More than 14 acres gives this custom Santa Fe home a remarkable setting, but it is what has been created within those acres that gives the property its character. The residence and 752-square-foot guest house occupy 6.23 acres, with an adjoining vacant 8-acre parcel included in the sale. Mature trees, established fruit trees, a fenced garden, courtyard spaces and carefully developed landscaping soften the surrounding desert, while mountain views remain part of the backdrop. Inside, Southwestern architecture becomes much more than an exterior style. Massive exposed log beams cross the wood-plank ceiling of the great room, where a brick fireplace provides a strong focal point and French doors connect the interior with the outdoor living areas. The kitchen is finished with granite counters, center island, gas cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, pantry and breakfast bar, with a separate formal dining area nearby. A dedicated den or office adds another useful space. The split primary suite includes a walk-in closet, double vanity and separate tub and shower, along with French doors opening directly to a private patio and the surrounding landscape. The separate 752-square-foot guest house has its own entrance, providing genuine privacy for family or guests while remaining connected to the property as a whole. Outdoors, the living space continues beneath a substantial covered patio with room for dining and gathering, complemented by a built-in BBQ and spa. A three-car garage, separate workshop, private well and owned solar handle the practical side of acreage ownership. Horses are permitted, and the adjoining eight vacant acres add another dimension to the property, with room for horses, additional improvements or simply more land around you.
