Albuquerque Neighborhood Drive-by–Volcano Cliffs

December 2, 2011 by The Sugar Team

Situated high on the mesa with majestic views of the Sandia Mountains, Volcano Cliffs is a sumptuous higher-end Albuquerque neighborhood with many newer homes constructed both by popular and custom builders. What really sets Volcano Cliffs apart is its superb location. On the one hand, it feels very isolated from the hustle and bustle of traffic and businesses. On the other hand, it finds itself within minutes of the restaurants along Coors Blvd, grocery shopping, Cottonwood Mall, the Petroglyph National Monument and Desert Greens Golf Course. Volcano Cliffs is located on Albuquerque’s
West-side roughly North of Indian Petroglyph State Park and Petroglyph National Monument and South of Faciel Rd and Paseo Del Norte. It is surrounded by Ventana Ranch to the North, Taylor Ranch to the East and Ladera Heights to the South.

When looking for a home in Albuquerque’s Volcano Cliffs you will come across many excellent builders like KB Homes and DR Horton as well as many smaller, custom builders. The homes are predominantly larger single-family dwellings built within the last ten years and you will find styles ranging from pueblo style, Mediterranean/Tuscan style to Green construction. For
Volcano Cliffs as of November 30, 2011 the past year revealed that the Median
Sales Price was $230,255, Average Sales Price was $252,897, Average Price per square foot was $112.59, Average Square Footage was 2,270 and the Average Number of Days on Market was 82. During this same period, the highest sale was a home that sold for $380,000 (Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors).

The Sugar Team has a fabulous new pocket listing in Montecito Estates in Volcano Cliffs that still has not gone live on the market. It is a model KB Home built in 2008 with a
3250 square foot main house with a private, detached 250 guest house. Both have refrigerated air (of course!), granite countertops, a cook’s kitchen, crown moldings and many other exquisite features.

Linda Sugar–Albuquerque Oil Painter and Realtor Extraordinaire

November 17, 2011 by The Sugar Team

Linda Sugar is an accomplished oil painter and eclectic artist with over 40 years of experience, being both formally and informally trained. Her tour started in upper New York State where her first life lessons were in New York City, studying the Masters informally in museums and galleries. In the 70’s she climbed into a VW bus and headed west, searching yet entirely new lessons. Although her course was already set for San Francisco, she felt an affinity for New Mexico and almost stayed. However, she didn’t really feel at home until she returned to Albuquerque, New Mexico in ’05. Now an accomplished painter, she captures action and energy drawing from New Mexico’s robust history and terrain.

As a trained sculptor, Linda says that she sees “dimensionally,” which is absolutely apparent in her work. If asked, she would say that she is “mindful of energy, not specifics.” I would agree. I would add that she is absolutely fearless in her composition as well as use of color. Her subject matter is also entirely varied. She feels comfortable in her artistic skin rendering landscapes, human portraits or even pet portraits. Linda would love to show her portfolio with gusto as well as be contacted for commissions (505) 301-8902.

Right now The Sugar Team has a wonderful promotion that every one of us can lap up… and possibly win a free rendering of your pet! All you have to do is click on the link Win a Free Linda Sugar Pet Portrait, fill out the information on-line, and be entered into a random drawing to win an opportunity for Linda Sugar to make an original portrait of your favorite pet.
