167 Acres. Two Deeded Parcels. Architect Designed Home. Remarkable Sense of Place near Santa Fe. Rarely does this much land, privacy and possibility come together so close to Santa Fe. Set above the historic landscape of Cerrillos, 39 Gopeyka Canyon encompasses 167 acres across two contiguous deeded parcels, with views spanning the Cerrillos Hills, Ortiz Mountains, Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Jemez Range. The property comprises approximately 87 acres with the residence and a separate 80-acre undeveloped parcel—an increasingly rare opportunity for those seeking privacy, a family compound, equestrian use, private retreat, or the freedom to preserve a remarkable expanse of New Mexico land. Approached from historic Goldmine Road and reached from Santa Fe along the scenic Turquoise Trail, the property occupies a landscape shaped by centuries of Native American, Spanish and Mexican history and the storied mining era of the Cerrillos Hills. At the heart of the land is an approximately 3,343-square-foot Modern Territorial residence designed by Santa Fe architect Robin Gray. Created to belong to its surroundings rather than compete with them, the home reflects the architectural character of the region. Hand-troweled plaster walls, exposed vigas, substantial reclaimed beams, Saltillo tile floors, three traditional kiva fireplaces and softly sculpted architectural details bring warmth and authenticity to the interiors. The residence offers three bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths, along with a library, media room, two studios and three-car garage. Radiant floor heating on both levels, seven mini-split air-conditioning units, a private well, water rights, new boiler, Rinnai tankless water heater, new irrigation system, fully re-stuccoed in (2025) and new septic (2026). More than a home, this is a New Mexican sanctuary – a rare convergence of panoramic vistas, timeless craftmanship, and unspoiled land – offering a lifestyle that is increasingly impossible to replicate.
