The Casa

---

A comfortable double adobe home of 3,500 SQFT, the Casa is the centerpiece of La Huerta.  It has a wrap around portal that creates shade and cozy spaces perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views. The home features far too many amenities to list, many customized for the Casa. The original home was constructed in the mid 1800's and remodeled by John Gaw Meem in 1953.   

Comprised of 1 1/2 bedrooms, and 2 baths, this premier-quality dwelling features double adobe walls over 2 ft. thick, hardwood and custom glazed tile floors, new doors and windows, and beautiful hand hewn ceilings and vigas. Access from most rooms to the portals lend the home to expansive outdoor living and the views to the pool and Sangre De Cristo Mountains are breathtaking. Artisan attention to detail and respectful historic preservation make this a home of both comfort and character.

A wonderful great room encompasses a sitting and dining area, with fireplace and 10’ ceilings. A heated floor and cast Iron tub offer luxury to a simple and elegant master bathroom. There is a spacious TV/Guest room which opens to a small patio. The intriguing flow of the home is appealing; an  open floor plan and surrounding portals extend the rooms to outdoor living providing fresh mountain air and exceptional star gazing opportunities. This home offers many interesting fixtures, craftsman-quality details, and design features.

A complete remodeled was finished in 2018 and all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems now interface with the latest technology. The property can easily  be manged using the latest technology for lighting, security and off site control. The remodel included installing solid wood doors, hand crafted windows and cabinetry. The landscaping around the improvements is tasteful yet practical, with flagstone patios and portals accented by lush flowers, many fruit trees, and various native plants. A gorgeous, relaxing swimming pool and dual fire pits are the main event for outdoor dining and viewing the spectacular sunrises or sunsets. The entire setting is reminiscent of a small luxury resort, and the look is relaxed, classy, and tasteful.
