Enchanting artist's cottage located near the top of the scenic High Road in the mountain village of Llano San Juan. The property is situated between a year round acequia and the Rio Chiquito, with spectacular views of Jicarita Peak and the verdant surrounding valley. This classic Adobe is filled with creative touches and rustic charm. The entry sunroom is bright, with large South facing windows and the passive solar design helps the front rooms stay warm and cozy. Opposite the bank of windows are the thick curved adobe walls with wood detailing. The nearby kitchen has gorgeous ceilings with beams salvaged from a long ago forest fire, handmade cabinets and shelving, with stained glass accents in obscure places that allow colors to dance on the walls. The highlight is the antique Woodbine cast iron cookstove from the late 1800s. In the living room, muted light from deep set windows gives coziness to the wood ceilings, built-in cabinetry, and wood floors. Upstairs the tall pitched ceilings and dormer windows overlook the lush valley. A large storage room is at the end of the hall. The versatile floorplan has a downstairs bedroom with attached exercise room, a bathroom full of colorful talavera tile, and an attached sunny painting studio with separate entrance. The 1.5 acre property has tall poplars and many fruit trees, with shady places for cool contemplation. The property has ditch rights from the year-round acequia.
