This High Desert, custom built Scott Patrick home is a classic Southwest stunner done in a modern fashion. From the two mature Aspen trees in front, to the expansive views outback, this house shines in its functionality and charm. A brand-new combo heat/cool unit will ensure year-round comfort, and the expansive master bath affords one the time to relax and decompress. High Ceilings in the Living and dining area add a sense of expansiveness to your everyday living. All in all, a lovely, well-built home.
High Desert, located between Tramway Blvd NE and the Sandia Mountain foothills, is a master-planned and hillside Albuquerque neighborhood with terraced streets and desert trailheads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Desert Plaza area near Academy Rd NE and Tramway Blvd NE, where patios, small studios, and local storefronts set a low-key, outdoors-forward rhythm. Signature community pillars include High Desert Yoga, High Desert Bicycles, and the High Desert Farmers’ Market. Homes lean Southwestern and contemporary, with stucco lines, stone accents, and view-oriented lots. Arroyos, native landscaping, and open-space corridors shape daily routines around walking loops and sunset overlooks. The foothill setting brings cooler evenings and a quiet, sky-focused atmosphere.
