We just bought a B&B in Jemez Springs!!!!
I've been dealing w/ the intricacies for 2 weeks now. Only the inspection to get through.

5 bedrooms 6 baths, 7+acres, hot springs w/in 1/2 mile, an hour to Santa Fe or Alb.

Gorgeous cottonwoods all over, and if we drill a well that gets hot water it's all ours!!!


DAMN....I'm so freaking happy.... Christmas in the Jemez!!!!

3. Congrats.
Went to school at New Mexico Tech in Socorro. On a Geo field study we went to the Jemez Springs area. Took some samples of one of the roadside hot springs, then on to the Caldera. Beautiful country. PM me when you get it up and running. My SO and I go to New Mexico frequently (We'll be in Gallop and the Zuni res this weekend) and a day or two in around the hot springs sounds good.

4. Congratulations!
I've thought about doing that at times. I think it would be fun, but I also know it would be work. Best of luck in your new venture.

6. In all honesty, it will become a family retreat... occasional B&B guests
We just need an escape from Silicon Valley.... and our Pagosa Springs cabin now has a 39' (not kidding) condo-plex going up next to it.


I would love to actually run a B&B, but as hubby says..."Who is gonna clean it?"

12. OMG... you are sooo right.
I will do so after another glass of wine.


Fortunately NM is an undiscovered country.


Most ppl see NM and think about international postage and passports.


Let's keep it that way.

11. *envy* accepted! My sis's MIL has been in Real Estate
for 17 years and was shocked by how beauliful it was. Tanya, the listing agent has been doing this for all of 1 1/2 years. She doesn't list in the MLS. The owner had 2 sales fall through in 8 months. We offered cash.




WE HAVE A WAY COOL B&B !!!


Not up to legal snuff for a few months, but still....:party: :toast: :bounce: :party: :party: :party: :bounce: :bounce: :toast:



PS - my sis is the one in the pics - she found it for us!

15. there is no jemez river
and there is no NM

why don't people get that through their heads?

the fish would probably be poisonous anyway.

It's the Palm River!

NM does not exist. okay?
