About this property

Relaxing, comfortable home for entertaining or enjoying the view

Come home and relax with a glass of wine or tea while enjoying the ultimate View of the city lights and the mountains. This home was remodeled to capture all that Albuquerque has to offer. The large, gourmet kitchen is open to the family room and office area, and is loaded with everything you need for cooking. A drink refrigerator and trash compactor accompany the kitchen. The bedrooms all have very comfortable beds with new, fresh linens. The baths come with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Whether you are here for a short stay or for work; the neighborhood has every you might need. Groceries, shopping, gym and restaurants are just a 2 minute drive. There are several parks within walking distance. There is a 2.5 mile walking trail just behind the house on the bluff. I am a Realtor.

Hidden Gem

The house is in a quiet neighborhood with a panoramic view of the mountains and Albuquerque. The Rio Grande River is close by along with many walking trails. If you’re awake early, you’ll see hot air balloons floating in the distance. It was a wonderfully maintained house and we’ll definitely stay again if we’re in the Albuquerque area.

Perfectly Peaceful

The property is the perfect place to rest and relax. We had family business to attend to and after a long stressful day, the house was the perfect place to unwind and organize for the next days events. I would definitely book this property again the next time we come out to visit.

Views, views, views...

Online pictures of the home are good, but they don't do it justice. The kitchen was a fun gathering area, and the living room was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the spectacular mountain views. Evening views of the city lights were also remarkable. Located in a friendly and quiet neighborhood away from busy intersections. Walking the nearby trail is a must. Will definitely stay here again.

Spring in New Mexico

Our second visit here. Property and location does not disappoint. 3 nights ago watched the full moon rise over the Sandias with ABQ laid out below. Most spectacular moonrise I’ve seen in 75+ years on this planet. A true gift of good fortune.

Fabulous view and kitchen/family area

Not only does this property have the best view ever but we were fortunate to see 15 hot air balloons launch from our vantage point in the backyard. Everything about this home is as advertised, except there are 2 bathrooms (the VRBO listing states just one). As far as we're concerned, this is the best rental property in ABQ.

A place to get away

My staff and I stayed at the property during Fiesta and found it the perfect get away from the hubbub of the festival chaos. We especially enjoyed the kitchen which suited many cooks in one space as we had several different dietary needs. Although we had some check in difficulties Jenny was on top of trying to resolve the issue. I don’t expect it to be a reoccurring one. I highly recommend this as a quiet getaway while in the ABQ area.

As beautiful as it looks!

We loved our stay at this lovely home in Rio Rancho. Out the front door and turn left about 100 feet to an awesome running trail. Neighbors were friendly. The host replied promptly to any questions. We were busy with graduation activities and wished we had even more time to hang out and enjoy the views. I am grateful the house pleased everyone, including me. Thank you.

About the host

Host profile image
This is my 5th home to transform in to a furnished rental. I bought this home in 2019 and lived there while I completely remodeled. I tore off the backside of the house and added all windows to capture the views. It's in a great location, in the heart of Rio Rancho. These homes are my retirement plan, so, take this very seriously. I also help Seniors downsize and move as well as own my own Real Estate firm. I'm keep very busy but I have a staff that helps me.....or I might lose my mind...lol

Why they chose this property

The home was built in 1972 with the old style floorplan. Front room, separate den, separate dining. Then someone along the way, added an enclosed patio. All the walls were blocking this fabulous view. So, I bought the house and completely tore off the backside of the house and made it bigger with a bunch of windows. I also took out walls and opened the house up so you can see out the windows. It's was an incredible makeover
