Residenza Unifamiliare A Dixon

A Storybook Riverside Sanctuary in the Heart of Historic Dixon ~ Tucked at the end of a long driveway, this modern Southwestern solar passive estate is a literal storybook sanctuary in Dixon. As you head onto the property, you first pass two income-producing casitas, a newly constructed structural shell with a classic portal ready for the next owner’s finishing touches, and a lush orchard nourished by a 400-year-old acequia system before reaching the main residence. Built with frame and pumice for exceptional insulation that keeps the house naturally warm in the winter and cool in the summer, the home opens through a bright sunroom directly into a stunning open living space. Here, a sloped ceiling with classic vigas and tongue-and-groove decking complements authentic Southwestern nichos and a traditional rounded kiva fireplace positioned right across from custom built-in shelving. The vibrant kitchen features butcher-block countertops, ample cabinetry, and a door opening directly to the backyard. Outside, you’ll find a detached covered portal perfect for relaxing and BBQing, alongside fenced gardens with raised beds and numerous fenced-in areas set up for raising livestock. Back inside, rich Talavera tile archways guide you to a convenient laundry area, a downstairs bathroom, and a bedroom, while another flexible bedroom tucked off the entry serves as an ideal yoga or music studio. The second floor is dedicated to the primary suite, which includes air conditioning, an ADA-updated European-style bathroom, a spacious walk-in closet, and an adjoining bonus room perfect for a private exercise or meditation space—all while offering sweeping views of the front pasture. Just a short walk from the backyard gardens down to Embudo Creek, a cool little RV with a private deck rests right on the water, giving you a prime spot to cast a line for trout. Living here puts you just a short stroll from downtown staples like Zuly’s Cafe, the Dixon Cooperative Market, and the award-winning Embudo Valley Library. Positioned as a direct outlet to the historic High Road to Taos and situated in New Mexico’s oldest winemaking region—just a half-mile from renowned vineyards like Vivác and La Chiripada—this property delivers unparalleled Northern New Mexico living with convenient transit options like the nearby Blue Bus stop. Some photos of the newly built structure have been virtually altered to spark creativity. Come walk the banks of Embudo Creek, take in the beauty of these century-old agricultural roots, and see for yourself why this estate is the ultimate setting to write your next chapter.
