About This Home

As of June 2025

On one of Samarkand's most sought-after streets, this thoughtfully reimagined single level Spanish-style home blends timeless architecture with modern-day sophistication. The approach is unforgettable—lush, artful landscaping delivers year-round beauty, from the vibrant front garden to every corner of the property. Cascading bougainvillea softens the crisp white stucco, while a handcrafted iron gates leads to a walled courtyard sanctuary. Here, a flagstone patio, sculptural fountain, and sweeping mountain views offer the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or effortless alfresco entertaining.

The main house offers two spacious bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, anchored by a sumptuous primary suite featuring vaulted ceilings and a romantic fireplace. (More)
