Description
Sweet property located in Tres Piedras. Remodeled by a great local artist. Enjoy the gorgeous views of the night stars from the loft. The property includes a heated workshop, multiple pins for raising turkeys, geese or ducks. There is also a chicken coop, storage shed, a small three shed stable attached to a corral for horses and other farm animals. Beautiful views of the Sanger the Cristo Mountains! Artist Robert Ensor bought one of the oldest log cabins in Tres Piedras New Mexico 30 years ago. It was absent of electricity, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen and a wall on the east side of the house. His dream was to create a home with heart, a visually pleasing environment from which to create his art and a farm. Robert Ensor's creativity and love of natural building materials is evident through out the house. The stone walls, large slabs of wood and trees turned into posts and counter tops creates a unique one of a kind home. The addition of bottle walls adds color and playfulness. Mr Ensor was dedicated to creating a farm. Over the years he built corrals and pens. He raised chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. He kept horses, mules, goats and pigs. And the house gardens were always abundant with vegetables. Mr Ensor planted trees; Spruce. Oak, Aspen, Ash and Cottonwood. 30 years later these trees are mature shade trees dotted across the property. There are a few apple trees, a peach tree, plum tree, lilacs, a culinary herb garden, fences, corrals and pens Tres Piedras afforded Ensor solace and peace while still being close to much of Northern New Mexico., and being in close proximity to the Carson National Forest across the road. Taos is 30 minutes away, Espanola is 50 minutes away, Santa Fe 1hour away, Alamosa in Southern Colorado is 1 hour away as well. Carson National Forest is easily accessible with world class rock climbing 5 minutes from the house. Mountain Biking trails, cross country skiing, mushroom hunting and other Forest activities are endless and 5 minutes away. Living a country life takes a commitment and determination to live with a free lifestyle that includes beautiful and unobstructed views as well as the pure white snow as we welcome winter. This house is wood heated which could easily be converted to propane but Mr Ensor always preferred wood which he harvested from the forest nearby. In Mr Ensor's experience the solitude that this home has offered a profound transformation of self and self acceptance is available to anyone who is willing to take this journey. The transformation not only occurred in Mr Ensor himself but in the house as well. There's plenty of room for anybody who has the willingness to live in this splendid beauty. All things change and Mr Ensor is welcoming a new chapter in his life leaving behind this legacy of not only blood sweat and tears with passion and much love. The hardest work has been completed and the details are to be left up to you. I hope you enjoy this house and can feel the care put into making this a work of art. Serious inquiries only please. Owner financing to the right party.
