1236 Summit Drive

Description

Morning light arrives over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, while evening brings expansive sunsets that illuminate the city of Santa Fe below. Here lies an opportunity that exists because it cannot easily be recreated: a custom adobe estate on one of the premier homesites in Santa Fe Summit, quietly occupied by its original owners since its completion. Of impeccable quality befitting its Wolf Corp-built and Michael Bauer-designed pedigree, this house showcases the enduring Santa Fe design in its highest form. Set on a 2-acre lot in the gated Santa Fe Summit, the property comprises a 5,402-square-foot main residence with 3 bedrooms, 5 baths, private office, den, formal dining room, and an expansive primary suite with dual walk-in closets and adjoining fitness room. A detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath casita with full kitchen and living room provides exceptional guest accommodations. Completing the compound are an attached 3-car garage with work-area and a detached 2-car garage / studio with lower-level flex space. The setting is remarkable. Sweeping western views overlook the city and capture spectacular sunsets, while eastern windows frame the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising toward the Santa Fe Ski Basin. Positioned at the uppermost end of Hyde Park Road before the Santa Fe National Forest begins, the location offers uncommon privacy while remaining just minutes from downtown. Traditional adobe construction, diamond plaster walls, hand-hewn vigas, flagstone floors, substantial timbers, and beautifully crafted cabinetry reflect a level of quality that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Generous living spaces, a spacious kitchen, and seamless connections to outdoor terraces create a home equally suited to quiet daily living and large-scale entertaining. Rarely does a residence of this pedigree, setting, and provenance become available. 1236 N Summit is a legacy property that represents some of Santa Fe's finest architecture, craftsmanship, and views.
