Description
An Artist’s Dream Retreat in Truchas – A Gallery, Studio & Mountain Sanctuary! At the foot of the towering Truchas Peaks, along the main road of this historic village, lies a truly extraordinary property—a home, a gallery, and a creative sanctuary, all in one. This multilevel mountain retreat is a masterpiece of character and craftsmanship, where art and nature converge in perfect harmony. Designed with an artist’s soul in mind, the property features a detached guesthouse and a thriving art gallery and working studio. Bathed in natural light, with traditional vigas and latillas overhead, this inspiring space is perfect for showcasing work, hosting exhibitions, or cultivating creative energy. Whether continuing its legacy as a gallery or transforming it into a personal retreat, the possibilities are endless. The main residence is equally enchanting - a split-level design that embraces passive solar warmth, highlighted by original adobe walls that tell the story of its rich past. Century-old longleaf pine doors add rustic charm, while a cozy woodstove, whole-house inline water filtration system, and ample storage, provide comfort and convenience. Large windows frame breathtaking views of the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountain ranges, making every sunrise and sunset a work of art in itself. With a workshop for hands-on projects and multiple flexible spaces, this home is a true artist’s retreat—ideal for painters, sculptors, or creatives seeking inspiration in one of New Mexico’s most beautiful landscapes. Beyond your own artistic haven, the location offers a rich cultural and natural experience—just an hour from Santa Fe, Taos, and Los Alamos, with easy access to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs, the Sanctuario de Chimayó, Bandelier National Monument, the Santa Fe Opera, Ghost Ranch, and multiple ski resorts. Whether you are looking to create, curate, or simply immerse yourself in the beauty of the high desert, this one-of-a-kind property is a masterpiece waiting for its next artist-in-residence. There is a 3D interior video tour and exterior drone video available to give you the full experience of this property, before even seeing this wonder in person.
