Architecturally designed, Contemporary-style home located in the highly desirable community of La Tierra Nueva. This residence is privately sited on 10 acres surrounded by mature, native pines. Extraordinary views to the Sangre de Cristos and Jemez ranges where the lights of Los Alamos twinkle at night some 30 miles away and sweeping views of the Ortiz and Sandia Mountains to the south. The entry courtyard is defined by rock walls, a flagstone walkway, tranquil water feature and beautiful, landscaped gardens. The residence forms its own village of interconnected sections with descending levels that hug the contour of the land to maximize the views. The home's passive solar design takes advantage of the site and high desert climate to maximize energy use. Gathering areas of the home include an entry atrium/gallery, chef's kitchen, dining room and living room. The west wing includes a library/den, guest room, office and a large primary suite w/ meditation/yoga area. The east wing offers a media room/studio or third bedroom ensuite and a workshop with a cedar closet. A generous covered back portal is ideal for entertaining friends or intimate outdoor dining. There are four fireplaces in all. La Tierra Nueva is a gated, equestrian friendly community with a tennis/pickleball court and access to BLM land. It is located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and 15 minutes to the Santa Fe Airport. The Club at Las Campanas is minutes away with social and golf memberships available for purchase and upon approval.
