A rare opportunity to own an adobe compound priced $550,000 below a recent appraisal. This compound off exclusive Upper Canyon Road with casita and studio offers views, and lush grounds. Discretely hidden behind gates on a quiet cul-de-sac in Santa Fe’s historic East Side, this adobe compound offers privacy, protected views, and access to nature. Set on 1.14 acres, the fully fenced and landscaped property enjoys vistas of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains. Designed by architect Paula Baker, author of Healthy Home, the custom residence was thoughtfully built in the early 1990s. The main house has four bedrooms, four baths, and multiple living areas. The open-concept living area connects kitchen, dining, and living spaces with easy access to private quarters. A detached guest casita includes two bedrooms, a bath, and a kitchenette. A separate studio, office, or gym provides flexible space. The primary suite features private patios with sweeping views, an office, multiple closets, and a spa-style bath. Architectural highlights include six fireplaces, vigas, latillas, antique doors, wood and brick floors, and abundant natural light. Heating includes ductless mini-splits, radiant flooring, and forced air. A detached two-car garage completes the residence. Outdoor living includes a front portal, multiple patios, a stream, and waterfall celebrated in the book Secret Gardens of Santa Fe. Private access across the road to protected hiking trails that connects to the Dorothy Stewart trail and Dale Ball Trail system. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, thoughtfully designed adobe compound in one of Santa Fe’s most desirable East Side locations.
