22 Loma Serena

Commanding a secluded location in the hills north of Santa Fe--in the esteemed Tano Road area--this idyllic residence has the air of a Southwestern alpine retreat, with vigas and beams, kiva fireplaces, Saltillo and other colorful tile, carved posts, and eye-catchingly handsome hardwood floors contributing to the warm, welcoming ambiance. A private drive winds through pions, pines, and an arroyo and up toward the residence, which is surrounded by a vibrant gated courtyard and sunny stone patio. The home is an inviting, livable escape offering two comfortable, spacious upper-level bedrooms with enviable view decks; a charming kitchen; formal living and dining spaces with stunning vistas; a one-car garage; and a very private guest suite with its own entrance. Abundant windows capture one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the area--of mountains, badlands, native flora, and blue sky--and admit lovely light throughout.
