Romantic, rustic hideaway in a true "oasis in the desert". This casita is part of a property on the national historic register. Los Terrones Adobe Casitas is located on historic Guadalupe Trail in the Village of Los Ranchos. Authentic adobe construction with exposed vigas (beams) and brick floors throughout, huge picture windows on the east side which look onto acres of green lawn and mature landscaping where roadrunners and other birds love to linger. Perfect launch site for hot air balloons right in front of the windows!
Large bedroom with banco, queen-size memory foam bed, desk, chair, dresser, nightstands, cable TV with DVD player and rollaway bed for extra guest. Separate full kitchen with banco, table and chairs, large closets. One bathroom with shower. Authentic southwest decor and old world charm throughout. Private patio with table and chairs surrounded by trees and gardens with a view of the Sandia Mountains.
Located on 6.5 acres of green meadows canopied by huge 100 year old cottonwood trees, in a semi-rural environment called Los Terrones. Far enough from city noise to enjoy peace and quiet yet conveniently close to the freeway, allowing easy access to all parts of Albuquerque and surrounding areas. Perfectly situated for balloonists, with the Balloon Fiesta Park only 5 minutes. to the northeast. Only 15 minutes from the airport, 1 mile to the Railrunner train stop, and 45 minutes by car to Santa Fe. Old Town Albuquerque and the Aquarium/ Bio park are just a short drive south down Rio Grande Blvd. Walking distance to bike paths, a health food store and the “antique mile” along 4th Street. Just minutes to Casa Rondena Winery and large shopping malls across the Rio Grande.

Why the Owner Chose Albuquerque
This unique property belonged to my grandparents and I always enjoyed visiting it in my youth. It is a piece of paradise, a semi-rural setting hidden within a metropolitan area which makes it close to nature but also close to all the conveniences of the city.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love the easy access to all parts of Albuquerque and New Mexico while enjoying the tranquil, green, natural environment and historic ambiance. The trip to Santa Fe, which we enjoy visiting often, is very short, whether by car or the Railrunner train.
The Los ranchos station on the Railrunner line, which goes to Santa Fe northbound and to Belen southbound.
This trail runs alongside the Rio Grande Bosque for several miles. The northern end is near Alameda Blvd. and it stretches south past Rio Bravo Blvd.
Every weekend, fresh local produce, handcrafted items, live music, etc.
Owner's Map of Albuquerque
As an Air Force brat I grew up all over the world, but my heart always belonged in New Mexico where my grandparents lived. My wife is a native of New Mexico and we both enjoy traveling.
