Discover a truly distinctive Southwest retreat just 5 minutes from Downtown Silver City-offering the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and authentic regional charm. This remarkable 3BR/2BA rammed earth and adobe passive solar home was thoughtfully designed to blend timeless craftsmanship with energy efficiency. Office has doubled as an additional bedroom in the past... and additional 1BR/1BA casita is attached and adjoined by a brick courtyard. Inside, warm natural light fills the inviting sunroom, while a dedicated office/library creates an inspiring space to work or unwind beside one of two traditional kiva fireplaces. Rich wood beams, locally sourced from Signal Peak and the Gila River, add striking architectural character throughout the home. Artisan Syzygy tile enhances the bathrooms with beautifully crafted counters and shower surrounds. The spacious kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a double oven and generous workspace. Radiant in-floor heat, powered by a new boiler, provides year-round comfort while complementing the home's passive solar design. Connected by a charming brick courtyard, the adjoining stick-and-stucco guest casita offers exceptional flexibility. Complete with private quarters and a steam shower, it's ideal for guests, multigenerational living, house hacking, or short-term rental income potential. The courtyard is also wired for a hot tub, creating additional opportunity for a private spa-like setting. Outside, beautifully curated Southwest landscaping includes low-maintenance succulent gardens, agave, and native plantings, all surrounded by mature pion, oak, and other established trees. Covered brick patios and inviting outdoor living spaces create the perfect setting to enjoy Silver City's mild climate and peaceful surroundings. A newer durable metal roof adds long-term practicality to this exceptional property. This one-of-a-kind home offers artistry, comfort, and investment versatility-whether you're seeking a full-time residence, private retreat, or income-producing opportunity with true Southwest soul.
