El Torreon - Luxury Home, Serene Surroundings

SUMMARY

El Torreón is a large comfortable hacienda perfect for retreats and quiet getaways. This home is a stunning example of traditional Pueblo Revival (aka Santa Fe) style, including high ceilings, vigas (wood beams), latias (round or split cedar ceilings), carved corbels, arched doorways, saltillo tile, kiva fireplaces, and signature massive walls making it warm in winter and cool in summer. El Torreon also features an enclosed courtyard with a fountain and fruit trees. It’s very private, yet only five minutes to some of the most popular area restaurants: El Nido, Tesuque Village Market, Skyfire at Bishop's Lodge, and a few minutes more to either the plaza or the Santa Fe Opera.

El Torreon, which means "The Tower," is surrounded by both trees and water -- very rare for Santa Fe area homes. Tesuque Creek is on the west, and the Acequia Madre de Tesuque, part of a 700-year-old network of irrigation ditches, is on the east. Large deciduous trees provide cool shade in the summer, sometimes for deer that wander down from the mountains.  Extensive hiking/walking trails start just off White Boulder Road, and the Windsor Trail is accessible from Bishop's Lodge Road. The Acequia runs in the spring and summer months depending on winter snowfall. Tesuque Creek is 20 ft from the patio, and it is one of the few in the entire area that runs all year.  In the summer months it ranges from a soothing brook to an energetic torrent after a rainstorm in the mountains.

Since this home is part of a quiet community, we ask that it is not rented for parties or celebrations and that music stays at a reasonable indoor volume. In addition, this home is not pet friendly and we ask those with service animals to seek other accommodations due to allergies.

.

BED AND BATH
This spectacular home has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Two master bedrooms have beautiful king-size beds and kiva fireplaces, one private patio and mountain views. There are two spacious bedrooms with Queen size beds, one with a kiva fireplace and French doors to the courtyard. The last bedroom contains two sets of bunk beds.

OUTDOOR SPACE
El Torreon has numerous flagstone patios and portals (covered areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings), a large rooftop deck above with views of the creek and hillside, and an outdoor fireplace. Its location is quiet and private.

Wonderful Getaway

4 separate families came together for a saddened time (funeral) but the fact that we could all be together with plenty of room was amazing. The home was amazing. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to sit. The outside, upstairs sitting area was so relaxing and beautiful. Listening to the nearby creek was very calming.

Great family home for a large gathering

We recently spent a week with our adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren at El Torreon (10 individuals total). This home is gorgeous with plenty of room for socializing, game playing, reading and enjoying the outdoors. Because of COVID-19, we were sociallly distanced and cooked all of our meals in the beautifully appointed and well-equipped kitchen. We had all of our meals outdoors on the patio. There is lots of wildlife to enjoy and hiking trails within a mile's walk. A stream flows right by the home, a sound that is soothing at bedtime. The managers were very responsive to some repair issues, coming out to inspect things within a few hours of a call. Our only suggestion: upgrade the internet to more effectively cover the entire home. (There were a few of the rooms, including both master bedrooms, where there was no coverage). We would love to return at a time when we can more fully enjoy all that Santa Fe has to offer.

Great place

We had a family reunion with 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside spaces and especially the large living room. The master bedrooms were great. We weren't quite prepared for the rugged road leading into the house but overall it was a terrific experience. Thanks Two Casitas!

Great Stay in Santa Fe

This house made a great base for a long weekend exploring Santa Fe! We were a group of ten friends coming from all over the country. The house had several great outside spaces and the kitchen and large room were fantastic places for gathering. As stated in some other reviews and the pictures, there are three nicer bedrooms (two very nice ones!) and two bedrooms that are connected to one another, which aren't quite as nice. But we knew that going in-pictures are accurate, and all beds were still comfortable! Everything was spotless, and we just loved so clearly feeling like we were in the southwest even when we were at the house! We were less than 10 minutes from downtown but still felt so quiet and peaceful. Thanks for a great stay!

The house, layout and decor were just perfect for our family mini-vacation.

The house, layout and decor were just perfect for our family mini-vacation. The Nanny's "wing" of the house, could use some attention with regard to decor and general amenities. We had 3 adults staying in that space and it was a bit embarrassing to have them there when the rest of the house was so lovely. They were also challenged with regard to clothing storage - no closet or hooks to hang clothing?

Our large family loved our stay.

Our large family loved our stay. The property was clean and well appointed. There was room for everyone from toddler twins to grandparents. We would highly recommend this beautiful property. We celebrated a birthday and a belated Christmas while we were in Santa Fe and we talked about how much fun it would be to come back during the summer season! Thank you for helping us make family memories!

The property and your service exceeded my expectations.

The property and your service exceeded my expectations. My 3 adult children and their partners all said it was the best family vacation we’ve ever had. We hope to return soon. Thank you! Excellent service from Two Casitas! They answered all my questions timely and the property exceeded my expectations. I accidentally locked myself out of the house during a snowstorm on Thanksgiving Day. I called Two Casitas and they immediately told me how to locate an extra key and even offered to send an agent to open the house for me again.
