Description

Tucked into Santa Fe’s east-side hills above St. John’s College, this gracious treed estate on 1.73 acres celebrates the architectural and natural beauty of the high desert. Built in 1992 and stylishly designed for both grand entertaining and a peaceful retreat, this 5,118 square foot adobe home evokes the timeless spirit of Santa Fe living. Step through hand-crafted doors and embrace the airy great room where smooth plaster walls, coved ceilings, broad vigas, and brick floors reflect the region’s rich heritage. French doors open to a wide deck capturing views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain, lush and mature landscaping and un-obstructed and private views of the forest, offering a breathtaking backdrop for morning coffee or twilight gatherings. The heart of the home is the open kitchen and dining hearth, where custom cabinetry, generous workspace, and a sculptural fireplace create a warm and inviting family gathering space. A separate wing offers privacy for family or guests, complete with a den, 2 bedrooms, and baths. The primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary with access to the view deck and an elegant bath suite and custom closet. Multiple outdoor portals, patios, and gardens invite relaxation and connection with the surrounding landscape. The detached newly remodeled 649 sq ft guest house provides ideal quarters for visiting family, an artist studio, or a private office. This property combines authenticity, scale, and a distinctly ideal and convenient location —next to the Dorothy Stewart and Atalaya Mountain Trails, within walking distance to Santa Fe Preparatory, Atalaya and Rio Grande Elementary schools and minutes from Canyon Road and the historic Plaza—offering a rare opportunity to experience refined and peaceful Santa Fe living.
