About This Home
Set atop a private ridgeline with more than seven acres of pristine land, this remarkable residence is both a sanctuary and a celebration of Santa Fe’s cultural and architectural heritage. Designed in the late 1920s by John Gaw Meem, one of New Mexico’s most influential architects, the home exemplifies the Spanish Pueblo Revival style that helped define Santa Fe’s visual identity. Encompassing over 6,000± square feet, this classic triple-adobe hacienda is rich with craftsmanship and character. Hand-carved wooden doors, more than two centuries old, welcome you into spaces graced with flagstone and oak plank floors, massive vigas, and hand-hewn willow herringbone ceilings—each element adding warmth, texture, and timeless appeal. The main residence offers four bedrooms and four baths, complemented by two charming guest casitas. The bright kitchen features a breakfast nook that opens to multiple patios and courtyards, perfect for dining al fresco while taking in the far-reaching mountain views. Distinctive architectural moments define the home: a gracious adobe-arched dining room, coved ceilings, and divided-light windows that fill the interiors with natural light. A studio—originally used in the 1930s by artist McHarg Davenport of The Rio Grande Painters—serves as a creative retreat with soaring split cedar ceilings, and access to a rooftop viewing area, ideal for sunsets and stargazing. The location is exceptional—completely private yet nearby Santa Fe’s historic Plaza, the Santa Fe Opera and approximately 25 minutes to Ski Santa Fe. A rare example of Meem’s early work and an irreplaceable part of Santa Fe’s architectural legacy, this property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of New Mexico’s living history.
