HouseSanta Fe (United States)

Architecturally designed, this contemporary-style home on 10 acres surrounded by mature native pines in the highly desirable community of La Tierra Nueva enjoys extraordinary views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, Ortiz, and Sandia Mountains and the twinkling lights of Los Alamos. The entry courtyard with rock walls, a flagstone walkway, a tranquil water feature, and beautiful landscaped gardens introduces the residence, a veritable village of interconnected sections with descending levels that hug the contour of the land and maximize the views. The passive solar design takes advantage of the site and high desert climate, and the home includes four fireplaces. Gathering areas include an entry atrium gallery, a chef's kitchen, a dining room, and a living room. The west wing includes a library or den, a guest room, an office, and a large primary suite with a meditation and yoga area. The east wing offers a media room, studio, or third bedroom suite and a workshop with a cedar closet. A generous rear portal is ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. Approximately 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and 15 minutes from the city’s airport, La Tierra Nueva is a gated equestrian-friendly community with a tennis and pickleball court and access to Bureau of Land Management acreage. The nearby Club at Las Campanas offers social and golf memberships.
