Description

PAUSE and take a moment to step back in time. To a time when life was slower and craftsmanship was the hallmark of fine estates. This elegant main house and guest house are located on a lush acre in the City of Santa Fe, on a private well with the option of City water. Set in scenic surroundings, there are hiking, biking and skiing amenities nearby. Built in 1979, the main house is single level, with spacious living areas, an open-plan kitchen and circular breakfast nook. The handsome living/dining room accesses patios that run the full length of the house. The secluded principal bedroom suite, with private bathroom and dressing area, is situated at the end of a long art gallery. The large library with fireplace is adjacent to the living room and can be configured with a daybed to serve as a second bedroom. Savor the details of this elegant, romantic home: antique, hand-carved doors; exquisite ceilings with vigas, beams and stamped, herringbone decking; imported Portuguese tiles, built-in bancos and display nichos; gleaming brick floors; and three fireplaces exhibiting artisanal, wrought iron screens. The detached, multi-purpose guest house, built in 1985, has also served as an art studio, private office and rental opportunity. Consisting of a large bedroom, living room with fireplace, studio area, bathroom and kitchenette, it has a fenced deck with stunning views to the Sun and Moon mountains. The entire property has remarkable panoramic vistas, sheltered gardens with mature landscaping that meanders to a meditation area, and extensive brick patios providing a superb entertainment venue.
