Rare Historic Gem in the Heart of Silver City, NM

Rare Historic Gem in the Heart of Silver City – Built in 1870: Step into a truly unique walled compound rich with character, charm, and New Mexico history. This ~3,000 sq.ft. adobe home and 1,600 sq.ft. adobe studio/barn sit on nearly an acre bordering scenic Boston Hill. The main residence features original wood floors, hand-finished plaster walls, and classic Territorial-style details. Interior features are 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 living areas, 2 kitchens, and a tranquil meditation room with a kiva fireplace. Enjoy mornings on the long covered front porch, afternoons in the landscaped courtyard, and evenings by the serene backyard pond—each space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. According to local lore, the legendary Geronimo was once held captive here before his daring escape. The updated studio/barn includes a new bathroom and laundry, offering flexible use as a guesthouse, workshop, or creative space. Currently, part of the property operates as a successful Airbnb. Exterior features include an electric gate, off-street parking, and space to add a garage. Located just minutes from downtown Silver City and WNMU. This is more than a home—it’s a story, a retreat, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Southwest’s living history.
