"Azteca Amor" A Victorian Gem in the Southwest

My husband Steve and I purchased “Azteca Amor” in September of 2021 after looking for over a year for the perfect property to create as a vacation rental in the Aztec area. We live just north of the border in Colorado. We love exploring New Mexico with our family. If you have not yet had the opportunity we think you are going to love it too!

Steve is a builder by trade and I am a photographer. This house has been a fun project for me. Every piece of furniture has a story. I am a big fan of color and comfort. I put a lot of effort into bringing both those elements into this house to make it a cozy place for anyone to relax and enjoy.

This is a quiet, relaxing neighborhood to chill out in. It is in the heart of Aztec. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood in the morning and evenings. Everything you need is nearby. Because you are right down town, this house is central to all kinds of exploring. Day adventures for fishing (Navajo Lake and Animas river), culture (Aztec National Ruins), hiking and biking (Alien trail) and four-wheeling (Dunes Recreational area) are all near by.

Gatherings are welcome but because it is in a residential community “partying” is not acceptable. Please be respectful of our neighbors. There is a casita on the back of the property lot that is a full-time rental. The backyard divides the two houses. The casita has a separate private entrance, so as not to disturb any vacationers during their stay and vice versa.

You can walk to whatever you need in the way of groceries, food and even entertainment. This house is located one block from the main street of Aztec. Driving is easy to navigate. Aztec is a mellow community and easy to find your way around.

You are also close to a lot of other fantastic areas: 40 minutes to the Mountain town of Durango, 1 hour and 15 minutes to Mesa Verde, 25 minutes Navijo Lake State Park, 30 minutes to the wine of the San Juans vineyard, 16 minutes to Tico Time river and festival resort.
