Grande, reviving the old adobe chicken coop, gathering your harvest from the fruit trees and creating your slice of paradise. About three miles away, Dixon is a welcoming center of Embudo Valley life, with local wineries, a popular restaurant, a cooperative market, and a seasonal farmers’ market. The award-winning Embudo Valley Library and Community Center, a local school, senior center, and holistic wellness center add to the town’s close-knit feel. With hiking and Rio Grande recreation nearby, Taos a short 30 minute drive; this Embudo home offers a thoughtful base for enjoying Northern New Mexico’s landscape and way of life.
