Location, Location--and Priced Below Appraisal - Featured in The Santa Fe New Mexican's December Real Estate Guide, this 3,366 sq. ft. adobe sanctuary in Tesuque is a rare fusion of artistry, nature, and architectural integrity. Just 8 minutes from the Plaza and nestled on 0.77 lush acres beside the seasonal Tesuque Creek, the property offers serenity, soul, and sustainability. The land has been gently restored through regenerative landscaping--reintroducing native wildflowers, birds, and wildlife pathways that honor the land's natural rhythms. Built by master Santa Fe artisans, the 3BD/3.5BA home celebrates timeless design with flagstone floors, vigas, split cedar ceilings, and walls that shift organically from adobe to stone. At the heart is the open kitchen and dining area, renovated with natural stone counters and designed for entertaining. French doors open to a covered portal with a natural gas firepit for gathering under the stars or summer monsoons. Two unique living rooms offer distinct experiences:- One, originally crafted for Japanese tea ceremony, features a pitched ceiling and a glass wall that frames the forested garden.- The second centers around a dramatic fireplace and leads to a ground-level primary suite with cedar-lined closet and fenced garden with fruit trees and pollinator plants.Upstairs are two guest suites, each with en suite baths; one includes a private deck and infrared sauna--an elevated retreat in the treetops.Extras include an automatic gate, a contemplative labyrinth, a private well with 3-acre feet of water rights, EV charger, handcrafted workshop, and arroyo access to nearby hiking and the Lower Windsor Trailhead.1330 Bishops Lodge is a soulful, artful expression of intentional living.
The picturesque, incorporated village of Tesuque enjoys a rural feel (there are still horse properties here) and is only five minutes north of Santa Fe, just beyond Bishop’s Lodge.
