Middle of nowhere? No way! This house is in the middle of everywhere! A half hour’s drive from Alamosa, home of Adams State University and its beautiful campus, Walmart, and many restaurants. Wolf Creek Pass and Pagosa Springs to the west. Los Alamos and the Manhattan Project (Oppenheimer sites), Santa Fe (old town, capitol, cathedral, Miraculous Staircase, oldest church in America), and Taos to the south. Manassa Mauler Jack Dempsey (World Heavyweight Champion 1919-1926) birthplace and small museum only a mile east in Manassa, and outdoor Stations of the Cross with adobe chapel and Walk of the Martyrs (priests martyred during Mexico’s civil war) farther east in San Luis. Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve to the north. Hit the Dunes early in the day before the thunderstorms build. Atop a 700’ dune is not where you want to be amid lightning.
We had five adults in the spacious, spread-out home and could have slept more. The kitchen has excellent appliances and enough equipment and service to put on a feed for twenty or more. The main level living room, bathed in natural light, is perfect for visiting, games, crocheting, and reading. In the loft is a huge couch and television where we could sign into our Peacock and Netflix accounts. Wifi is strong except in the master where adobe walls diminish the full signal.
The lawn is a great place to play catch. The gas grill was a little wobbly (probably knocked over by wind at some point), but we propped it up and grilled steaks. St
