Nestled at the base of Sun and Moon Mountains, this exquisite adobe residence designed by Ken Mackenzie, and its charming casita, offer unparalleled views and masterful craftsmanship. Set amidst dramatic rock outcroppings, the home is accessed via a flagstone staircase surrounded by mature landscaping and a cascading water feature.
Inside, curvaceous adobe walls create a seamless flow between distinct living areas. The cozy family room, featuring built-in bookshelves, banco seating, and a wood-burning fireplace, opens to a chef’s kitchen with generous storage and ample prep-space. Adjacent to the kitchen, an intimate dining room is elevated above the living area, providing both a sense of architectural interest and breathtaking views of the Jemez Mountains and city lights. Two sets of sliding doors open to a mahogany deck, extending the living space and inviting you to enjoy the airy interplay between interior and exterior spaces.
The primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with two bedrooms, one of which enjoys a kiva fireplace and a secluded flagstone patio, while the other can serve as a versatile office, den, or exercise space, with access to a private deck and incredible views. Both bedrooms share a spa-inspired bathroom with a double vanity and soaking tub, as well as a half bath. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a stylish 3/4-bath. Coved ceilings, plaster walls, built-ins and nichos enhance the charm and warmth of the home.
An elevated 624-square-foot casita captures stunning views from its large windows and west-facing deck. The light-filled floor plan includes a kitchenette and 3/4-bath. An additional 130-square foot studio can be used for a variety of purposes. The exceptional foothill location provides immediate access to hiking trails and nearby Museum Hill. The property is well-maintained with pride of ownership reflected in the newer roof, stucco and mini-splits for cooling. Sited on 4.7 acres, this property is the perfect blend of peaceful living, stunning design, and unmatched views—truly a one-of-a-kind home.
