Perched high upon Circle Drive, a prestigious enclave off Bishop's Lodge Road, this exceptional Pueblo-style gated estate delivers an unparalleled combination of sophisticated design and some of the finest panoramic views in Santa Fe. The main residence features carved wood doors, diamond plaster walls, and a seamless, light-filled open layout that connects a formal living room with soaring ceilings, picture windows, and a grand fireplace. An epicurean chef's kitchen boasting granite countertops and professional-grade appliances offers unrivaled mountain views. Intimate dining is anchored by a traditional kiva fireplace and access to the aspen tree viewing deck.
The upper-level primary sanctuary offers a spa-caliber bath, an expansive walk-in wardrobe, and outdoor decks, complemented by a spacious bedroom with its own fireplace and attached executive office or TV den. The main level offers a guest suite with its own study, while the lower level features a large entertainer's den with a fireplace and an additional guest suite. Through a breezeway, a bright, self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest casita features a full kitchen, kiva fireplace, authentic tile flooring, and a private view portal ready for memories to be made. A gated motor court provides room for guest parking, while an attached two-car garage offers ample protection from the outside elements. The outdoor oasis centers around a unique entertaining portal with fireplace, grilling station, stone paths leading to garden patios, a pristine swimming pool, and a separate hot tub--all framing unobstructed vistas of the rolling foothills and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, just minutes from the historic Plaza and Canyon Road galleries.
