A quaint retail structure in a northern New Mexico village where the population has gone from just under 800 a century ago to around 800 today is on the market for $262,000.
Located in the village of Cimarron, near the eastern edge of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the structure was built when Theodore Roosevelt was president and is one of a handful of historic one- and two-story structures lining the 300 block of E. Ninth Street.
Currently home to the Cimarron Blue Fine Art Gallery, the building is designated as a Class B structure and includes 11-foot vaulted ceilings in the gallery space, and 9-foot-tall ceilings in the living quarters.
Listed by Caldwell Banker Mountain Properties of Taos, the structure was formerly the home of the Tumbleweeds Leather Company.
Established in 1857, the Village of Cimarron originally served as an outpost on the famous Santa Fe Trail, providing supplies to travelers.
