Casa Ballena Del Sol is an entrancing, authentic Santa Fe home, custom built in 1998 by its ardent environmentalist owner. It is sited beautifully on a 1.2 acre lot, within the City limits, that has been thoughtfully developed and landscaped, providing multiple, sweet spots for enjoying the serenity of its quiet outdoor spaces and its views. The owner's intent was to create a "green" abode, which was accomplished by using Pumice Crete construction; also, the home was solar powered until April, 2023. Its passive solar design includes walls of windows along with multiple skylights that bring in natural light as well as the lot's natural beauty. Its wood built-ins were executed by local artisans, as are its exterior mural and all interior and exterior tile work. Conveniently located, with easy access to shops and services. Spacious, with an open floor plan, and exuding warmth and livability, this cherished home will bring its new owner to a happy place.
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.
