High on a ridge in the timeless village of Truchas, this enchanting property is a writer’s dream—a retreat that beckons those seeking inspiration, solitude, and connection to a nearly forgotten world. Established in 1754 as Nuestra Señora del Rosario, San Fernando y Santiago del Rio de las Truchas, ...this Spanish land grant village has weathered centuries in serene isolation, named for the trout-filled river that sustains its fertile lands. Here, 8,000 feet above sea level, life slows to a tranquil rhythm, offering you a place to dwell in the past while writing your future.The property includes the iconic "Old Truchas Church," a beautifully preserved adobe landmark, one of the most beloved and photographed sites in Truchas. With its original mud walls, earth floors, and storied vigas, it’s a rustic and warm space bathed in natural light from skylights and dormers. Once a two-room schoolhouse, this historic adobe now serves as a cozy living space, its handcrafted Spanish door opening to a private, fenced yard with breathtaking views of the towering 13,108-foot Truchas Peaks—the second tallest mountain in New Mexico. Every corner of this property holds a sense of place and purpose, preserving its quiet dignity and historic charm. For the writer seeking escape, the artist looking to reconnect, or the dreamer yearning for a home as untouched by time as Truchas itself, this property is a window into New Mexico’s heart—a place to live and create, surrounded by the spirit of centuries past and the undisturbed beauty of the landscape. This property has no indoor plumbing, bathrooms or kitchen area in the church. Your vision of working within it will need to happen.
