About the host
Hosted by Judy Quick
I am a native Texas girl, but spent most of my adult life living in the Southwest. For the last 20+ years, I divided my time between Southern California and Placitas, NM where I have homes. I love meeting new people . I worked hard for what I have, love to decorate and entertain, and love to host people in my homes. My goal is to make your stay the best experience ever! I am a former educator, and spent 20+ years owning my own educational sales organization that represented textbook and technology publishers in 6 states in the Southwest while calling on K-12 schools. Today, I have cut way back but still represent 2 publishers in New Mexico and Southern California. As you can tell, I like to stay busy!
Why they chose this property
I bought this property because of the amazing views of the Sandia Mountains! And, the fact that it was located at the end of the road--thereby offering total privacy. I was sold the minute I drove up--even before I walked into this custom home. Everything about it seemed to fit--beauty, views, peacefulness, tranquility, nature, wild horses! It just needed my personal touches and stamp to make it a very special home! I hope you will agree!
What makes this property unique
A truly unique benefit are the wild mustangs that freely roam the property. There are over 300 wild horses in Placitas and I am fortunate to have a herd of 11 that visit the property quite frequently.
The other unique benefit is the architecture of the home. It alone is stunning. It exudes such warmth from the brick floors, to the Viga & latilla 20 foot ceilings, skylights, adobe walls, niches, and the Kiva fireplaces.
