Starry Night at the Opera

This adobe sanctuary located on three acres in the sought-after community of Casas de San Juan is the ideal spot for a quiet and luxurious visit to Santa Fe.

Tesuque is located just north of Santa Fe and this property is adjacent to the world-famous Santa Fe Opera.

Approximately 5,000 sq ft of living space will be found in the main house with a separate casita. This property boasts 360-degree views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico Badlands, and Atalaya Peak, all with wonderful privacy in a community with a 24-hour gatekeeper.

Enter the front gate to this home and you are greeted with a lovely front patio with rock garden and fountain. As you walk into the home, you will be mesmerized with fabulous views off the back Grand Portal.

The main house has three bedrooms (the casita makes it four total), four baths, a kiva room, and a meditation/workout room with five fireplaces and wonderful outdoor space. Each living area brings character and livable/ workable space.

The massive beams and corbels and kiva fireplace welcome you to our warm living room bounding with ado.be architecture. A dining room is adjacent to the living space and is perfect for an intimate dinner party or a holiday meal with family and friends. The ceilings are classic latillas and beams.

In addition to the formal living and dining room, there is a sweet banco kitchen area with a table for seated meals, as well as an adjacent work space. The laundry room is centrally located off the kitchen in the main house, with a separate laundry in the casita. And, the adjacent galley kitchen has all the cook will need with a gas stove and the cabinets are traditional tin finish and are complimented with flagstone floors and southwestern flair. 

The Kiva Room library is off the living room-it is a cozy and special spot to listen to music, enjoy a glass of wine at the wet bar, watch a movie with the family, or select a book from the library.

The Master Suite offers a king bed, kiva fireplace, fabulous bath with natural rock formations surrounding a deep spa tub, steam shower, double sinks, and a sauna. From the master suite, you will find a hidden gem patio/pergola including a hot tub and plunging cold-water tub with spectacular views of the Jemez and Badlands as well as the Sangre de Cristos.

The second master suite is perched upstairs, and the views can take your breath away. Here you will find another king with full bath, hardwood floors and a small off-suite deck with views of Santa Fe's Eastern ·Mountains, for a quiet morning coffee, or evening cocktail.

Through the garage, you will find bedroom suite #3 with another king bed, bath, and mini kitchen. This suite has a private access to the exterior of the house, in case you need a space for late-night guests, assistant, or nanny. This room also has good accessibility for any guest who wishes to limit use of stairs.

In addition to the third bedroom suite is a quiet, contemplative mediation, yoga or workout room with sofa bed and outdoor access.

As if this magical space is not enough, there is a separate casita with amazing views of our Sangre de Cristo range. It's a cozy casita with full bath, mini kitchen, laundry and queen size bed. Enjoy the view and the kiva fireplace or watch the sunrise from the private portal with the best views imaginable.

Stay for a few days or a few months. This grand property will accommodate your small, well-behaved dog but due to family allergies, no felines please. The two car garage is off limits to any vehicles.
