36 Private Drive 1045

This well-maintained 1746 sq ft, 2bed/1 bath adobe sits on 5.2 acres of irrigated orchard land with mature fruit trees sits a stone’s throw away from the mighty Rio Grande. Situated in the quaint agricultural village of Velarde at the top of the Espanola Valley, once called La Joya, we offer you a northern NM farm ready for new life and new energy. With two water taps into the Velarde Community Water system plus an extensive in-ground irrigation system including a sand trap and alfalfa valves to control in-ground the irrigation pipe you can easily flood irrigate your fields all year long. This rare opportunity to own a working small farm in one of the most productive lush valleys of northern NM is not to be missed. You will find mature apple, pear, apricot and walnut trees with an old adobe in excellent shape on productive lush land with well-functioning farming infrastructure. The bonus is a rich collection of stories that reflect the turbulent history of el Norte. The sweet old adobe was built around 1903 and has been in the Ortega family for generations; Eulogio and Zoraida Ortega had the adobe chapel built next door in 1980. Thereafter, their private chapel became a place for folks from across the valley to gather in every season to swap tales and history and share craft making. The adobe was remodeled between 2011 and 2014 to give you new kitchen cabinets, new appliances, a new floor in the second bedroom, and a new water heater. In recent times the family has grown organic produce on these fields and supplied the Santa Fe Farmer's Market. This is truly a rare find: call us to arrange a private visit.
