Stunning views, thirteen mountainous acres, an attached guest house, and direct access to boundless trails and National Forest make 39 Overlook an exceptional property. Perched high above Santa Fe just within the gated Overlook subdivision, this multi-level home is designed to savor expansive vistas and inimitable New Mexico sunsets. The over 4,000 square-foot home rises from the mountain side, the 2-car garage at the base, the fully equipped 1BD/1BR casita on the second level, and the main house living levels at the top. Inside the rooms are spacious with oak floors, cherry cabinets, corbels, square cut beams and tongue and groove ceilings. The kitchen enjoys an abundance of natural light with large picture windows framing the expansive basin and mountains beyond. Open to the living room and outfitted with a walk-in pantry and a butler pantry, as well as 6-burner stove, double ovens, counter tops and back splash with artisan tiles, the kitchen will easily accommodate any scale of gathering. The primary bedroom features a corner kiva fireplace and an adjoining sunroom for use as a studio or study, which accesses a covered portal leading to a patio perfect for barbecues and outdoor dining. Two additional rooms on the upper-level function as guest rooms or areas for joint offices, gaming, exercise, art endeavors or study. On the lower level an attached guest house features a wall of glass panels to allow for unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape and passive solar heating. With its own kitchen, dining area, laundry and separate entrance, it is fully self-contained and excellent for guests or as an income generating rental. Here's an opportunity to live in one of the most beautiful settings in Santa Fe. 39 Overlook is peaceful and private - a castle in the air.
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.
