This 3-bed, 2-bath retreat offers a lifestyle of quiet luxury and environmental harmony. Located on a lush .84-acre lot along a private gated road, you are perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from downtown Santa Fe while remaining steps away from hiking trails, the iconic Tesuque Village Market, and fine dining at El Nido.Evolution of Design: This home is a masterclass in modern reconstruction. While the original steel structure dates to 1967, the home was meticulously rebuilt from the framing and foundation up in 2006. Further architectural expansions followed in 2010 and 2016, adding a garage, custom patios, and a sophisticated "pop-top" second story. The exterior is a striking composition of steel panels, smooth stucco, and a seamless, high-durability pro-panel metal roof. Inside, the "Scandi" influence is felt through soaring ceilings and expansive clear-view windows that invite the outside in, framing glorious high-desert sunsets and the region's famous dark skies.The interior boasts high-end, tactile finishes including polished concrete and tile flooring, sleek concrete countertops, and modern European cabinetry. A main-floor primary suite ensures long-term accessibility and ease of living. For year-round climate control, the home is equipped with efficient ductless mini-split HVAC units and a cozy gas fireplace, ensuring comfort regardless of the season.The grounds are a rare find with a running acequia with valuable transferable water rights. This is a true gardener's paradise, complete with a 10x20 powered greenhouse, an electric-equipped chicken coop, and a productive orchard of apricot, pear, and apple trees--all supported by a comprehensive drip irrigation system. Outdoor living is redefined by a wrapped patio with a custom steel portal. With a private well and septic, this property offers the ultimate in autonomy and modern elegance.
