Property Description
Welcome to 1280 San Jose in historic La Mesa, a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Mexico history. County records date this remarkable adobe home to 1819, offering timeless character and solid bones. Occupied as recently as 10 years ago, it's ready for restoration and your personal vision. The sellers have traced ownership to Charles Dunn of Iowa, a Union Army veteran of the Civil War. Historic details remain throughout, including the signature of a craftsman named Juan, dated 1904, and carport inscriptions documenting Model T servicing in the 1930s. The property includes EBID water rights, is ideal for horses, RV parking, gardening, or hobby farming, and is located near El Camino Real, schools, parks, and restaurants. A truly unique historic gem offering endless potential to restore, preserve, and make your own.

We already own a home but want to find “The House.” Carl Krause understands where we are coming from and has kept up with us in a non-pressuring way. Our first realtor support recommendation to people we know moving here is Carl with the Las Cruces Home Team.

- Carl has gone above and beyond the normal duties of a real estate professional to help me relocate to Las Cruces for my retirement. He helped me know the area and find the best place for me in a 55+ community. His attention to detail allowed for a smooth closing - even with me out-of-state. I am most grateful for his help and expertise. I recommend Carl to you with the highest possible marks. In the process, I consider Carl a friend on the journey of life.
