16 Chaparral Rd, Placitas, NM 87043
REFRIGERATED AIR, SANDIA MOUNTAIN VIEWS, DETACHED ARTIST STUDIO + NEWER ROOF! Seller is offering a $5,000 buyer credit toward allowable closing costs--giving you more flexibility and less cash needed at closing. Set in desirable Ranchos de Placitas, this distinctive New Mexico home pairs authentic Southwestern character with meaningful updates and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Recent improvements include a silicone roof completed in April 2026 with a transferable warranty and a water heater approximately one year old. Inside, the character is unmistakably New Mexico. Exposed vigas, tongue-and-groove ceilings, warm brick floors, handcrafted tile, and artisan details bring texture and warmth throughout the home, while refrigerated air provides modern comfort during the warmer months. The Sandia Mountains create a striking backdrop, with generous patios designed to take full advantage of the views, colorful skies, abundant wildlife, and peaceful Placitas setting. From quiet mornings outside to sunset dinners and evenings under the stars, the outdoor spaces are an extension of the home. A standout feature is the spacious detached artist studio/workshop with electricity and water--a rare and versatile bonus for an artist, maker, hobbyist, home office, fitness space, or creative retreat. The studio is not currently heated or cooled. Thoughtful updates, distinctive architecture, flexible bonus space, and sweeping mountain views come together in a property that captures what makes living in Placitas so special. Authentic, inviting, and full of character, this is New Mexico living with a point of view.
