197 Overlook

This wonderful and well-cared-for mountain residence is surrounded by natural beauty, tall pines, and picturesque views. The timber frame and structural panel super-insulated construction makes the home cozy and quiet, and with in-floor radiant heat, very energy efficient (R-38 walls and R-54 roof). The post and beam structure made with hardwood pegs has not a nail in it and is assembled with very fine craftsmanship. The home has abundant natural light. A two-story living room with large fireplace is so inviting and opens to the formal dining room. The kitchen has a bar with seating for casual dining and adjoins a comfortable family room. The peaceful owners' suite upstairs has beautiful views and a large bath with jetted tub and separate shower of striking green marble. There's also a study or guest room upstairs along with an office space and outdoor balcony. The second bedroom downstairs can double as a great studio space. The large deck of weatherproof Purple Heart wood is a delightful outdoor living space, and there are two more patios as well. The 6.77 acre parcel adjoins the 420 acre La Barbaria Ranch to the east and a large plot of land to the south. Escape the hustle and bustle, hike or cross-country ski right from your back door, and yet it's only a short drive to the Plaza and all the fabulous amenities in Santa Fe. There's an oversize two-car finished garage and a 2,000-gallon cistern. Horses allowed.
