161 Old Lamy Trl

Want to rent a piece of southwestern history? This traditional adobe home was built in 1846 and is a short walk to the center of Lamy, NM, which is a secluded, quaint, historic town with less than 200 residents (census 2020) favored by artists, musicians, and other creative types, only 18 miles from Santa Fe. The home has been lovingly maintained, protected, and restored over the years, and features 3-4 bedrooms (4th better as an office space) and two bathrooms, plus a mudroom, a lofted storage area, a living room, a solar-hearted indoor "patio" and an eat-in kitchen. While the home is more than 175 years old, it features modern amenities such as solar energy panels on the roof that provide electricity for the home and newer appliances, as well as a traditional wood-burning fireplace and a propane stove in one of the bedrooms. Appliances include a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and a washer and dryer. Basic internet service is provided through a community co-op. Wifi calling is recommended. Verizon Wireless is the best provider and is the service the current tenants are utilizing for their remote work needs. VOIP is encouraged for phones. The tenant is responsible for water usage fees, PNM Electric charges, trash removal and fees (transfer station located in Eldorado), and propane gas refills. Monthly utility and internet cost information provided upon request. Outside property maintenance of front, side and rear yards is the tenant's responsibility. If no animals are kept in the pasture area, that space can go without maintenance unless the tenant chooses to do so. Additional amenities: This home is perfect for animal lovers! Existing pet doors open to a fenced yard and private pet area. A half-acre pasture is located beyond the yard and features a barn that includes a small tack room. There are two chicken coops which could use some TLC from a handy, chicken-loving tenant. A large garden area is fenced off from the two pastures in the rear of the property. A workshop space equipped with electricity is perfect for crafters, woodworkers, gardeners or makers. (Some of the workshop space is shared storage with the homeowner). This home is a wonderful and peaceful space for anyone looking for a quiet retreat, including remote workers, artists, writers, yogi, and anyone who appreciates the history of the house and the area. Historic and wonderful Santa Fe is only a 25-minute commute away! THIS HOME IS OCCUPIED - DO NOT DISRUPT WITH VISITS. A video tour link can be provided with a completed preliminary application.
