authentic old santa fe

Completely renovated in 1999 but retaining all its classic 1945 adobe character and charm, this home on 9.3 acres with three subdividable legal lots of record has gorgeous panoramic mountain and city-light views from the privacy of its own ridgeline at 7,300 feet. The property is on a private cul-de-sac road less than two low-traffic or walking miles from the historic town Plaza and Canyon Road restaurants and art galleries, only five miles from national forest trails, and 12 miles from the 12,400-foot-high Santa Fe Ski Area. The adobe-walled and securely gated house has four walled compass-point courtyards for outdoor seating in all season and conditions and a beautiful, climate-controlled indoor/outdoor 60-foot chemical-free lap pool and adjoining sauna room for healthy all-year enjoyment. The living space of the home, all on one level and sized for easy management, maintenance and efficiency, is free of toxic materials (renovated as a "Healthy Home" by nationally published architect-author and baubiologist Paula Baker-Laporte). Original oak and tile floors, casement windows, and hand-hewn log vigas add to the character and warmth of this vintage home. Nothing is as quiet or energy-efficient as this home's solid real adobe walls, which provide both summer cooling and winter warmth. Perfect for the health-conscious owner who wants to have guests nearby but not quite under roof and foot, the subdividable property offers space for two additional casitas or an additional homesite. The property and its two subdividable contiguous lots are priced below their bank-appraised value, enabling affordable expansion and all the advantages of a private compound. Convenience to town combined with cool unobstructed mountain breezes, higher precipitation, and clean air create Santa Fe's healthiest and most sought-after living environment.
Offered at $2,850,000 for entire estate on 9.3 acres, $2,450,000 for home on 2.7 acres with continguous 2.07 acre parcel, or $1,850,000 for home on 2.7 acres. MLS 702784
