Designed for gracious Santa Fe living, this luxurious private sanctuary combines warmth, charm, and true elegance. Perched on a hillside on famed Upper Canyon Road, the walled and gated estate underwent a meticulous reconstruction, resulting in a singular home with formal entertaining rooms; quiet quarters for restful repose; and magnificent grounds that include an enticing swimming pool and hot tub, an open-air dining room; and impressive, thoughtfully chosen landscaping. In scale and detail, the residence recalls a regal European manor perfect for the grandest of entertaining, but careful planning and a well-considered floor plan have created an inviting home affording serenity, seclusion, and relaxation. Replete with windows, the rooms are inextricably linked with the views and the landscape, and they have a graceful flow that extends naturally to the outdoors. Throughout, raised ceilings create an airy quality; hand-scraped walnut floors add to the formal sophistication; and murals and other hand-painted accents add a colorful, whimsical element. Among the highlights in the grand living room are dramatic ballroom doors, a classical fireplace, vigas with painted details, and French doors to a portal with a built-in grill, a sweeping vista, and stairs to an enviable roof deck. A spacious family room features plentiful built-in cabinets and shelves, a custom sound system, and windows that look out over an expansive patio and swimming pool toward mountains and sunsets.
