The House In Peñasco I'm Trying To Buy...

Here are some photos of the house I'm trying to buy... mostly of the yard, which I really fell in love with.  I think my cats would really enjoy it too.  There are some fruit trees on the property, but I'm not sure how many or what kind.  It is a humble little house, but in pretty good shape, and the layout would work for me.  Ater 8 years of renting I'm REALLY wanting to own my own house again.  It is in Peñasco, a rural area about 35 minutes from Taos, and an hour from Santa Fe.

I put in an offer to buy the house yesterday, and I'm waiting to hear back from the sellers.   Meahwhile, please imagine me happily living here:


The cool old truck.  Don't know if it goes with the house, but I'd love it if it did:
This corner was originally a carport, but is now closed in and used as storage area, which is great, because I need a storage area:
The front porch:
The side of the house further back:
The back of the house, with a little sitting porch:
The front yard:
Old log shed in the back yard, once used for goats, I think:
The old well house (well no longer in use):
And here are some other views of the back yard.  I love that there are aspen trees:




UPDATE:

The sellers and I have reached an agreement.  The price is good, and it will include a new Pro Panel metal roof, which will look great on the house.  It will be this turquoise color:


We will close at the end of  August...  Very exciting!
