Ledes from the Land of Enchantment

40-Acre Santa Fe Estate Has an Indoor Pool and Endless Desert Views

Listing of the Day

Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Price: $9.8 million

This spacious estate near downtown Santa Fe offers an artist’s studio, an indoor lap pool, a wine room, complete privacy and open mountain and desert views.

“The house is very special in that it’s on about 40 acres very near the center of town, and it’s on one of the higher points, looking over many directions,” said listing agent Darlene Streit, of Sotheby’s International Realty – Santa Fe Brokerage. “The land kind of slopes off around it, and the house has unobstructed views all around.”

There is another 100-acre property adjoining this one, making it very private.

The home offers open mountain and desert views.

The separate studio, which is a few years old, is “set up as an artist’s studio, but it could be used as guest quarters,” she said.

Other architectural and design details include a pitched copper roof, a mix of cherry wood and stone floors, mahogany doors, arched doorways and peaked and trussed ceilings.

As soon as you enter the home, “you look out to all of the views,” Ms. Streit said.

To the left of the front door are the living and dining rooms, the library and an office, she said. “The huge kitchen is really cut off from the rest of the house, but it has a separate dining component.”

The bedroom wing is to the right of the front door. The primary suite features dual bathrooms and dressing areas.

The lap pool and enclosed pool area are on the lower level, with sliding doors to an outdoor patio.

The 1996 house is “timeless,” Ms. Streit said. “It never really became dated.”

The current owners have done lots of updates, and most of the mechanicals are new, she said. “They did a lot of work that you wouldn’t necessarily see.”
