Unique hill top Adobe home on 3.5 acres off a private road just 2.9 miles south of Jemez Springs, town center. Nestled between the Jemez River & Santa Fe Mountains, you will surely find each sunset & sunrise irresistible. Explore the property by walking the multiple paths throughout the property, crossing the road & hiking up the mountains or perching yourself on top of the highest rock. Lots to explore for both adults & kids. Along with two wood burning Kivas, three portable/rolling heaters and radiant heated flooring throughout the house you will surely keep warm throughout the winter months. Fans in bedrooms & portable AC units/fans, which can be moved room to room, can keep you cool during the summer. At night you can open the European style side-opening windows for a soft breeze as you listen to desert animals.

You will notice many artistic elements throughout the home. The home was designed & build by a lifelong artist who crafted the tilework pieces in the ledges of the windowsills, tile surrounds, bench seating next to windows & more. True adobe home w/artistic details to match at every spot. Watch the movie of 'my parents' designing and building the home from hand & you will surely see how much care was taken into every artistic inch of the home. There are games for kids, adults & couples to enjoy, as well as, a small library.

An art nook in the back of the kitchen has been added with options to create your very own artwork to take home. Watercolor, colored pencils, paints, many mediums for both kids and adults are awaiting your magical touch. Please contribute to the sketch book. There are plenty of canvases and water color papers for you to enjoy. Make and take while you enjoy the 360 degree views night and day. Our goal has always been to never have to turn on the TV and to bring out the artist in everyone. Children can paint rocks & add to the property.

Yoga/exercise mats and blocks have been added for you to move your workout outdoors in the morning or even on the heated floor to take in the full enjoyment of the peace and tranquility.

Living Areas/Kitchen:
A large open kitchen, dinning & living space with vaulted ceilings and pendent lighting is situated in the middle of the home. Windows throughout the room provide natural lighting and beautiful sights at every angle. There are two counter height bar stools and 4 rolling chairs w/bench seating at the dining area, seating 8 comfortably for meals. Massive custom designed granite countertops provide plenty of space for the ideal family gathering. There is a kiva in the room to warm yourself during the winter. Updated living room furniture & a massive Firestick TV (with Pluto TV) is fixed to the wall. New Oven (23'), current hot tub is new as of April 23 (24 hours to warm).


***Washer and Dryer, along with deep freeze, extra cleaning supplies/paper towels, etc. are available for guests staying 5 nights or longer. Please ask for secondary code to owners panty. A detailed welcome binder will be located in the home.

Bedrooms/Bathroom:
The home features two large bedrooms, both with queen beds. The master bedroom is at the back of the house, has its very own kiva fireplace and large windows that overlook the valley. A full size fouton couch was added for kids to sleep if needed. Double full glass French doors lead to a private patio providing the perfect spot for morning coffee. The back closet space leads to two separate rooms for (his and her) toilets/vanity spaces. The master bathroom has a shower with rainfall showerhead. The massive corner tub is jetted and sits in a corner of windows overlooking the valley w/new chandelier & can often times be the most romantic spot in the home. New ceiling fans installed (23') both bedrooms provide a light breeze throughout your stay.

The second bedroom has a queen bed and a set of bunk beds (w/trundle) which can accommodate 5 people comfortably. A electric fireplace has been added to keep you warm in the evenings. A dresser and closet available for storage, a decorative chair, and side table along with reading lights on each side of the bed make this a great room to relax. A back door heads out to the side of the house. Opening the windows at night allows for the best breeze. The second bathroom across the hall has a rainfall showerhead, large vanity and seating. You’ll surely notice the hand laid mosaic tilework up the side of the shower stall. *** please be careful climbing to top bunk.

Here is a video I made many years ago of my parents building this home brick by brick and the love that went into the home.

Outdoor area: BRING YOUR OWN WOOD
There are 3 decks on the back and side of the property along with paved areas. Two back decks have gates. A SOLO Brand stove/wood burning fire pit has been added (Mar. 2022) w/additional seating (stacked and stored inside). A deck off the master has a quaint sitting area. The other deck has a nice conversation area for an evening glass of wine. There is a two car covered car port out front and a rocked drive way, both step and ramp entry to a one story all tiled home. Many gates and gardens where kids can get lost exploring, climbing and searching for critters are located all throughout the 3.5 acres. The tubs and showers use an on demand hot water system. The home uses water harvesting for the lower gardening beds. Be careful when showering or using the tub to not put any harsh chemicals down the drain as it flows directly into the garden. Furthermore, be careful walking the property for pipes that run throughout to water the grounds.

Raven House glory
We had a delightful stay at Raven House this February. The house was in the Perfect location in the gorgeous mountains just a few minutes from Jemez Springs. The fireplaces were magical, the views from every window spectacular and the beds were very comfortable! We are definitely planning another stay there this fall. The only issue we had was that the guest shower did not get warm enough, but it was no problem to use the main shower. This was one of our favorite places to retreat and relax. We love Raven House.

We cant wait to go back!!
This property is in a great location and offers fantastic views of the mountains. There is a true feeling of seclusion due to the neighbors being a decent distance away. There is much to discover on the land surrounding the home and great opportunities to immerse in nature.

Amazing location and unique artistic house
To wake every day and gaze at the sun making its way down the wall of the canyon cliffs is one the most amazing experiences I’ve had. The house is quirky in a very charming way, and the views are phenomenal from every window. Don’t miss the chance to have this experience!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Pointer

Host profile image
Welcome to the Raven House, a true Adobe style home nestled on the edge of the Santa Fe Mountains at 357 Madrid Road, Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The property sits on 3.5 acres and features a 2000 sq ft. home and 2.5 bathrooms. It is fully furnished and updated to sleep 7 guests comfortably. Perfect for a large family with children, ladies retreat or family gathering.

The Raven House was designed and built by Judy and Andy Pointer-Procell. It took over 10 years to design, 10 years to build and was fully completed in 2015. Most of the home was built by hand by both the owners. They took great care in designing the home to make it wheelchair accessible as well as, aesthetically appealing to those wishing to view sunsets and sunrises, stargaze and dream throughout their stay. Artwork adorns the home, mostly created by Judy, but some by local artists and some available to purchase by other local artists in the area. Although both Judy and Andy have passed, the home was designed to be a family home, a gathering to bring together families and friends to enjoy for many years to come. Christine, their daughter, continues to care for the home from Houston, Texas, Like her mother, Christine hopes you enjoy the home as she does during family gatherings. She often enjoys the view from the patio early mornings or late in the day which gives way to opportunities for daydreams about those who rode and traveled through the valley many years before.

Please love the home as the creators intended you to and spend time creating special moments, as those are short and easily pass us by.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this home are it's views. You will not find another rental in Jemez with these views. You will not find another rental with the artistic touches and hand work that was used to create this home. It is not the most perfect home by all means, but you can tell when Andy and Judy built it they did with purpose and love. I have continued to make improvements every year to hopefully create the most enjoyable place in Jemez to visit.
