Nestled on five acres in the southeast foothills of Wilderness Gate at the base of Sun and Moon Mountains and near Atalaya Peak, this superlative two-year old home has stunning views of the Jemez Mountains over the City. An open single-level floor plan is flooded with natural light from deeply inset divided light windows, and the outdoor living spaces are fabulous with over three thousand square feet of portals. This perfectly proportioned home is elegant yet lives very comfortably. The living room and formal dining, the kitchen and breakfast area, and the family room all open to beautiful outdoor spaces, as does the primary bedroom and the media room. There are two ensuite guest bedrooms joined by a second smaller living room. An office with ensuite bath and a powder room complete the living areas. Constructed by Woods Design Builders with exceptional attention to detail, the residence offers superb finishes and fixtures including Versailles-pattern Blue Jay tile in the entry, hand-scraped reclaimed white oak floors, Taj Mahal granite and antique Terra Cotta stone, black onyx and white onyx marble and Crystallo from Italy, primary bathroom stone from a quarry in Portugal, and eye-catching Terrazzo in the laundry room and mud room. Cabinets and doors are hand-crafted knotty Alder, and the hardware is custom three-tone Rocky Mountain bronze and dark bronze on the doors and matching finials. The draperies are all custom hand-loomed linen from England, and the light fixtures are Kelly Wearstler inside and out. Additionally, the home has a three-way shared domestic water well with two 2500-gallon storage tanks, plus its own private well with two 5000-gallon storage tanks, currently used for landscaping, and there is also a grey-water system that irrigates trees. The home has twenty-six solar photovoltaic panels and provides its own electricity. Fabulous home.
The SE part of Santa Fe is rich with history, 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.
