Perched at 8,000 feet on six private acres overlooking the Santa Fe National Forest, this architecturally unique home offers a rare opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Santa Fe. This mountain home feels like a retreat that is worlds away from the pace of everyday life yet Santa Fe's galleries, restaurants, and cultural offerings are just a scenic 20-minute drive down the mountain. This home is ideal for guests seeking privacy, nature, creativity, and the restorative pace of mountain living. The 1,800-square-foot home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, central heating and air conditioning, and a warm, inviting open floor plan centered around dramatic timber framing and walls of windows that bring the outdoors in. Designed by a local passive-solar architect, the home is filled with natural light and blends rustic mountain character with thoughtful design and modern comfort. The open-concept living space is perfect for entertaining and includes a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, and comfortable living room centered around a wood-burning stove and a massive projector screen. Music lovers will appreciate the whole-home Sonos sound system, perfect for everything from movie nights to enjoying your favorite albums while watching the sunset alpenglow. Owned by a local artist and actor, the home is filled with handcrafted details, original artwork, handwoven rugs, Noguchi lamps, and custom furniture, including a striking live-edge walnut dining table built by the owners. Every room reflects a love of craftsmanship, creativity, and the handmade. One of the property's unique features is a passive-solar meditation dome perched above the house. Surrounded by forest and mountain views, it offers a peaceful space for meditation, yoga, writing, creative work, or simply sitting quietly with the landscape. The landscape itself is a highlight. This high-elevation ecosystem is home to ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, pinon pine, yucca, arroyo chamisa, and abundant wildlife. Outside, a large deck overlooks the forest and distant ridgelines, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening stargazing under New Mexico's clear skies. A separate outdoor entertaining area features a shaded pergola, grill, landscaped gardens, and bistro lighting for gathering with friends and family. The property is exceptionally private, with only a few neighboring homes visible. Escape the noise of modern living and wake to birdsong and the breeze moving through the pines, spend the day exploring nearby trails directly from the property, and end the evening beneath dark skies blanketed with stars. The home is particularly well suited for artists, writers, remote workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a retreat-like setting immersed in nature and the unique rhythm of mountain living. Whether you're seeking a creative retreat, an extended stay surrounded by nature, or a peaceful home base for exploring Northern New Mexico, this mountain sanctuary offers an authentic Santa Fe experience defined by beauty, privacy, and connection to the landscape. 30 day rental Amenities 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms 1,800 square feet Six private acres Central heat and air conditioning Wood-burning stove Fully equipped kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining Breville espresso machine, V60 pour-over, French press, and drip coffee maker Reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water Large projector screen with Apple TV Whole-home Sonos audio system Home gym with dumbbells and yoga equipment Meditation dome Large deck with mountain views Outdoor entertaining area with pergola, grill, and bistro lights Hiking access from the property Pet-friendly Dog door that opens onto approximately 1.5 acres of fenced mountain terrain High-speed internet Well water, septic system, and propane cooking/heating Good to Know Located in a quiet gated mountain community Approximately 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe via winding mountain roads Four parking spaces AWD or 4WD required during winter and snowy conditions A mile and a half of steep dirt roads to access the home Multiple levels and stairs throughout the home Elevation approximately 8,000 feet Mail and food delivery unavailable Monthly rental.
