A TREASURE DISCOVERED - Nestled discreetly behind gates and privacy walls along the iconic Old Santa Fe Trail, this exceptional estate, once home to the esteemed Peggy and Forrest Fenn, offers an oasis of serenity and luxury. Spanning 2.65 acres, this private retreat includes a 4,596-square-foot main residence with one bedroom, a charming 645-square-foot guesthouse complete with a kitchenette, and a three-car garage with ample storage accessed via a lighted, paved driveway. The meticulously landscaped grounds are a true sanctuary, featuring lighted walkways, flourishing fruit trees, aspens, cottonwoods, a majestic weeping willow, and a recirculating stream that cascades into a tranquil pond, home to fish, frogs, turtles, and ducks. The main residence exudes timeless elegance, starting with a grand entry hallway crowned by a high barreled ceiling. The expansive library is a masterpiece with its beamed ceilings, latillas, and a secure walk-in vault. The living room, anchored by a central fireplace, is perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room overlooking the pond are designed for culinary delight, while the large primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with dual bathrooms featuring a steam shower, jetted soaking tub, and two oversized walk-in closets. Upstairs, a versatile office or studio opens onto a spacious roof deck with sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The home also boasts portals and patios for outdoor living along with the rare advantage of a finished basement for additional storage. This estate is adorned with exquisite architectural details including oversized slate tile floors, custom-built cabinetry, handsome granite countertops, antique solid wood doors, tasteful window treatments, masonry fireplaces, and numerous skylights, all contributing to the home's extraordinarily unique character and charm.
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.
