Land with Home for Sale in Jemez Springs, New Mexico
976 Vallecitos Rd, Jemez Springs, NM 87025
Designed by acclaimed architect Michael McGuire, a pioneer of sustainable, site-responsive architecture, this extraordinary mountain retreat reflects his philosophy of building in harmony with the natural landscape. A rare example of Organic Modern architecture in Northern New Mexico, the home combines straw bale construction, passive solar design, exposed timber trusses, soaring corrugated metal ceilings, and expansive walls of glass framing breathtaking mountain views and filling the home with natural light. Tucked into 29 pristine acres in the heart of the Jemez Mountains, the residence offers an exceptional blend of sustainable design, modern craftsmanship, and natural beauty. The dramatic main living area features soaring corrugated metal ceilings, exposed timber trusses, polished concrete floors, a striking stone fireplace, and expansive sliding glass doors connecting the interior to the surrounding landscape. Designed for gathering, the spacious kitchen showcases handcrafted butcher block countertops, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and an iconic Aga range flowing into the dining and living areas. The private primary suite offers direct outdoor access, tranquil forest views, and a spa-inspired bath with Scandinavian-inspired finishes and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms include a charming loft-style guest room. The flexible lower-level guest quarters, with a private entrance, living area, bedroom, and remodeled bath, are ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a creative retreat. A finished basement and detached studio provide even more flexibility. Outside, open meadows, towering pines, dramatic rock outcroppings, and exceptional privacy define the landscape. A detached cabin, unfinished horse stable, and multiple building sites enhance the property's versatility. Located minutes from the Jemez National Recreation Area, this one-of-a-kind mountain estate offers exceptional hiking, fishing, riding, and outdoor recreation.
