You'll love this custom Santa Fe home with a guest house that proves you can have both beauty and brains. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive Village Estates of Rancho Viejo, this thoughtfully designed home blends smart living with timeless Santa Fe charm. Let's start with the brains: 23 owned solar panels creating electric bills under $10 a month. There's a whole-house water filtration/softener system, a hot water recirculating pump on an Alexa plug, a remotely operated irrigation system, and more.
As for the beauty: an inviting new kitchen designed for gathering and gourmet cooking takes center stage in the one-level main house. You'll enjoy generous living and dining areas, a private primary suite with a kiva fireplace, dual custom closets, and a remodeled en suite bath with spa-like finishes. Two guest bedrooms share a full bath, and there's a bright office plus a powder room with a shower--perfect for overnight guests. The living room has a gas fireplace, and there's also a convenient utility room with extensive storage.
Step outside to a welcoming patio accessible from the living room or primary suite. Downstairs, a stylish guest house has its own entrance, living space, bedroom, modern kitchen, full bath, and a walk-out covered patio with an outdoor kitchen--perfect for long-term guests or multi-generational living.
Enjoy unobstructed views of the Ortiz and Sandia Mountains, or wake up to the sunrise over the Sangre de Cristos. Whether it's morning coffee or sunset cocktails, the patios are the perfect place to soak it all in. Situated on 1.25 acres and backing up to a dedicated greenbelt, the property offers privacy and space. And yes, there's an oversized 3-car garage.
When you're ready to explore, Rancho Viejo offers over 12 miles of scenic walking and biking trails--perfect for a morning stroll, evening ride, or spontaneous dog walk. The neighborhood is designed to keep you connected--to nature and to community.
