Nestled at the end of private drive, this Northern New Mexico-style home (built 2011) offers something rare: privacy, open space, and low operating costs, all just 25 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. Set on over 6 acres with mountain views, enjoy morning coffee on the patio as the sun rises or unwind with a hike on your own land as sunset settles over the Ortiz and Sandia ranges. Constructed with insulated concrete forms (ICF), thick walls provide exceptional insulation. Natural wood beams, high ceilings, and large windows connect the interior to the surrounding landscape. In-floor radiant heat and a wood-burning stove add comfort. The kitchen, remodeled in 2023, blends clean design with environmentally conscious materials, including Wilsonart® THINSCAPE performance countertops. Made from a sustainable, high-density engineered composite and GREENGUARD Gold certified, these sleek surfaces offer low maintenance and an eco-friendly footprint. Generous cabinetry and open flow into the living space create relaxed, everyday living. The main level has new flooring throughout. Downstairs there's a spacious primary bedroom and renovated bath (which could easily be modified to include a second bathroom). Upstairs, two bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative space, with access to a deck overlooking the acreage. A fully owned solar system covers most electrical usage, reducing utility costs and supporting a sustainable lifestyle. A metal roof, newly installed radon mitigation system, recent pre-inspection with health and safety items addressed, and hog-wire perimeter fencing provide practical peace of mind. Horses are allowed, offering future possibilities. This is a home for someone who values independence without isolation, land to explore, space to breathe, and a thoughtfully built retreat less than a half hour from downtown Santa Fe.
