Casa Abuela~2 Bedroom Adobe with Cedar Hot Tub: Perfect for Families

Bright and authentic adobe with rustic charm on 5-acre homestead with flowering courtyards, cedar hot tub, disk golf course, arroyo hike, high speed internet, greenhouses, vegetable garden, outdoor dining, gas grill, and mountain views. Your hosts, Jason (brewer/distiller) and Angela (ceramic artist) will have a welcome basket awaiting your arrival with seasonal veggies and flowers from the garden, a sampling of Jason's libations, and you'll enjoy dining on Angela's handmade pottery.

The guest house is a 2 bedroom / 1 bath pueblo style home of 900 square feet (accommodates 4 comfortably in the two bedrooms, but a sofa bed in the living room can sleep another). It offers privacy, with a separate driveway and walled courtyard. We have been gradually updating the guest house, but you will find that it maintains its authentic Santa Fe style and rustic charm. Bright open-plan kitchen / dining room with colorful Mexican tile counters, and wood, brick, and flagstone floors throughout. It is fully furnished, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

The homestead was the first in this neighborhood and was built in the early 1930s. The 5-acre homestead includes three residences. “Casa de Kirkman” is the main house where Jason and Angela live. “Casita de Casey” is a small home on the north side of the property where our caretaker resides, and your home “Casa Abuela” is a separate guesthouse to the south with a private drive and private courtyard. Casa Abuela, was added in the 1950s and originally used as a goat shed. (We hope you’ll agree that we’ve made some improvements since then, though we’ve tried to maintain the property’s original rustic New Mexico charm.)

It has a wood stove in the main bedroom and garden views from the twin bedroom. Comfortable living room for lounging and a full and open kitchen for meal prep and dining. The fully-equipped kitchen is stocked with Angela's handmade pottery.

A cedar hot tub accommodates up to 6 bathers in another secluded courtyard brimming with trumpet vines and sunflowers. Perfect for stargazing or relaxing sore muscles after hiking or skiing on cold winter afternoons or cool summer nights.

The guest house shares a 5-acre property with the main house. The guest house has its own private driveway and walled courtyard. The hot tub is in a separate courtyard between the guest house and the main house, and guests have unlimited private access to this space. The guest house has a shaded portal for grilling and outdoor dining. Guests may explore the property and beyond, the walking trail, gardens and greenhouses.

The homestead is close enough to the plaza for convenience - a seven mile drive - but has privacy and plenty of space. Make yourself at home and feel free to explore the property. There’s a cedar hot tub, a disk golf course, an arroyo trail where you can hike for miles, and a large organic garden with two greenhouses.

We hope you’ll enjoy dining from Angela’s hand-made pottery and sipping one of Jason’s beers, spirits, or cocktails—made with organic ingredients from our garden and juniper berries wild-harvested right here on the property! (If you’d like more of Jason’s intoxicants, visit one of Tumbleroot’s locations in town or you can put an order in on his website and he’d be happy to bring more home to you.) Feel free to check out Angela’s gallery in Santa Fe—either in person or online—to see what else she has in stock. (Paseo Pottery also offers classes if you feel like getting your hands in the mud!)

Angela’s photography throughout the home is from our family’s recent two-year journey around the world. During our Big Field Trip, we hiked the Inca Trail, snuck into a dilapidated communist headquarters in Bulgaria, rode camelback through the Sahara, caught the swine flu in Istanbul, rode a dragon boat up the Perfume River, got chased out of the Grand Mosque of Uqba in Tunisia, lived on a vineyard in Portugal, were robbed at gunpoint in Bahía, taught at a tribal school in Rajasthan, biked through floating markets outside Bangkok, and communed with snow monkeys in the hot springs of Japan. Throughout our travels, we enjoyed lodging with local families, staying off the gringo trail, avoiding hotels at all costs, and generally trying to live like locals. When we returned home to Santa Fe, we decided to open our homestead to fellow travelers who crave a similar type of experience. We look forward to hosting your Santa Fe adventure!

Our property is powered 100% by the sun—because there’s just so much of it here in New Mexico! Caretaker Casey will be on-site to help handle any issues that might arise and to take care of special requests and provide recommendations. Angela and Jason are available by email and phone.

We look forward to hosting you!

~Jason and Angela
