Perched upon a hillside in the scenic Upper Eastside, this elegant one-of-a-kind two-property compound is a perfect blend of old and new, set in an idyllic location amid fruit trees, dramatic terrain and amazing panoramic vistas at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest. The "top house" has seen extensive renovations since 1990, with an eye toward melding the old with the new, with an emphasis on quality and design. The welcoming living room has a large kiva fireplace and floor-to-ceiling built-in wooden shelving; tt adjoins a south-facing glass-enclosed sunroom perfect for hosting tall plants. The kitchen, renovated in 2020, includes modern high-end finishes and appliances. An exterior stair leads to an elevated studio apartment with full kitchen and bathroom. The "middle house" once served as a hunting lodge more than 100 years ago, and discerning renovations have transformed this home into a remarkable space that elegantly combines traditional building elements with a modern, organic design sensibility. Large windows allow copious light and natural views to suffuse the open-concept living spaces, while the two well-separated bedrooms, each with a kiva fireplace, offer a private counterbalance. At your doorstep are myriad attractions including the Cerro Gordo Trailhead of the Dale Ball Trails, Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary, artist studios/galleries and much more awaiting exploration. A truly incomparable offering.
Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside
With some homes dating back centuries, these neighborhoods boast some of Santa Fe’s most photographed adobe homes and gardens. Hosting a mix of multi-generational families and newcomers, the homes, often hidden behind high walls and accessed by narrow, dirt lanes, recall the city’s early history and lend Santa Fe a unique heritage.
