22 Avenida Vieja

Set in a bucolic meadow, facing the Galisteo river basin, in the quintessential village of Galisteo is a listing that will capture your heart and imagination. The property consists of two homes, the main residence and a studio/guest house. Just 10 minutes from Eldorado, where there is a grocery store and many amenities. Just 20 minutes away is Santa Fe, the world class city with amazing restaurants and shopping. This home evolved into a compound when the previous owners added a pottery studio with extra space. First came the main home, a Jay Parks designed beauty with an open floor plan and added rooms for dining or working. The home has a private office off of the living room, a delightful kitchen, master bedroom, two full baths and a porch. There is another room for summer sleeping or eating which overlooks the gardens. Many wonderful Santa Fe touches are everywhere, such as diamond plaster walls, beautiful Santa Fe woodwork and a kiva fireplace. The views from the enclosed sunroom off the living room has amazing vistas of the mountains and the Galisteo basin. The studio was built as a passive solar building later. This space is open, airy, again with big views and shares the enclosed garden area. There are two bedrooms, a bath and all open to the garden area. Off of the main room is a workshop: the barn doors open for views and an airy workspace. Artists and craftspeople will be wowed with the serenity and flexibility of these rooms. Just outside the enclosed garden gate is a barn with a tack room and electricity which opens up to one of the many corrals. Just down from the barn is a gate to the river basin, with its amazing trees and walking paths. The newly updated garden joins the two buildings together and is on drip irrigation, has river rock and wonderful plantings and designs . It is beyond charming!
