Description
Step into a rare piece of Northern New Mexico history at 11 St. Joseph Drive in Montezuma, where timeless character meets modern comfort. Believed to date back to the late 1800s, with additions between 1950 and 1980, and then beautifully remodeled in 2021, this distinctive 1,270-square-foot single-story home was once the residence of the local ice cutter, and it showcases a unique blend of adobe, log, stone, and frame construction, all finished with classic stucco charm. Rich with warmth and authenticity, this historic home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, (1 full and 1 3/4) and a flexible studio/office space, ideal for remote work, creative pursuits, or guest accommodations. The inviting living room features original wood flooring, preserving the home’s historic appeal, while the remainder of the residence has been thoughtfully updated with luxury vinyl flooring for durability and modern style. The laundry room features practical coated concrete flooring. Comfort and efficiency continue with a durable pro-panel metal roof, slab-on-grade foundation, and electric baseboard and wall heating. A convenient carport adds everyday functionality. Located 12 minutes from Las Vegas, and 15 minutes from I-25, in the scenic and historic community of Montezuma, the property sits on a hillside at the mouth of the Gallinas Canyon, which is an easy walk to the Montezuma Hot Springs and the United World College. This remarkable home offers the perfect balance of historic craftsmanship and contemporary updates—an uncommon opportunity to own or enjoy a thoughtfully restored New Mexico treasure. Property contiguous with two others individually listed residential properties and all could be purchased together: 2 El Paraiso Drive (Guesthouse or GH), 4 El Paraiso Drive (Uphill House or UHH), 11 St. Joseph Drive (Casa Vieja or CV). All titles are good and free and clear of any encumbrances, with all taxes current.
