Peace. Privacy. Serenity. That’s what you’ll find at this luxuriously remodeled two-home estate in the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
~ Peace ~
Despite being only 14 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza, 11 to the Santa Fe Opera, 6 to Four Seasons Resort, and 5 to hip Tesuque Village, this estate feels a world apart, with sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jemez Mountains, and northern badlands from almost all rooms and two expansive Trex roof decks.
~ Privacy ~
The main and guest homes are expertly sited on 6.4 acres, but the estate feels more like 20 acres, because there are no near neighbors in any direction. Wake to the sun as it crests over Santa Fe ski area, and enjoy coffee on the east deck. At day’s end, relax on the north deck and toast golden hour over the Jemez. Slide open the living room “wall of windows” and dine to music beside the fireplace patio. As the Sangres glow pink, retreat upstairs to the “snug” to read and relax to more panoramic views. Top off the day with a bath in your deep soaking tub, and watch the stars emerge over your private domain.
~ Serenity ~
These homes are two of only a few in Santa Fe with rammed earth accent walls, an ancient building method that has become a luxury feature of homes and museums, appreciated for its beauty, quiet, and energy efficiency.
~ Style ~
Designed by nationally acclaimed architect Efthimios Maniatis, both homes boast the organic modern style, with clean lines softened by the rammed earth walls and rustic beams. Both homes were professionally decorated in 2024 in this same style of rustic modern luxury. This furniture is available for purchase to make your move easy.
~ Modernity ~
Both homes were completely remodeled in 2024, with new roofs, kitchens, baths, closets, boilers, whole-home water purification, and smart home systems, including security, audio, fast internet, and thermostats.
~ Cash flow ~
If you don’t have frequent guests, the 2BR/2BA guest house is a licensed short-term rental with annual income exceeding $100K. Future bookings are transferable to you.
This one-of-a-kind, oh-my-gorgeous, relax-and-breathe-deep estate may just be your forever home.
