40 Santistevan Rd, El Prado, NM 87529

Framed by sweeping Sangre de Cristo mountain vistas and vibrant mesa sunsets, this authentic 2000-built adobe retreat delivers pure Northern New Mexico soul across roughly 1.66 private El Prado acres. Inside the main 1-bed, 1-bath home, classic regional craftsmanship takes center stage. Warm earthen walls and rich architectural character anchor an artistic, light-filled layout centered around a lofted sleeping sanctuary. Cozy up through high-country winters with efficient radiant floor heat (pump updated c. 2022), while a durable metal roof stands resilient against the elements. Offered turnkey with curated minimal furnishings, this sanctuary is move-in ready from day one as a personal creative haven or high-desert getaway. The compound’s true magic lies in its adaptability: The Detached Studio (550 SF): A partially finished, high-ceiling canvas primed for an artist’s workspace, private office, or conversion into a lucrative guest casita/income rental. Bonus Developable Parcel: A separate adjoining lot awaiting your vision—expand the homesite, design a custom compound, or build a dedicated guest house (buyer to verify county zoning/permitting). Homestead Touches & Infrastructure: Fully updated septic lines (2025), newer Rheem water heater (c. 2022), county-maintained road grading via Santistevan Road, and a fenced yard complete with an enclosed camper cleverly reimagined as a chicken coop. Whether you are seeking an income-producing high-desert compound, an artist’s workspace, or a flexible multi-generational homestead, this dual-parcel El Prado property offers rare versatility with iconic mesa and mountain backdrops. Maintained year-round with regular county road grading along Santistevan Rd and rapid access to US-64W for direct travel to the slopes, rivers, and town amenities.
