Description

Located just over 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, this privately situated, passive solar contemporary home sits on 10.25 wooded acres, surrounded by mature Ponderosa and Pion pines. Designed for energy efficiency, this two-story residence offers both privacy and natural beauty, and regular sightings of native wildlife including birds, bobcats, and gray foxes. Originally built in 1998 and thoughtfully renovated and expanded in 2009, the main house features high-performance Designer Series Pella windows with triple pane, low-E glass and integrated blinds, along with durable hardwood and ceramic tile flooring. The open living and dining area is accented by viga ceilings and a Danish soapstone woodstove, which stores and radiates heat for efficient warmth. A custom-built media cabinet and wood storage add functional elegance. The modern kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted with custom maple cabinetry, hickory and granite countertops, and premium appliances including a Wolf induction cooktop, Miele wall oven and dishwasher, and Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. A stylish powder room with custom cabinetry and an ensuite guest bedroom with sunroom complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile home office or media area between two spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and private bathrooms featuring custom finishes. An upstairs laundry room with sink is conveniently located near the bedrooms. For added comfort, three Daikin mini-split systems provide efficient cooling in summer and supplemental heating in winter. Velux Integra roof windows, equipped with remote-controlled blinds and rain-sensor auto-close functionality, enhance ventilation and natural light. A secure Catio on the balcony provides a safe outdoor space for feline companions. Also included is a detached one bedroom and 3/4 bathroom, 900 sq ft guesthouse, ideal for guests or as a rental. This private unit offers full functionality while maintaining separation from the main home. Enjoy outdoor living on thoughtful patio spaces with sun sails and a fenced vegetable garden with raised boxes. Snow barriers, heavy-duty galvanized gutters and downspouts, and a two-car carport ensure protection from the elements year-round. The 1200 sf heated workshop on the property offers abundant space for your creative projects. Whether you're seeking a sustainable lifestyle, a quiet creative refuge, or a home with income potential, this unique Santa Fe property offers all that and more.
