This unique adobe home boasts an intriguing backstory. Constructed as a “bounty house” following the Civil War, it offered soldiers free land in exchange for building a house of a specified minimum size. The centerpiece of this residence is the bounty house, a spacious living room featuring a wooden floor and soaring ceiling adorned with vigas and latillas. At one end, a vibrant red enamel gas stove adds a pop of color, while a built-in bookcase near the entrance and charming Mexican light fixtures create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Realtor Comments
The rest of the house was built onto this structure later and includes a bathroom with walk-in tub, a laundry area, and a large homey kitchen downstairs. The kitchen has a large 5-burner gas stove and large matching refrigerator and freezer. A spiral staircase leads upstairs to the bedroom, which has bathroom facilities in it (sink, toilet, and claw-foot tub), and a walk-in closet. The lot is 0.29 acres, green and lush and graced with large old trees. There is a large storage shed with slab floor and a couple of patios off the house. The whole property is walled or fenced, and there is an electric gate. Truly a special property.
