Overview

Make sure to check out the video: https://youtu.be/fKCzca2qaEk and how it was built video: https://youtu.be/cbc08BCr3vs This magnificent Spanish-inspired masterpiece, expertly designed by Santa Fe architect John T. Midyette III, exudes character and elegance around every turn, blurring the lines between ancient and modern architecture. Over five acres of mature trees and established gardens enhance the sense of absolute privacy and create an effortless connection with its picturesque natural environment. The single-story ranch layout stretches over 6,630sqft and is simply spectacular, with no detail overlooked, from the soaring vigas overhead to the exquisite handmade details, Saltillo tiles, and oversized windows that draw in soft natural light. There are four bedrooms, a dedicated office, five bathrooms, and a selection of sumptuous living spaces while daily life is sure to revolve around the gourmet chef?s kitchen. A true chef?s dream, this inspired culinary oasis showcases gorgeous hand-decorated Talavera tiles alongside a suite of premium appliances, a beautiful copper hood, cherry cabinets, and a large walk-in pantry. A sun-drenched indoor atrium is nestled off the kitchen for indoor plants. You?re also treated to a living room and a family room with plank cherry floors and access to the deck. As you might expect with a home of this caliber, the long list of extra features is awe-inspiring. The five-acre property has a full-sized tennis court, sizeable walk-out basement with a game room and wet bar, three traditional kiva wood-burning fireplaces, 8.5? thick, urethane-filled concrete walls, a 50-year transferable warranty on the Spanish tile roof, and handmade rough cedar interior doors, including French entrance doors. An oversized attached three-car garage adds convenience, and a detached two-car garage with electricity could be converted into a barn or shop. Most windows and sliding glass doors were replaced by Pella in 2020.
