Tucked into a piñon-studded valley above Santa Fe, this Sierra del Norte retreat looks out toward the Sandia-Ortiz Mountains. A meandering drive leads to motor court parking and a treed courtyard with a brick path, arriving at a carved wood front door. Built primarily of adobe brick with portions of frame-and-stucco, the home offers tall ceilings with vigas, arched openings, generous skylights, and walls of windows that bring the landscape in. Brick floors, brick window sills, and kiva fireplaces add authentic Santa Fe warmth throughout. A proper foyer opens to a gallery hall with bancos and wall space for art, and a powder bath serves guests. The open living, dining, and kitchen area suits everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen features stone counters, charcoal stainless steel Bosch refrigerator and gas range, and an eat-in bar. An east-facing morning portal invites coffee and bird watching, while the expansive rear portal, with arbor, bancos, and outdoor fireplace, serves as a second living room. The primary suite has its own kiva fireplace, a closet with custom built-ins, and a spacious bath with a separate shower and a Japanese-style soaking tub framing views of the western sunset. A lower-level office/studio with a private entrance offers space for work or creative pursuits. Outside are a hot tub, fire pit, raised beds, and coyote-fenced yard, plus an oversized two-car garage. Mini-splits and mechanicals updated in recent years add peace of mind. Set on 1.996 acres close to the Sierra del Norte Trailhead and the Dale Ball Trails, and just minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, Ten Thousand Waves, and Ski Santa Fe, this retreat pairs timeless Santa Fe materials with updated interiors.
