Well, we have finally decided it is high time to move to the country. By a stroke of luck a home that we had longed to dwell in two years ago came back in to our lives, and this time we were able to make it happen.
We have named her the Santa Fe Mill House, even though the home is technically in Nambe, NM nestled beside the Nambe River. The Mill was built in the late 1800's and was utilized by the Nambe Valley community as the Grist Mill for flour, wheat, and corn. As you can see from the photo the adobe structure still has the water wheel on the exterior of the building. Inside the kitchen is the fly wheel. The grist stone is smack dab in the center of the kitchen. We are working on several clever ways to integrate the artifacts of the Mill's former life into our now modern homestead.
