Home of the noted collector and beloved Santa Fe icon , the late Omer Claiborne- this lovely compound is tucked down a quiet lane off Canyon Road. The original home and guest house were built by Agnes Sims in 1947- 1948 . Omer designed the elegant main house in 1997 , attaching it to the original structure . This single level home has a clean , modernist aesthetic and features many architectural details , including lighted , recessed shelves for his museum quality artifacts , multiple fireplaces , concrete floors , French doors throughout , and 12' beamed ceilings. The 2 bedroom main house opens to a gracious entry courtyard, and flows seamlessly into the original house. The original adobe building is currently used as a gallery but can easily be converted into 2 bedrooms with an existing bath and a sitting area. The detached guest house is accessed through a brick courtyard , and offers privacy and charm. The established landscaping ,coveted location and flexible spaces add to the magic of this special property.
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.
