Welcome to Casa Cielo, a magical mountain top estate on 9.44 acres, just 20 minutes from Santa Fe's historic plaza. This extraordinary home was designed by renowned New Mexico architect William Lumpkins, and offers spectacular, panoramic views stretching from the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the Sandias. A beautifully remodeled kitchen by Santa Fe designer Trey Jordan boasts stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a breakfast nook with access to a wrap-around deck, and an abundance of natural light. The skillfully mastered living room has 15' wood-beamed ceilings, a broad rock wall with a fireplace, and expansive windows. These also lead to the deck, where you'll find a sunken Japanese spa with gorgeous distant views. The other rooms in this refined home are equally as impressive, with flagstone and brick flooring throughout. Casa Cielo is a green solar home with several sophisticated recent upgrades. You'll find as you explore this tranquil property a large, detached private studio, a charming writer's cabin, and an enveloping sky above.
As the Old Santa Fe Trail winds north, these lovely, heavily-forested communities run alongside. Located in the foothills of the Sangres, the lower elevations provide rolling hills of pinon and juniper with the high-elevation nestled in mountainous terrain. All have wonderful views of the Sandias and famous Santa Fe sunsets. Most lots start at 2.5 acres and some are over ten.
