Tucked away among tall, mature ponderosa pine trees on a hilltop off of Apache Ridge, this house offers a perfect blend of comfort and style with its high-quality features, an open and inviting layout, and breathtaking views of the natural surroundings. At the end of a little dirt road, it offers a secluded and tranquil feel, yet it's just a quick 5 minute drive away from various dining options (Cafe Fina), shops, and amenities near Eldorado, or a short 15 minute trip to downtown Santa Fe. Sited on a large 6 acre lot surrounded by the natural beauty of the foothills, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is built with 10-inch thick Rastra, a type of insulated concrete that's great for keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer. This material is known for its energy efficiency, it’s sound resistance and being a moisture barrier. The house boasts beautiful stone floors with a semi-gloss finish, wooden beams (vigas) and rough-sawn wood ceilings that add character. The kitchen features elegant granite countertops, maple wood cabinets, and a special type of smooth, colored plaster on the walls. Plus, there are unique, antique doors throughout the house that add a touch of history. There's a lovely deck that's perfect for enjoying the expansive views and dining alfresco, as well as a sheltered outdoor area near the kitchen that's great for hosting gatherings without the worry of wind. Currently, the large garage is being used as a studio space for art, but it can easily be turned back into a garage if needed. There's also a carport for extra parking. This home not only captures the essence of Santa Fe style but also offers practical benefits and a private, peaceful setting.
