1404 Tesuque Creek Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87501

Located in the coveted and gated Santa Fe Summit near Ten Thousand Waves and on the edge of hundreds of square miles of national forest yet only a few minutes drive to downtown Santa Fe and 12 miles on up to the ski basin (base elevation of 10,300ft) for all the alpine recreation you could want. Would be a perfect chalet for skiers and hikers. This interesting home, with many unusual architectural details (see attachment), built by the architect owner for himself steps up the wooded hillside in 4 giant strides alongside the seasonal creek. Enter the home in the middle of the house via a large, pitched roof, portal. The front door finds you in a grand entry foyer with 2 big columns with their heads bathed in light from the skylights above and usher you into the spacious living room. To the left of the foyer is an expansive combo kitchen and dining area with French doors to the back patio. Off the kitchen is the guest bedroom suite set up as an office. On the other side of the house is the primary suite beginning with a cozy sitting/office room complete with fireplace and on up to the the rest of the suite. The bedroom is large and well proportioned with good light, a substantial walk-in closet and elegant bathroom with Jacuzzi tub; and outside access to the upper bridge across the creek. No Mansion Tax. If you want a home in a quiet location away from Santa Fe’s urban hubbub, yet easily accessible to all of its great amenities, this could be your peaceful place nestled in the woods.
