This historic property, nestled on nearly two acres in the heart of the South Valley, offers guests a unique blend of cultural experience and peaceful rest. Originally homesteaded in 1901 by the founding family of the region, the Victorian house now welcomes visitors to explore an on-site art gallery featuring fine oil paintings and diverse artwork available for purchase. The expansive, level back lot is fully gated and fenced, providing a secure and spacious parking area that easily accommodates RVs and larger rigs with plenty of room to maneuver. Guests consistently praise the convenient location, which puts downtown Albuquerque, Old Town, and popular attractions such as the Botanical Gardens, zoo, and aquarium within easy reach—making it ideal for exploring the area without the hassle of city parking and traffic. The property's peaceful setting, enhanced by nearby green space and a charming seating area nestled under mature trees, offers a serene retreat despite the urban proximity. The scenic Bosque trail system is accessible for biking and recreational activities, with many guests enjoying rides along the Rio Grande. Cowgirl, a retired cattle herding dog and beloved property companion, greets guests warmly and roams the grounds as a friendly presence. Visitors also appreciate the responsiveness and welcoming nature of interactions at this location, along with the opportunity to connect with the creative work housed within the gallery. The property strikes a balance between convenient city access and quiet, secure overnight accommodations in a distinctive historic setting.
