PENASCO AREA (29B)

An Inspired Truchas Retreat — Where Art, Light, and Landscape Become One Set beneath the dramatic rise of the Truchas Peaks and positioned along the heart of this storied mountain village, this remarkable property offers far more than a home—it is a place to create, to gather, and to live surrounded by inspiration. A rare blend of residence, gallery, and working studio, this multilevel retreat invites a life shaped by beauty and imagination. At its core is a light-filled creative space—currently a successful gallery and studio—where soaring vigas and latillas frame an atmosphere designed for artistic expression. Whether continuing its legacy as a gallery, hosting workshops, or evolving into a deeply personal studio retreat, this space adapts effortlessly to your vision. A detached guesthouse with one bedroom and one bathroom, adds flexibility for visitors, collaborators, or quiet retreat. The main home with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, carries its own quiet magic. A thoughtful split-level design captures passive solar warmth, while original adobe walls echo the history and craftsmanship of Northern New Mexico. Antique longleaf pine doors lend warmth and authenticity, while modern comforts—including a wood stove, whole-house inline water filtration system, and generous storage - support everyday ease. Every window becomes a canvas, with sweeping views stretching across the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges - sunrises and sunsets unfolding as daily works of art. Additional spaces, including a dedicated workshop, provide room to build, explore, and create. This is a property that invites possibility - equally suited to painters, sculptors, makers, or anyone drawn to a life of creativity in an extraordinary setting. Beyond the property, Truchas offers a rich connection to Northern New Mexico’s cultural and natural treasures. Ideally located within roughly an hour of Santa Fe, Taos, and Los Alamos, you’ll also enjoy access to destinations like Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs, Santuario de Chimayo, Bandelier National Monument, Santa Fe Opera, and Ghost Ranch - along with multiple nearby ski areas. For those seeking a place where art, architecture, and landscape exist in harmony, this is more than a property—it is an experience waiting to be continued. A 3D interior tour and exterior drone video are available, offering a true sense of the setting before you ever arrive.
