About this property

Private home along Pojoaque Creek, perfect for Families, Reunions & Getaways!

Welcome to El Caracol. Designed by renowned architect Allen McNown and built by our parents, Ann and Wilfred Friedman, this mid-century adobe fusion home has been restored and ownership is now back in the family!

Life in the Pojoaque Valley moves at a much slower pace. Cell signals are spotty and Ubers are rare. What El Caracol lacks in frills it makes for in originality, style and beauty.

The space

PLEASE NOTE: THE POOL IS OPEN MAY -SEPTEMBER ONLY.

Dubbed El Caracol for its striking spiral shape, the architecture revolves around the spiral staircase at the heart of the home. Each of the adobe bricks were formed and laid by the Friedman family who lived + loved here for over forty years.

Downstairs is comprised of three private bedrooms (1 queen bed/room), two full bathrooms, a sunroom with (full) daybed, a spacious sunken living room plus fully stocked chef's kitchen, dining room + dedicated workspace.

Upstairs offers a king + queen bed with an additional full bath, library + private deck. The upstairs suite is a true loft with no door.

We provide three air mattresses with additional linens at no extra charge.

El Caracol is situated on just over two acres of land. The back courtyard boasts a 40' pool (depth ranges 3' to 10') and hot tub. There is no lifeguard on duty. The hot tub is always heated at no extra charge.

The game room is not insulated and is not suitable for sleeping in the cold months, but is a real treat the rest of the year! Foosball, darts, pool table + ping-pong are available for your enjoyment.

The rear property line of El Caracol is Nambe Creek (property of the Pojoaque Pueblo). Most days of the year the is a wonderful trickling stream perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Guest access
The entire home, game room + surrounding fenced acreage is available to you during your stay.

Cell signals in the Pojoaque Valley are notoriously spotty. We encourage guests to utilize wifi-enabled calling while at El Caracol.

Ubers in Pojoaque are few + far between. We recommend you have your own vehicle for getting around.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great host. Loved the property and everything on it. Game room was great, extra supplies on site were great, and such a unique property. Was our home base for a 16 person ski trip if a lifetime. We are already talking about coming back next year.
