The overall property is a half-acre; lush and serene home + casita nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Albuquerque's highly sought-after North Valley. Originally the home of a local author, the property offers an inspiring setting filled with natural light, privacy, and peaceful surroundings making it easy to see why this tranquil retreat once served as a creative sanctuary.

Located just steps from the scenic trails along the Rio Grande bosque, and surrounded by very few neighboring homes, this private compound offers exceptional seclusion and abundant outdoor recreation. Each unit features its own patio space and access to a large, shared lawn surrounded by mature, beautifully maintained landscaping.

Despite the peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located less than a mile from the historic charm, restaurants, and galleries of Old Town Albuquerque, with shops and dining along nearby Rio Grande Boulevard.

This furnished rental is well suited for travel nurses, film professionals, remote workers, and families seeking a quiet and comfortable extended stay in Albuquerque. Major hospitals, downtown, and film production areas are all within a short drive.

Seasonally, geese and sandhill cranes can be seen overhead, with additional wildlife viewing and scenic trails at nearby Rio Grande Nature Center State Park just minutes away on foot or by bike.

The heart of the main home is a historic adobe with beautiful original wood vigas and tongue-and-groove ceilings. The charming casita maintains the same timeless New Mexico style, creating a warm and peaceful North Valley retreat.
