Architectural Gem in Sangre de Cristo Foothills!

Casa Tierra is a stunning architectural gem set on 5-plus acres in the rolling foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, with breathtaking 300-degree views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountain ranges. Easy access to the restaurants and galleries of Santa Fe Plaza, and yet nestled in the beautiful hills outside of Tesuque, Casa Tierra is the perfect place for family gatherings and extended stays in the Santa Fe area.

This spacious 3,212 sf home with 133 sf casita will amaze you from the moment you walk through the double doors and into the lofted plaster and stone entryway. Designed in a unique V-shape to take advantage of the panoramic views, and laid out with mathematical precision––the home boasts soaring wood-trussed ceilings, amazing light via numerous strategically-placed skylights, a massive fireplace with custom copper enclosure, and an open multi-level floor plan.

Casa Tierra's open living areas invite you to slow down and savor every beautiful moment. While-away the afternoon on the leather chaise with a book and million-dollar views, hunker down for a nap in the comfortable study with wood-burning kiva fireplace, or cozy-up on the huge sectional for movie night. This is what vacations are all about.

The large chef’s kitchen features KitchenAid, Bosch and Wolf appliances, copper sink, reverse osmosis filtered drinking water, a full assortment of kitchen cookware and utensils, leathered granite countertops, and a bar with seating for four. The adjacent dining area includes a 9-foot dining table with seating for 8, and is framed by a row of windows displaying 100-mile daytime desert views, and the twinkling city lights of Pojoaque at night––just 8 miles to the north.

The master bedroom is a natural oasis, with lofted wood ceilings, a linen-covered king bed, artful decorations, a luxurious ensuite bathroom with walk-in marble shower, and eye-popping views of Northern New Mexico through two massive wood-framed sliding glass doors and transom windows.

At the other end of the main house and down a gorgeous glass-encased hallway is a second bedroom with two queen beds, lofted wood ceilings, a sitting porch, and a recently remodeled ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower.

The study serves as an optional 3rd bedroom and includes a fold-out couch with full-size bed, built-in desk, and kiva––and opens to a spacious wisteria-covered patio.

The adjacent casita is a peaceful enclave––with wood-framed sliding glass doors on three sides, incredible views of the mountain scenery, a queen bed, and a compact but charming ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.

Outdoor areas are the star of the show at Casa Tierra, with patios, sidewalks and planters lining the sides of the modern V-shaped home. A large flagstone patio at the tip of the “V” is surrounded by mature aspen trees and shrubbery, with modern patio furniture and a Weber Professional charcoal grill. The west side of the house includes an elevated covered patio, with dining table and seating for 6, and connects to the patio just outside the master suite.

The home features radiant floor and baseboard heat, and mini-split A/C units throughout for cooling during the late summer months.
