1182 ESF GARAGE/SHOP is the main thing you need to know. AND an attached 2-car garage. AND room for horses & livestock. But we digress... Perched high above the valley in the peaceful mountain hamlet of Chihuahua Valley, this newly remodeled rural retreat sits on 4.6 flat, cleared, and completely usable acres. Designed with fire safety and peak energy efficiency in mind, the main residence features top-tier block and concrete masonry construction, which can significantly lower typical fire insurance costs to roughly one-third of the normal price. Modern, functional, and highly livable, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom main house boasts a freshly updated interior with brand-new appliances, a whole-house water filtration system, a 3-year-new AC/furnace, and a water heater less than 2 years old. High-speed Starlink internet and a cell signal booster are already fully installed and ready for use. Beyond the attached 2-car garage, the property includes a massive detached accessory shop building equipped with power, sewer, water, a dedicated office space, a half bathroom, and a 4-car garage capacity. An additional second pad is already cleared and prepared on-site, offering the perfect footprint for a future ADU, guest house, or horse barn. Water is the region's most precious natural resource, and this property features an exceptional private well. Reaching a depth of 225 feet, it yields an impressive 20 gallons per minute (per drilling report) and feeds into two 4,000-gallon storage tanks.Located in a premier, active horse community with equestrian facilities in every direction, the property is fully fenced, featuring specialized snake-proof fencing directly surrounding the home for total peace of mind. The exterior landscape is anchored by a gorgeous weeping willow centered in the driveway and a front orchard bursting with fruit trees (3 apple, 3 apricot, 3 peach, and 2 nectarine). Enjoy direct backyard access to BLM land and endless off-road trails, watch spectacular SpaceX launches clearly from your own backyard, and take in the beauty of seasonal winter snow. This is the ultimate mountain-valley escape.
