La Crucitas is a huge, restored, 1950 Pueblo style mansion, with a casita, in Santa Fe, NM. 4bds, 3.5ba, 4,258sqft, $4.258m.

This is the biggest adobe house I've ever seen.

Enter a foyer with the cutest little fireplace.

Open concept main living area.

The sitting room area is in front of the fireplace.

Columns and a drop soffit create a separation between the living and dining areas.

From the dining area you enter the kitchen that is raised and has stairs down to the deck.

Also, off to the side of the dining room, the owner is using this space as a studio.

Here's a patio with an outdoor kitchen.

Moving further thru this long home, there's a nice little office.

And, a shower room with mosaic tile.

The primary bedroom is spacious and has access to a patio.

It also has a large bath.

With a separate shower room.

Plus, a walk-in closet.

And, a laundry room.

Going back to the kitchen, the stairs also come down to a TV room, underneath. Note the glass display case.

There's a home office in the corner of the TV room.

Look at the little bed nook.

It also has a stone half bath.

And, a spacious stone suite with a double shower.

And, this is the casita.

It looks like the house is built right on the side of the road and there's a stream running by the property. It's an 0.82 acre lot.

It took the owners from 1970 - 1972 to hand build this home in Alpine, CA. The little "mud hut" has 2bd, 1ba, 800sqft, and they're asking $775k.

The main living area has a closet with 2 shelves and storage under the stairs.

Well, it's kind of a cute open concept main living area. I like the fireplace in the middle.

Very free form sculptural look.

There's not a whole lot of room to sit, though.

The kitchen is right behind the fireplace. The cabinets are interesting, they put a stained glass window over the sink, and the design follows thru the house in tile and lighting. They did a neat job on the mosaics and the flooring.

Look at how the window opens up in the loft.

This room has a step-up and double doors, but if you look at the exterior of the house in front, there's no terrace above the door.

Both bedrooms are separated by what I think could be the bathroom.

The single bath has a nicely curved cabinet and good storage.

Lots of mosaics. The entire shower, wall, and counter are all hand done.

Tiny decorative window. It looks like they made the matching metal embellishments themselves.

The door by the stairs opens to this room. Look at how nice it is- a small area for sitting and shelving make a mini library. Or, you could maybe fit a small desk where the chairs are.

It has 2 steps down, but the area is very small. I don't think that you could get a bed in here, but the mosaic floor is lovely and there are doors that open. Of course, I think that it would make a great little studio.

Isn't it beautiful lit up at night? The light is, according to the listing, .5 to 1 acre, which is quite a range, unless the lot is irregular.

Here's a very unusual property. It's a 1992 estate in Taos, NM, a single family residence, but with 2 buildings, very different in style. The 2 buildings offer a lot of flexibility. 4bds, 3ba, 7,030sqft, $2.5m. This is such a lovely property. Look at this.

First you have an Adobe Taos style, main house.

It has the terra cotta floors, log beams, and Mexican style. '

Step out onto a lovely covered deck outside the living room.

Beautiful curved cabinetry is fitted into the sculpted adobe peninsula.

Lovely primary bedroom. Look at the molding on the doorway and the stained glass.

Beautiful tile in the bathroom.

Here's a lovely private deck with stairs that go up to a rooftop deck.

Options.

Beautiful views.

This is the 2nd bedroom in the house. Both the main house and the guest house have 2 bds. each. Love the built-ins.

Then, look at this magnificent room down on the ground floor.

Isn't this an amazing flex-space? Look at the size of those tree trunk columns. The light fixtures look like they're architectural salvage from a church.

Now, let's go to the guest house, which the listing describes as Victorian style. This is pretty.

Oh, look, it's a little goth-y, too. So, it has a kitchenette.

And, it also has a large bedroom with seating, a desk, and table. Look at the churchy stained glass goth windows.

So, that's the guest space. Then, there's this huge shop/studio space for the owner.

And, look at this wonderful room. It's like a little pavilion.

This building is so flexible. This nice room has a skylight.

And, here's a larger living space. This could be a business, a guest suite, a studio, or a rental.

It would make a cool antique shop.

The grounds are gorgeous. Look at this water feature.

Beautiful patio. This 1.66 acre property has so much to offer.

