Secluded Home on 1 Acre (1 mile from Plaza)

Perched on a full acre overlooking the hills of Santa Fe, this beautifully renovated 1963 home offers the rarest of combinations: stunning seclusion and unbeatable proximity. You’ll feel like you’re miles away, with breathtaking views in every direction — sunrise to the east, sunset to the west, and sweeping southern views across Santa Fe and beyond — yet you're just one mile (a 15-minute walk) from the historic Plaza. Homes with this level of privacy and scenery are usually far from town, making this location truly exceptional.

Thoughtfully renovated, the home retains its original charm while featuring modern updates to the kitchen and baths. It’s the ideal Zen retreat for quiet reflection — or an inspired gathering space for friends and family, complete with a baby grand piano ready to set the mood. The private drive accommodates 3 cars comfortably. Enjoy your morning coffee in the front courtyard with a bistro table and bench, or gather on the “infinity patio,” where 8 Adirondack chairs and a fire pit invite long evenings of conversation under the stars. Deer and hummingbirds are frequent visitors to this peaceful perch.

One guest summed it up best: "I didn’t want to leave."

Please Note:
In addition to the main home, the property has a separate studio “Casita.” The Casita is not included with this rental and is used by the owner, his friends, or family.

For a little more information on the setup: The Casita and the main house share a common “Entry Room” (similar to a mud room). The Entry Room is separate from both the main house and the Casita, with each residence having its own private entrance. From the Entry Room, there is a stairway leading up to the Casita and a front door leading into the main house.

The Casita was added above the living area of the original home, but it was constructed with approximately a two-foot gap between the original roof of the main home and the floor of the Casita. As a result, the two residences are separate structures with no meaningful noise transmission between them.

Regardless, please rest assured that you will have complete privacy and exclusive use of the original home (aside from the shared driveway and entry areas) throughout your stay.

Pets: Dogs only, please. Unfortunately, cats are not permitted due to the owner’s severe allergy to cats. Thank you for your understanding.
