463 Calle La Paz

Rare compound hidden away at the end of a cul-de-sac in the heart of Santa Fe's Historic Eastside. This magical, Territorial style retreat combines quiet beauty with understated modern luxury. The completely walled compound has three separate dwellings, mature gardens, fruit trees, huge shade trees, water features and extensive patios. The main house built of double adobe, influenced by Betty Stewart, is a masterpiece of classically proportioned rooms sheathed in hard trowel plaster with brick floors, vintage beams, sash windows recessed into the thick walls, specialized art track lighting and mini-splits HVAC throughout. The large master bedroom suite includes his-and-her bathrooms, luxurious closets, built-in cabinetry and charming fireplace. The chef's kitchen has marble counters, custom cabinetry, butler's pantry, kiva fireplace and, through French doors, the 70' east facing front portal. The elegant living room is a wonderful tableau for showcasing art as is the rest of the house including the entry hallway, den, library, dining room and the two guest suites. The original house (1920s?) is now a full guest house overlooking the gardens in front and a private courtyard behind. Accessed off a secondary driveway is the studio/caretakers' apartment. The property has both city & well water and gated off street parking for c.15 cars. An exceptional opportunity to acquire such an authentic and secluded property in a premier location.
