Mescalero is an amazingly beautiful and architecturally significant Estate in Roswell, New Mexico. Originally finished in the late 70s, this masterpiece is a wonderful example of old-world craftsmanship seldom seen today. This magnificent home has a grand entrance through a large, hand carved cypress door with hand forged fixtures reminiscent of old-world castles. One enters this grand home into a large foyer with 10-foot-tall ceilings, hand carved beams and corbels, artisan interior finishes and fabulous antique light fixtures. The interior walls are primarily plaster over masonry and frame and boast quality seldom seen in new construction. Italian tile floors welcome you as your turn and enter the Gallery on the first floor. This Gallery has 16-foot-tall ceilings and was designed and built to showcase artwork and does a magnificent job at doing so. Step down two steps into the Gallery and be awed by the soaring ceilings and massive hand-carved ceiling beams. The Gallery features nichos for artwork with built in lighting to showcase the artwork. A massive fireplace gives a sense of architectural focus and provides a wonderful aesthetic amenity when cold days come. The Gallery features large, south-facing windows for abundant natural light. A pair of French doors lead outside to the brick floored patio with a prominent fountain water feature. Adjacent to the Gallery is the formal dining room featuring a pair of exquisite stained-glass windows from a European castle. A nicho for artwork is prominently featured. In immediate proximity to the formal dining room is the beautiful workplace kitchen featuring custom hardwood cabinetry, gorgeous granite countertops and backsplashes, two ovens and a six-burner gas stove with griddle. Abundant storage will accommodate all kitchen tools and utensils. A breakfast nook inside the kitchen offers informal dining when a formal dining room is not necessary and features a large antique stained-glass window that brings in abundant natural light and color. Mescalero features a grand Master Suite to comfort the owners. The Master Suite is the entire west end of the home and is a fabulous destination. The Master Suite has recently benefitted from a major update and renovation featuring a number of wonderful upgrades: The Master Suite has been finished with ¾ inch solid Brazilian Acacia hardwood floors, and they are beautiful! The cabinetry in the Master Suite has been upgraded to solid (no veneers!), regionally sourced Black Walnut custom-made cabinetry, made by a classically trained artisan. They are exquisite! The Master Suite has beautiful new granite countertops throughout, and the bathroom features a hammer forged copper slipper tub with a grand view of the courtyard and fountain outside. The bathrooms feature hand chiseled stone floors. The Master Suite also features custom made crown molding, and a beautiful Kiva fireplace, 10 foot ceilings, and a magnificent set of hand carved hardwood European castle doors that lead to a private outdoor patio! In addition to the aesthetic renovations, the home has also received substantial mechanical upgrades including new water heaters and softeners, new HVAC, plumbing fixtures and electricals. This Estate boasts hand carved doors, hand made fixtures, Italian tile and bathroom fixtures, exquisite stained-glass features, massive ceiling beams and multiple Kiva fireplaces. This one-of-a-kind home also features 10-16 foot ceilings throughout most of the home.
