About 195 El Rayo
Some homes check the boxes. This one gives you options. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood near Barranca Mesa Elementary School, hiking trails, and the bus stop, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath home blends authentic Northern New Mexico character with modern comfort and incredible versatility. Original hardwood floors, wood ceilings, and traditional vigas bring warmth and character, while the modern kitchen serves as the natural gathering place of the home. The primary suite offers its own escape with an oversized soaking tub and cozy gas fireplace. Outside, enjoy true New Mexico living—dine beneath the covered portal, gather around the firepit, or unwind in the hot tub under the stars. Adding exceptional flexibility is an approximately 900-square-foot potential rental unit with a full kitchen, private laundry, and direct private access—ideal for rental income, extended family, or guests. A separate bonus room off the garage offers even more possibilities as a gym, office, teen space, studio, or small-business workspace. And yes, the garage actually fits two cars—with room left for storage! Northern New Mexico charm, flexible living, income potential, and a backyard made for New Mexico evenings—this home has it all.
