This property is listed under the Southwest Multiple Listing Service under MLS#'s 612505 and 612528   La Hacienda Grande Bed and Breakfast Gallegos-Montoya Adobe   La Hacienda Grande is located in the unincorporated area of Sandoval County, New Mexico. It is currently registered as a commercial property which can be applied for again or converted to a multi-family unit.   The building itself is located on approximately 1 acre. There are an additional 1.8 acres included in the property price.   La Hacienda and the owners’ quarters use a fully capable septic system which includes a leach field located past the owners’ quarters, encompassing a 75’ x 75’ foot area. The New Mexico Environmental Department has given preliminary verbal approval that if re-platted the additional 1.8 acres could support a 4 bedroom/2 bath home or commercial building of commensurate size.   La Hacienda is serviced by a well which is located in the courtyard and is protected by an adobe structure. The well is approximately 50 feet in depth with an output at 42 PSI. This well provides all the potable water for La Hacienda, the owners’ quarters and the public bathroom. The property does carry water and irrigation rights.   To the west of the property line is Bureau of Land Management land and Santa Ana Pueblo land. Neither of these entities is likely to be developed.   To the south of the property are 6 acres of agricultural land being farmed in alfalfa by a local family.   Less than a mile to the west of the property is a canal which runs adjacent to the Rio Grande River and is an easy jaunt from La Hacienda. On the other side of the river are the Tiguex Pueblo ruins, also known as the Coronado Monument. Pottery shards are often found on the property.   The large cottonwood tree that sits on the open 1.5 acres has been estimated to be approximately 200 years old. It is known to be a male tree and has a wonderful “open air” feel underneath which would make an excellent party area that could hold approximately 8 60-inch round tables. This area is reminiscent of the party tree in the book “The Hobbit”.   The property is currently serving as a commercial property bed and breakfast with a courtyard that accommodates 100 guests for events such as weddings and receptions. Weddings can also be performed in the area out in front of La Hacienda.   La Hacienda is in the process of being listed on the National Register of American Buildings.   The home was built around 1725. All but two of the rooms (Sandia and Santa Clara) have wooden doors that open into each other which is the typical style in which the Spanish built most of their fort-style homes. The east rooms (Santa Clara, Sandia and Cochiti) are at a lower level with a step down. Several reasons for the step down were: 1. To facilitate air flow and keep down the dust from the dirt floors. 2.    As a defensive measure (an enemy entering the room would not know the step was there and possibly trip). 3.    General circulation of air throughout. Most evidence shows that the four outside walls and the east set of rooms were completed by 1730.   The pump house is constructed of true adobe and is the only wall that has been left untouched with stucco and has its original mudding.   Each room is uniquely different in size and shape because of its Spanish fort-style adobe architecture. It was modified somewhat in 1993 when it was converted into a bed and breakfast, but it still retains its historic significance to Bernalillo and to the Llanto as well.   All original pictures will convey with the property, as will the 1964 elevations done by Professor Paul Graham, the newer elevations done in 2008, and all the history to date which includes the application for Historic Registry.   Building Details   -Exterior wall cover: true stucco -Roof: flat roof with a poly membrane over insulation and built up with tar and gravel -Foundation: concrete up to 6” above ground and 24” below ground -Windows: territorial style wood frame windows with divided light -Window glazing: double Thermo pane -Doors: interior and exterior solid wood doors with the exception of one French door -Exterior wall: adobe block with an average thickness of 24” -Interior walls: adobe bearing walls with wood lath and plaster overlay with hand-troweled plaster covering -Cooling: evaporative/swamp cooler with insulated ductwork running across the roof -Heating: two large Rheem furnaces (one in the kitchen area and one in the small entrance area near Cochiti) with adjustable timer controls -Water heaters: 4 Craftsman brand (1. between kitchen and San Felipe, 2. at Santa Clara in pump house, 3. in small entrance area near Cochiti, 4. in closet at Zuni entrance)   Place a Bid!
