A Santa Fe home built for hosting, and a second home that pays for itself. Six bedrooms, six baths and four private suites on five acres in Sunlit Hills, 16 minutes from the Plaza. Permitted as a short-term rental through Santa Fe County and rated in the top 5% of homes on Airbnb, it has averaged about $205,000 a year in rental income over the past three years while still serving as the owners' own getaway.
It sits well back from the road in the piñon, with open views of the Sandia and Ortiz Mountains. No HOA.
Four of the six bedrooms are private suites: one in the main-level bedroom wing, two on levels of their own, and one in a guest apartment with a separate ground-level entrance. The living room, dining room, kitchen and three bedrooms share the main level. It lives like a private compound, with room for a houseful to gather and space for everyone to retreat.
Inside are high ceilings with vigas and a kitchen built around a commercial range and an eat-in island. Outside are a large fire pit, a kiva fireplace with built-in seating, covered patios, a hot tub and a sauna.
Fully renovated in 2023, the home is offered turnkey and can convey fully furnished, with an experienced local management and housekeeping team in place. Financials are available on request. Buyer to verify short-term rental permitting with Santa Fe County.
Use it as a private retreat or a gathering place, operate it as a rental, or do both, as the owners have.
