Set in the picturesque Tesuque area known for its tall shade trees, and rippling river and acequias, this splendid property with a 3432 sq ft main house and 3014 sq ft guest house sits on 3 parcels of land totaling 2.66 acres. Near the river and the Acequia Madre both homes are traditional Northern New Mexico style, with pitched metal roofs, and big divided windows and doors. Inside, pitched wooden beam and plank high ceilings create tall, open, airy rooms, while wood floors mimic the warmth of the ceilings. The 3 bedroom, 3 full bath main house has a great room with kiva fireplace, wet bar with wine cooler, and opens to a long portal, perfect for entertaining. The spacious kitchen has top appliances, great storage, and is wonderfully open to a gathering room with fireplace and breakfast nook. The main bedroom has the same pitched ceilings as the common areas, kiva fireplace and dual walk-in closets. A gallery hall leads to the other 2 bedrooms. Across the lush grounds dotted with gardens and trees, and down a walkway is the 3 bedroom, 3 bath guest house. The living room opens onto a courtyard and has a kiva fireplace and portal. The user-friendly kitchen has a large island with sink, great appliances and a breakfast nook, with the dining room opening onto a lovely portal. The courtyard separates the main suite from the guest bedrooms. This gated compound is minutes to downtown Santa Fe and backs up to Santa Fe National Forest giving it a secluded, away-from-it all feeling.
