About This Home
Tranquility, seclusion, and refined living define this beautifully reimagined 6.4 acre dual-residence estate tucked into the Sangre de Cristo foothills. Although located just minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, SF Opera, Four Seasons Resort, and the village of Tesuque, the property feels wonderfully removed from the world. Adore multiple panoramas of the Sangre de Cristos, the Jemez, and expansive northern badlands. Set beside conservation land, offering long-term privacy, this award-winning design by architect Efthimios Maniatis reflects an organic modern aesthetic, blending clean architectural lines with warm textures, exposed beams, and earthy materials. Mornings begin with sunlight spilling over the ski basin. Evenings invite quiet reflection on the north deck as the Jemez Mountains glow. Open the expansive glass doors in the living area for seamless indoor-outdoor dining beside the patio fireplace, or retreat to a primary suite with a media room and sweeping views. A distinctive feature of both homes is the use of rammed earth accent walls, an ancient construction technique prized for its natural beauty, acoustic calm, and thermal efficiency, making this estate one of a select few in Santa Fe to showcase this coveted architectural element. Both homes were professionally styled in 2024, and furnishings are available separately for a turnkey transition. Completely renovated in 2024, the property offers the confidence of modern systems throughout, including new roofs, kitchens, bathrooms, closets, boilers, whole-house water purification, and integrated smart-home technology with security, audio, high-speed internet, and climate controls. The 2/bed 2/bath, guest house is currently licensed for short term rentals and has generated over $100,000 annually, with existing reservations transferable to the new owner. This exceptional estate combines natural beauty, modern luxury, and investment opportunity in one unforgettable offering.
