32 Avenida Vieja

A Contemporary Galisteo architectural treasure! Great views of the Galisteo River Basin. The rich history of a Northern New Mexico village surrounds this home. Designed by noted architect Beverly Spears, this four-building Rastra (foam insulated concrete) constructed compound offers a main house of 1866 sf, a 640 sf separate primary suite/casita, a detached 958 sf building with two separate studio/offices, a half bath and lots of storage that could easily convert into a casita. There is a large 640 sf studio/garage conversion (frame stucco). These three buildings have mini-split HVAC systems. The main house has an open plan, spacious kitchen, a center cooking and preparation island, granite countertops, and a living and dining room with dramatic views of the bosque and wildlife. Three buildings are single-level, with two upstairs guest rooms above the main house. On five acres bounded by the Galisteo Creek is a large, fenced garden with raised beds for growing vegetables irrigated by one of two buried 2500 gallon cisterns. Professionally designed xeric landscaping includes native New Mexican plantings and a generous private flagstone patio. Recent ground and roof-mounted solar panels equal electric bills of less than $2.00 a month! A sophisticated home design for a contemporary lifestyle!
