In an ideal location in Campo Conejos, this inviting custom three-bedroom home enjoys peaceful privacy and enviable wide-open views of the Sangre de Cristos and their foothills. Thoughtful use of warm natural hues, numerous windows, and well-placed skylights contributes to a lovely glow and welcoming ambience that fills nearly every space. A foyer with ample closets flows to a spacious living room with a soaring ceiling, a corner kiva fireplace, and French doors to a wraparound portal and an expansive brick terrace designed for appreciation of mountain vistas and Santa Fe’s temperate weather. Adjoining are a dining room and a sunny well-equipped kitchen, both of which also open to the rear courtyard. The three bedrooms are well separated from the public spaces; originally designed as an office, one bedroom benefits from an en suite half bath and a private entrance from the front courtyard. The 1.5-acre property, which includes a water-catchment system, is lush with well-established raised garden beds, grape vines, and mature producing apple, peach, pear, and cherry trees. In addition to an oversized two-car garage with a walk-in closet, the home offers a separate one-car garage with awning windows that would also make an ideal studio or workshop. Other highlights include roof-mounted solar panels, central air conditioning, and radiant heating. The neighborhood is secluded and brimming with native flora, trails, and wildlife yet is only minutes from the conveniences of town.
