About This Home
Beautifully updated single-level Rancho Viejo home located directly across from HOA open space and miles of community walking trails. Built in 2003, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath Ristra model offers 2,230 square feet with no interior steps, abundant natural light, refrigerated air conditioning, and in-floor radiant heat. High ceilings with vigas, clerestory windows, slate and wood floors, and a gas-fired kiva fireplace create classic Santa Fe style. The kitchen features granite countertops, an island with breakfast bar seating, and opens to the great room, while a separate sitting room and formal dining room provide flexible living and entertaining spaces. The privately situated primary suite is separated from the guest bedrooms and includes a remodeled bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower, bench seating, and grab bars. Two additional bedrooms and a full guest bath offer flexibility for family, visitors, or a home office. The secluded central patio and enclosed backyard provide inviting outdoor living, while the finished 2-car garage features epoxy flooring. A spacious laundry room includes an oversized washer and dryer, utility sink, and abundant cabinetry. Improvements include a new foam roof (2023), new stucco (2018), many replacement windows (2021), remodeled primary bath, and more. HOA dues include trash and recycling. Rancho Viejo is a Firewise community with approximately 15 miles of walking trails across more than 11,000 acres, nearly half preserved as open space, parks, playgrounds, and RV parking. Southside shopping, dining, and everyday amenities are about 12 minutes away. Santa Fe Community College, less than 2 miles away, offers a state-of-the-art fitness center and lifelong learning opportunities. Don’t miss the property video and 3-D tour!
