About This Home

Set on approximately 2 private acres in one of Santa Fe’s most coveted foothill enclaves, just a few quick minutes from Museum Hill and the Eastside, this exceptional compound unfolds as a beautifully composed private retreat defined by space, light, and remarkable natural surroundings. The property encompasses apx 3,610 sqft with a 3 BR / 4 BA configuration. The main residence spans roughly 3,040 sqft with 2 BR / 3 BA filled with natural light from skylights and expansive windows that frame Santa Fe’s legendary deep blue skies, brilliant pink sunsets, and luminous night skies. Authentic Santa Fe elements are abundant throughout, including vigas, latillas, nichos, and 3 kiva fireplaces. Luxurious wood, brick, and tile flooring and a streamlined elegant chef’s kitchen with stainless appliances anchor the home’s inviting living spaces. Historic elements from its original 1947 construction lend character and warmth throughout, though recently and thoroughly updated and completely renovated and modernized. A separate guest house of approximately 570 sqft completely reimagined offers a beautifully stunning and private 1 BR / 1 BA retreat. Distinctive Moroccan-imported doors and hardware open to interiors highlighted by striking oversized invisible pocket doors and diagonal blonde wood floors with a steam shower, creating an inviting and stylish sanctuary for guests, creative pursuits, or quiet retreat. Air-conditioning cools in the height of summer’s hottest days. At the center of its outdoor experience is a newly redone walled and private saltwater lap pool with an automatic retractable cover - an elegant retreat for quiet morning swims, sun-drenched afternoons, or moonlit evenings. Surrounding the pool are rare, lush grass lawns - an extraordinary luxury in Santa Fe - along with generous outdoor spaces and private patios designed for spontaneous entertaining and languid moments. This gated paradise provides exceptional privacy and abundant parking with direct, close access from the property to the Sun Mountain trail system - offering the rare privilege of stepping right from your backyard into one of Santa Fe’s most beloved hiking landscapes. Here, expansive skies, breathtaking sunsets, and a deep sense of privacy create a lifestyle that is both rare and deeply restorative, Santa Fe itself truly embodied in an exceptional estate.
