Nestled in the storied community of Chupadero, just outside Santa Fe, this remarkable 1.49-acre property offers an authentic New Mexico lifestyle steeped in history and natural beauty. Chupadero has been a vital agricultural corridor for centuries, with acequia irrigation systems dating back to the Spanish colonial era that continue to nourish the land today.
This lovingly owner-built adobe home, crafted in the late 1980s, embodies timeless Southwestern architecture while offering modern comfort. The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, complemented by flexible living space. Classic brick floors add warmth and character throughout, creating an inviting ambiance. The property’s precious acequia water rights provide flood irrigation when available—a rare asset for the established orchard and fruit trees. Mature cottonwoods offer shade and seasonal beauty. A private well ensures year-round water security, and the brand-new septic system provides peace of mind.
A charming 1-bedroom guest house offers privacy for visitors or potential rental income. The dedicated workshop with office space is perfect for artisans, hobbyists, or remote professionals. With a barn and corral there is ample room for horses or other livestock, this property is ideal for those seeking a spot for their miniature donkeys or sustainable homestead.
Practical amenities include a 1-car garage and carport. The meticulous maintenance throughout reflects the owner’s decades-long commitment to preserving this special sanctuary.
This is more than a home—it’s a connection to New Mexico’s agricultural legacy and an opportunity to embrace a slower, more intentional way of life in one of Santa Fe’s most historically significant communities.
