In the quaint village of Galisteo lies this gracious and majestic home with adjoining 5 acre lot, for a total of 10 acres, known as 'Hacienda del Sol." One hundred years ago was the site of the Old Galisteo School House. The original 1886 bell and corner stone 1938 were placed within the walls of this present day home. Built atop of a gentle hill with stunning views of the Galisteo Basin, Sangre de Cristos and Jemez Mountains along with huge white puffy cloud formations in a brilliant blue sky greet you everyday. Large rooms with cathedral ceilings flooded with light, sculptured fireplaces, oak and pine floors with 10 foot elegantly carved doors delight the eye upon entering. Screened in, is a lovely outdoor patio with vast, distant views. A gallery hallway runs the length of the house craving art, paintings, photographs, memorabilia. A chef's kitchen with a six burner stove, center islands, prep sinks has everything one would want. An elegant dining room with arched walls, subtle lighting, and carved cabinets allow for many guests or small intimate settings. Three Bedroom suites each with fireplaces and luscious bathrooms are perfectly placed for privacy. An attached "casita" with kitchen and bath is off one of the wings of the home. Outside, there is a circular, walled patio area for summer gatherings and moon lit nights. Included in this fabulous property is a blue gate opening up to an adjoining 5 acre parcel of vacant land accessed off of Camino San Cristobal used for pleasure or as additional acreage for another home, studio, horses, and imagination.

The Turquoise Trail! A beautiful road from Santa Fe all the way to Albuquerque. With many lots 2.5 acres or more, this area is perfect for raising horses on wide open spaces with fewer building restrictions than in the city of Santa Fe. The famous Eaves Movie Ranch where movies like “The Cheyenne Social Club” and “Silverado”were filmed completes the Old West feeling.
This rapidly growing area with plans for expansion extending into the 2050’s is largely made up of rolling hills dotted with pinon and juniper. Most of the communities located here have extraordinary views of the Jemez, the Sangres and the Sandias.
