A stage stop in the 1800's, this home located along the high road to Taos, also known as the Camino Real, was the gathering place for which the local area, "Cuarteles" was named. The stages and wagons traveled between Santa Fe and Taos.
Fronted by a solar powered iron security gate, winding down a long drive past mature trees over a bridged acequia to the residential compound, you can step back into history.
The 300 year old Llano acequia flows from Santa Cruz Lake in the hills above, through the nearly 3 acre estate. Contributing to its' ambiance, wild roses, tall locust trees and lush greenery form an idyllic separation between the residence and the road. On site structures include an historic chapel with original pews, and a storage barn with view deck facing the mountains to the East. The home's double adobe walls and central courtyard make it a classic northern new Mexico Hacienda, while maintaining its' warmth in winter and cool summer temperature.
The back yard as seen from the graceful veranda, views lawn, roses, lilacs, daylillies, a pond and waterfall, and a swimming pool and deck recently refurbished. A giant willow and other ornamental trees transform the estate into a New Mexico oasis. On the morning side the irrigated field is sutiable for lavender or organic gardening. Grapes line the arbor and fence near the back gate, watched over by apricot and crab apple trees.

The Llano acequia runs from Santa Cruz Lake through this nearly three-acre estate, originally a stop and gathering place for wagon trains headed south to Santa Fe from Taos. Roses and tall mature locust trees line the acequia and provide a regal leafy barrier between the residence and the road. A lush lawn; plentiful roses, lilacs, and daylilies; a new swimming pool; and towering mature trees of all sorts create an enviable oasis here. Steps from the main yard and in full view of the majestic mountains lies a field suitable for organic gardening.
