Welcome to a truly rare gem—homes like this only come around once in a blue moon! In fact, this cherished homestead hasn’t been available in nearly 20 years. Tucked along the iconic Old Santa Fe Trail, just 8 miles from the heart of downtown Santa Fe, a private 600-foot driveway guides you to a peaceful retreat with panoramic views of the Pecos and Galisteo Basins, the majestic Sandia and Jemez Mountains—and even a breathtaking overlook of the City Different itself. As evening falls, prepare to be amazed. Stargazing here is a nightly ritual, and if you’ve never seen the Milky Way with your own eyes, just step out your back door and look up. It’s nothing short of magical. Nature lovers will feel right at home. Mule deer, foxes, and even the occasional bobcat might come by to say hello. Bird watchers? You're in for a treat—with hundreds of species to spot, you’ll be birding in no time. And for the hiking enthusiast, endless trails wind through this 4+ acre property right into the National Forest. Environmentally conscious? This home is thoughtfully designed with passive solar heating, large south-facing windows, a pellet stove, and propane backup for cozy winters. A 230-foot private well supplies abundant fresh water, and gardeners will love the spacious greenhouse and walled orchard ready for planting and harvest. At this elevation, you’ll be surrounded by majestic Ponderosa pines, dense Piñon, apple trees, and even mahogany. The authentic adobe construction keeps things cool in the summer and warm in the winter, while brick and wood floors, knotty pine beams, and hand-crafted details create a cozy, mountain-lodge feel throughout the home. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting layout with a living room, kitchen, dining area, the charming “bottle room,” a pantry, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths—all in an engaging split-level design. Have a creative side? The attached studio, complete with a stainless-steel work area and sink, is perfect for artists, photographers, or makers—or easily transform it into a guest suite. Upgraded features abound: modern appliances, Pella windows, Artesanos fixtures, handmade tiles, stained glass accents, a balcony, peaceful patios, a lily pond, and more. Got pets? There’s even a dedicated dog room with an 8-foot coyote-fenced enclosure. Horses? Goats? You bet! And for the DIY enthusiast, there's a large workshop connected to the garage just waiting for your next project. This is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary, a canvas, and an adventure waiting to unfold. Come experience the forever views and timeless charm that make this property truly one-of-a-kind.
