Some properties just feel like New Mexico the moment you pull in. 61 County Road 141 #A in Medanales is one of them: a newly remodeled, authentic adobe home on 1.96 acres, with sweeping mountain views in every direction. It’s listed at $475,000, and it’s ready for its next owners.
Tucked into the Rio Chama Valley along the road to Abiquiu, this is the kind of place people dream about when they picture life in Northern New Mexico. Wide skies, quiet mornings, and room to spread out, with Santa Fe still within driving reach.
A True Adobe, Thoughtfully Renewed
This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,621 square feet in a one-story layout, and the remodel has been done with care.
A brand-new metal Pro-Panel roof and fresh stucco are among the home’s recent improvements, combining a refreshed exterior with its traditional adobe character.
Inside, the standout feature is the diamond plaster walls. This hand-troweled finish has a smooth, subtly polished surface that catches the light and gives every room a soft, timeless glow.
It pairs beautifully with the thick adobe construction, which can help moderate indoor temperatures through hot summer days and cold valley nights.
The kitchen features a gas cooktop and range/oven, and the home is heated with electric and propane forced air, with refrigerated central cooling for summer.
It’s vacant, move-in ready, and easy to show.
Room for Every Rig, Pet, and Piece of Gear
The 1.96 acres are where this property really shines. It’s set up for people who enjoy spending time outdoors and appreciate having space for their equipment and hobbies.
- Three RV pads with full hookups, offering flexibility for RV owners and visiting guests
- A fenced garden for growing your own chile, tomatoes, and herbs in the valley sun
- A dog run so your four-legged crew has space to roam
- A detached two-car garage for vehicles, a workshop, or extra storage
- A storage shed for tools, bikes, kayaks, and gear
With parking for five, there’s plenty of space for vehicles, trailers, and guests.
The property is served by a private well and septic system, and there’s no HOA, an appealing feature for buyers looking for more flexibility in Northern New Mexico. As with any property, specific uses remain subject to applicable local requirements.
Your Northern New Mexico Basecamp
Medanales sits in one of the most beautiful stretches of the state, surrounded by the red-rock and river country that has inspired artists for generations.
From here, adventure is within reach in several directions:
- Abiquiu Lake offers boating, fishing, and other water recreation when conditions permit.
- Valles Caldera National Preserve offers hiking, wildlife viewing, and wide-open mountain meadows.
- Santa Fe and Los Alamos are within driving reach for dining, culture, shopping, and work, with travel times depending on route and conditions.
It’s the kind of property that could work as a peaceful full-time home, a weekend retreat, or a basecamp for exploring Northern New Mexico.
