5724 Rio Mimbres Road NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87144

Tucked into Los Rios, a small, quiet community along the Corrales border, this three-bedroom, two-bath Southwestern home delivers privacy, character, and unobstructed Sandia Mountain views--with a front-row seat to the color and spectacle of Balloon Fiesta. A beautiful front courtyard welcomes you inside, where a dramatic viga-and-latilla ceiling and adobe-brick half wall bring authentic Southwestern warmth to the living and dining areas. The kitchen features black honed granite countertops, while the flex room just off the kitchen offers valuable additional space. Recent improvements include a TPO roof and stucco completed in 2021, six newly installed Andersen windows with warranties, and fresh paint throughout the entire interior of the home. A substantial privacy wall surrounds the property. The oversized wraparound covered patio, complete with lighting, opens to a generous backyard with fruit trees, a lush, appropriately sized lawn, and automatic bubbler and sprinkler systems. Water as much as you like from your own private well--with no water bill! Set on a corner lot along a city-maintained road, the property also includes an oversized garage and no HOA. Shopping and dining are close by, while the Rio Grande, Bosque, and nearby trails are within walking distance. Southwestern charm, meaningful updates, mountain views, outdoor living, and a peaceful setting near Corrales come together in a home that is easy to enjoy and hard to duplicate.
