16 Camino Libre

Welcome to the peerless Galisteo Basin, and to builder Doug Atwill's house no. 46. This outstandingly sited home and attached studio is the former residence and workplace of internationally acclaimed artist Nancy Holt. Oversized picture windows frame both intimate and open-range views, including ancient geological seabed formations, and the sweeping grace of Tom Ford's former Cerro Pelon Ranch, with its iconic film-set ghost town in the distance. The home rests on two lots consisting of 13 plus acres, with meandering arroyos, sentinel cottonwoods, Russian olives, and multiple varieties of apple trees lacing the property. Enjoy the privacy afforded by a quiet country road, plus direct access to local trails, including pathways into the heart of Galisteo. A new (2021) 40-foot black-bottom pool, separate hot tub, and existing custom cedar-lined sauna all grace this high-desert retreat--and are all powered by a 12.6 KW photovoltaic array, also added 2021. Extensive upgrades throughout (docs in MLS) provide ample amenities. A possible fourth bedroom is a flex space that can be used as a home office or as an extension of the artist studio. An attached 2 car garage includes built-in shelving. This creative sanctuary is located 30 minutes from Santa Fe, in a town that balladeer Burl Ives called "my favorite little village."