It's all about the tile in this 1920 Mexican style home in Santa Fe, NM. 4bds, 3ba, 2,374 sq ft, $1.95m.

The front door opens into a lovely large living room.

What a great idea- to give the fireplace colorful accents, they used metal rods painted teal.

Beautiful dining room off the living room has doors to the covered patio.

The vintage kitchen has colorful Mexican tile counters and backsplash. Even the kick plate under the cabinets is tiled.

Covered patio off the dining room.

Look at those carved doors.

Gorgeous Mexican tile in the ensuite. Even the tub is tiled.

Bedroom #2 has the same ensuite, but tiled in a pretty blue pattern.

There are two, 2bd. homes on separately deeded properties. This is house #2.

It has a nice living room.

Dining area.

And a roomy kitchen with such cute, cheery tile.

Bedroom #1 has beautiful doors and built-in shelving.

Check out the tile in the bath.

This house has a lower level.

Bedroom #2 is down here.

This house has its own covered patio, also.

Nice piece of property with income.

The neighborhood has all the same style homes. .30 acre lot.

Unusually large 2007 Pueblo style Adobe House in Taos, NM. 3bds,4ba, 3,343sqft, just reduced $95k to $1.1m.

The entrance hall is ginormous and even has a fireplace. I imagine that this space would be set up as a sunroom.

Look at the size of the main living area. I have never seen a Taos home like this. This room is 2 stories high. It's huge.

In the ceiling, there's an octagonal skylight and you can see a glimpse of a balcony in the upper right corner.

A triple wide case opening with columns leads into the kitchen.

From the kitchen you can see the fireplace wall and the entrance doors.

The giant kitchen has an iron gate to the rest of the house.

What a widespread layout.

Here are double ovens in the wall and lots of open shelving.

The primary bedroom has a Mexican style fireplace and doors to the patio.

Wide case opening to the ensuite bath. All the rooms in this house are so over-sized.

Very large walk-in closet.

Looks like some sort of storage cabinets in the hallway.

They have one of those clear vacuum powered elevators in what looks like, maybe a home office.

Here's another bedroom with built-in furniture and beds in arched alcoves.

This looks like a closet area.

Doors open to the balcony we saw downstairs, overlooking the main room.

Looking down from the balcony.

Here's a large rooftop deck.

And, down on the ground, there's a large flagstone patio.

Very large, very odd layout.

The garage has lots of storage.

0.35 acres.

Beautiful colorful 1920 hacienda in Santa Fe, NM. 2bds, 2ba, $1.199M.

Enter the main living area from the main hall.

Nice fireplace. I like that it's raised.

Colorful tile feature wall. Look at the shells surrounding the firelplace opening.

The dining area has a beautiful built-in seat and walls. Love the lighting.

Then comes the very colorful kitchen.

Typically colorfully tiled counters.

Another view. There's some more seating by the kitchen area.

Isn't this a wonderful bedroom? Beautiful elevated sleeping space with colorful tile floor.

Then step down into this amazing en-suite.

This this would be the primary bedroom. Look at how nice the paint looks with the scalloped ceiling.

The vibrant bath. This home is just bursting with color and Santa Fe style.

A wall surrounds the yard. Stunning fountain.

The patio is lovely and it's low maintenance.

4,356 sq ft lot The price was reduced by $26K to $1.199M, but I still think it's kind of over priced for a fairly small home.

Wow, my adobe hut post hasn't been sold and has been on the market for 394 days! Built in 2008, it has 1bd, 1ba, $237K.

Maybe it's too disjointed. I don't know, why it's not selling. It's cheap enough for a vacation house. Anyway, here's an outdoor kitchen and dining area.

It has an odd layout- some of the rooms are in separate buildings.

The living room is in this hut and it's joined to one other room.

There's a pretty tile shower room.

And, that's it for this building- out the back door you go.

To the blue dome.

Which is a bedroom. Doesn't look finished, though.

I think that the double door structure next to the blue dome houses toilets.

Here in the back is an outdoor vintage tub.

In this dome is a kitchen.

And, a sleep nook.

Details of the ceiling.

Some sort of a workshop/kitchen.

I guess that's the water tank.

Solar panels.

17.93 acres of land.

The home has a name- Ransom Ranch. Sounds ominous.
