23 Lavadero Road, Santa Fe, NM 87506 - Santa Fe County

Peace. Privacy. Serenity. This two-home estate in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Efthimios Maniatis, is one of only a few in Santa Fe constructed with rammed earth, an ancient building method noted for its beauty, quiet, and energy efficiency. It will never need painting, and it will last 500 years, if not more.”

Despite being only 14 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, 11 to the Santa Fe Opera, 6 to Four Seasons Resort, and 5 to hip Tesuque Village Market, this estate feels a world apart, with no near neighbors and sweeping panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jemez Mountains, and northern badlands from almost all rooms and two expansive Trex roof decks. Both homes were completely remodeled in 2024, with new roofs, kitchens, baths, closets, boilers, whole-home water purification, and smart home systems, including security, audio, fast internet, and thermostats. New living room “wall of windows” slides completely open to the patio, where you can dine to music as the sunset paints the mountains orange. The upstairs is a private owners’ retreat, with the primary bedroom and a “snug” for reading and relaxing to more panoramic views. Both homes are professionally decorated in the organic modern style; this furniture, all new in 2024, is available in a separate package, to make your move easy. The 2BR/2BA guest house is a licensed short-term rental with projected first-year rents of $100K and bookings already stretching through next August. (Future bookings are transferable to you.) This one-of-a-kind, my-oh-my gorgeous, relax-and-breathe-deep retreat may just be your forever home.
