    About this Property

    El Caracol Court | 34 State Road 503 is a truly distinctive riverfront property located along the Rio Nambe in the lush Nambe Valley. Designed by renowned local architect Allen L. McNown, a University of Oregon trained architect who settled in Pojoaque in the 1950s and became known for his contemporary adobe work with undulating forms and tinted-light interiors, including the modern church at Namb Pueblo. The home combines artistic design, functionality, and nature in an extraordinary way. Its form is inspired by the spiral geometry of a nautilus shell, a motif McNown used in other celebrated "snail" houses in the valley, and this architectural concept defines a flowing interior that celebrates light, water, and organic space. Set on approximately 2.10 acres, the property is fully fenced and offers both privacy and usability. It benefits from surface water rights off the Rio Nambe as well as a shared well, providing flexibility for landscaping and irrigation. The grounds include mature trees, gardens, a swimming pool, storage shed, and a separate workshop--a combination rarely found in this corridor.The residence itself measures roughly 4,000 square feet with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Key design features include adobe and frame construction, dramatic curving walls, exposed wood beams, a lava-rock fireplace, and a sweeping staircase that centers the home's open plan. Additional amenities include: 40' Private swimming pool with adjacent lounge area, covered portal, sunroom with glass enclosure, solar improvements, mechanical system updates, maintained roof and gutters, radon mitigation system, updated appliances, and enhanced irrigation infrastructure. Exceptional maintenance and stewardship, upgrades over recent years that have modernized systems while preserving the artistic integrity of the home. The property has also been operated as a short-term rental, generating consistent income and showing strong demand as a retreat or vacation destination.
