Casa Z - with Private Pickle Ball Court

This beautifully kept 1940s home is nestled on a quiet street in the north valley. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a lush one-acre property. If you are visiting at harvest time, you'll find plenty of apple trees, pear trees, and grape vines that you are free to enjoy, as you relax in one of the two outdoor patios under the shade of the many indigenous trees.

The gated property is completely fenced and set back from the road with plenty of space for parking, (including space for an RV). The backyard is spacious with grapevines, apple trees, a covered patio, and a private pickleball court.

The newly renovated kitchen is a gourmet cook's dream! The beautiful Talavera tile adds to the authenticity of the Territorial Style home. The open kitchen contains modern appliances and is fully stocked with everything you would need to enjoy a home-cooked meal.

Hardwood and brick floors abound throughout the two main living areas as well as all three bedrooms.

We work with a professional cleaning company that uses a
5 -Star cleaning system. The home is cleaned thoroughly between each reservation.

Lovely property that reflects what makes Albuquerque special. There are a couple of quirks but those add to the charm. The outdoor spaces add to the pleasant experience my two friends and I had at Casa Z.

We enjoyed our short but welcoming stay. Great walking trails available first thing in the morning. Plenty of room for our family of 6. Kids enjoyed the pickle ball court and basketball court daily. Amazing fruit trees to pick and eat fresh fruit. Great outdoor areas to sit and enjoy.

This was our second stay at Casa Z and we couldn’t be happier! In fact, since our visit in December they’d made a lot of updates to the property. The pickle ball court was resurfaced and repainted and they added a new sitting area adjacent to it. It’s the perfect spot for adults to sip a bevie while others play pickle ball. There’s even a small jungle gym/swingset on the other side of the court for younger kids. They’ve added white lights to the huge old cotton wood trees in the back, which looks magical at night. We Will definitely be back!
