This recently remodeled home is located in the Historic Old West town of Cimarron New Mexico next to the expansive Vermeho Park Ranch.  It is just up the road from the famous St. James Hotel.  Premier trout fishing, Angel Fire Ski Resort and Red River NM are all within an  hour or less.  Taos NM is a little over and hour drive to the west.

ACREAGE

1.23 +/- deeded acres.

The open living room has expansive views of the neighboring pond, mountains, the valley and the Cimarron River.  The exposed ceiling and beams adds grandeur to the home.  The inviting window seat offers views that are breathtaking and serene.  There is a wood burning insert for added warmth, built in bookcase and custom entertainment center.  The interior walls are all plaster.  The bedrooms are spacious as is the entryway.  Some of the other features to this fine home are a Jacuzzi tub, glass block walls, large walk in shower, radiant heat tiled bathroom floor and a custom bathroom sink.  The outside landscape is done in southwest xeriscape with some drip irrigation, a lengthy custom adobe wall.  The two private patios offer a quiet place to sit.  There is a matching style tree house that mimics the home for the adventure of the younger guests.  The house has a metal roof with seamless gutters. 

Guest/Garage/Laundry/RV/Shop Complex approximately 1,104 sq. ft. Built in 2001.  The guest quarters are spacious and open to a flagstone patio.  A sitting area & bathroom are included along with the vistas.  There is a shop area, laundry room and garage bay.  The garage has a RV bay and hookup.  The RV bay door is a handmade  custom door.  The complex is in the same Northern New Mexico Mountain style of the main house.

The property is on Cimarron city water.  Natural gas and electricity is provided by Zia natural Gas and Springer coop. repspectively.  There is a septic system.  Cable television along with satellite is available.  High speed Internet is being updated to DSL and is available through satellite.

The approximate elevation is 6,400 ft.  The lot is gently sloping overlooking the Cimarron River.  The views are amazing with the mountains to the West.  "Baldy Mountain'' (New Mexico's 2nd tallest peak) may be seen to the west and the "Tooth of Time", a landmark to the early pioneers may be seen to the Southwest.

The inviting driveway flows down about 1,000 feet from the highway to a white split rail fence that surrounds the home and  corrals.  A serene pasture sits in front of the home.  A pathway and road behind the home leads you over East Fork Chicorica Creek (a natural transition zone) to a spacious pasture  then the terrain drops down to a  wonderful back country area with large growth cottonwood trees and the second creek meandering casually  through this area. This is the perfect spot for viewing habitat and gazing upon the mountains and mesas.  One anticipates perhaps seeing any large mammal species of the Rocky Mountain ecosystem at any time in this area.  The rich dark soil supports a strong turf and would be suitable for additional plantings. 

Summers are cool enough to be more comfortable than lower elevations of New Mexico.  The rainy season is usually from mid June to September.    Average total precipitation is approximately 16 inches. 

Cimarron has a wonderful school system offering K through 12.  It is rated very high and has achieved the AYD (Adequately Yearly Progress) reports on a regular basis.

This is a beautiful well appointed, nicely remodeled home, with wonderful views and lots of privacy.  The hardwood floors throughout the home originated from the old Dawson Town school gymnasium.  The location is wonderful, just a short walk from the historic Cimarron Old Town area, including the St. James Hotel and the Old Mill Museum.  This is a unique and well priced piece of property.
