Multiple entrances give you the ultimate freedom to keep spaces wide open, completely closed off, or expanded to suit your evolving vision, all powered by an artesian well. Wild roses, trees, and a grassy, walled courtyard area can be accessed by both residences, one or the other. This property has it all—flexible living, income streams, sand dunes, hot springs, and a relaxed mountain lifestyle. Anchored in local history and poised for its next steward, could that be you?
