For Sale

This beautiful building in the mountain resort community of Ruidoso, New Mexico, plus more than one acre of land is for sale.  The building was completed in slightly over six (6) years ago.   The building was specifically designed to be a fine art gallery, but is adaptable to many other uses.  Due to medical problems, the owners have decided to retire a couple of years ahead of schedule.  Persons showing initial interest have included other art gallery owners, a doctor interested in an immediate care center and a restaurateur.

The present owner is a degreed mechanical engineer, therefore many innovative features have been designed into the structure.  For instance, the method of construction employs Structural Insulated Panels (SIP).   This has resulted in surprisingly efficient temperature transfer (both hot and cold).   The "R" factor for the completed walls and floors approximates R-50.   The ceilings have 19" blown insulation installed.   The gas company recently informed us that after some price drops in natural gas, and an over charged average for the prior year, the average to be paid for the coming year will be $39.00 per month.   This includes the entire commercial and residential portions (6196 sq. ft. total). 

Since compact fluorescent lighting uses only about 25% of the energy to produce the same incandescent light output, our electrical bills average about $225.00 per month.  This is with approximately 225 light bulbs of 120 watts (equivalent output) used in the art gallery and the normal household usage in the residence.  The bulbs were purchased directly from the factory, and color tuned to 5100 Kelvin (very close to the color of natural sunlight).  An additional benefit of the fluorescent lighting is the level of heat generated (less than 15%) as compared to incandescent.

The SIP construction has the additional benefit of quietness, due to the six inch high density styrofoam  used in the panels.

Only the exterior walls are load bearing.  Only one section of the gallery has a room that was "permanently" constructed, and that was not added for the purpose of holding up any of the structure.  For this reason, the building can easily be converted to a totally open floor plan to be re-partitioned to any need

IMPORTANT !!

The price for the building and land is $815,000.00.
