A Southwestern home offering vast views of New Mexico sunsets and desert hills is on the market in Las Cruces 鈥� but the scenery isn鈥檛 the only head turner.

What sets this adobe Las Cruces home apart: Well, it鈥檚 pink.

鈥淚t鈥檚 as rare as it can come,鈥� said Keller Williams Realty broker Michael Maynes. Pink properties aren鈥檛 built as frequently as they were in the 1990s, when the home was built, Maynes said.

Owner Linda Smiggen, a retired teacher, said she wouldn鈥檛 necessarily describe the home as pink; she says it鈥檚 a rusty New Mexico hue that鈥檚 hard to describe. 

Smiggen listed the $590,000 home in November, three decades after custom-building it with her late partner, Las Cruces homebuilder Eddie Chavez. The 2,859-square-foot dwelling is situated among desert hills in the Las Alturas neighborhood at 4445 Echo Canyon. 

The two-story home comes with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a three-car garage and a pool and hot tub. It features a Pueblo Revival style with design elements including high ceilings, exposed vigas and a kiva fireplace.

The home blends Southwestern craftsmanship with character, comfort and charm, capturing what the describes as 鈥渢he essence of New Mexico living.鈥�

Chavez, a Las Cruces native who died in 2011, handcrafted the home with Smiggen in 1995. Chavez was one of the first builders to bring pueblo-style homes to Las Cruces, according to Chavez鈥檚 .

He learned the craft from his grandfather and personal research, and later opened several of his own building companies. Smiggen estimates Chavez built more than 300 homes across Las Cruces.

鈥淗is homes are welcoming,鈥� Smiggen said. 鈥淭hey just have a warm feel.鈥�

Chavez approached home design in a unique way, Smiggen said. He would look for empty plots of land with good views before grabbing a big stick and drawing invisible lines in the air, envisioning what different home angles would look like on the horizon. 

鈥淗e鈥檇 look where you could get the view and get the feel of the land and then go back and start working on plans,鈥� Smiggen said.

Daylight views aren鈥檛 all the home offers.

With no street lights or rear neighbors, the home also showcases dark starry night skies not found in the city, despite being only five minutes from New Mexico State University and the 近距离内射合集 Golf Course. Bunnies, birds and quail are frequent visitors, Smiggen said. 

Smiggen ultimately decided to list the home because it needs a little more upkeep and a few more projects than she is capable of putting into it, she said.

Smiggen said she hopes someone who appreciates true Southwest living sees the home鈥檚 potential.

鈥淚t鈥檚 quiet and peaceful,鈥� Smiggen said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really special house.鈥�
