Description

One-of-a-kind treasure in coveted Las Dos on 11 private acres with sweeping views of the eastern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, western Jemez Mountains, and distant Colorado skies. This exceptional estate offers rare privacy, timeless craftsmanship, and authentic Santa Fe character. The property includes a beautifully designed main residence with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a garage, plus a separate guest casita featuring 1 bedroom, office, and 1 bath. The main house was constructed with double-thick 12-inch walls, recessed windows, and hand-applied mud plaster with mica flecks, creating warmth and texture throughout. An oversized wraparound portal with built-in banco was inspired by the iconic portal at Ghost Ranch. Rich in vintage charm yet thoughtfully updated, the home features a new boiler water heater, membrane roof, and refreshed stucco. A custom iron entry gate crafted by Amazing Gates welcomes you to this serene hideaway. Designed and built by Blue Raven Design’s Charlie Southard and Jerry West—renowned Santa Fe builders and former fine art majors—the home reflects extraordinary artistry and attention to detail. Interior highlights include a French vintage dining chandelier, hand-wrought iron sconces by artist Christopher Thompson, custom solid wood doors with handcrafted hardware, kiva fireplaces, many additional vintage reclaimed doors, tumbled brick floors, and reclaimed vigas from a Northern New Mexico church. The kitchen features handmade wood cabinetry crafted by a Maine furniture maker and a Viking range. The guest casita carries the same distinctive style with Venetian plaster walls, custom doors, a handcrafted chandelier by the Streck Family Tin Workers, a kiva fireplace, and private outdoor living areas. Horses are allowed, completing this extraordinary Northern New Mexico retreat.
