Nestled under the stars, at the top of the sky, lies a secluded compound, Sky Top Ranch. At the end of a private road, the 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath main house and 2 casitas are perfect for family gatherings or the potential for rental income. Each room in the house has a connection to the outdoors and an established magical pion forest. From the formal dining room, throw open 2 sets of French doors and step out onto a flagstone patio complete with a fire pit and banco, perfect for entertaining. For winter nights, light a fire in the kitchen fireplace and enjoy a big family dinner together. The kitchen has new soapstone countertops, refinished cabinetry, new hardware and a new induction stove top. Just off the kitchen is a spacious studio/bonus room. Outside the kitchen is a pergola and garden with a gurgling "river", the sound of which flows through all three dwellings. The living room, with new fire place, shares a new end grain wood floor with the primary bedroom and powder bath. New sliding French doors in both rooms lead to a deck with a new kiva fireplace, perfect for early morning, sunrise breakfasts or sunset cocktails. The primary bathroom has been re-envisioned with new tile, Ceasarstone countertop, copper sinks, a wet room that includes a rain head shower and a soaking tub all while maintaining the authentic cabinetry. This property has many traditional New Mexican details like vigas, latillas and kiva fireplaces but also high windows to let in lots of light, views and cool Santa Fe breezes. Around the corner from Harry's Roadhouse and a short ten minutes to the plaza, many updates include new windows, new stucco and gutters, water catchment system for landscape, new mini splits in both casitas as well as updated showers.
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.
