If you’ve ever traveled to the Southwestern region of the United States, you’ve likely seen the beauty that is an Adobe-style home. Adobe refers to the actual building material, which is traditionally made from earth and organic materials. Sometimes you may hear Adobe-style homes referred to as Pueblo-style homes. Adobe-style homes as we know them today are made to mimic the original architecture that was used by the Indigenous Pueblo people of the Southwest. Adobe architecture dates back centuries and has evolved throughout the years.
We’ve curated a list of 5 remarkable Adobe-style homes that are currently on the market in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
