Luxurious Santa Fe Ridge Retreat

Featured in Architectural Digest and Dwell
Available for monthly and extended stays by private arrangement.

Privately positioned along a ridgeline overlooking Santa Fe’s high desert, this architecturally significant 3800 sq ft residence offers scale, privacy, and uninterrupted western views across the Jemez Mountains. Designed by an internationally recognized interior designer and published in Architectural Digest and Dwell, the home reflects a disciplined “organic modern” aesthetic rooted in landscape and light — refined, intentional, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Entry is through a walled courtyard and substantial wooden door, revealing a formal foyer that opens into a grand living room anchored by a statement fireplace. Expansive glass walls frame the horizon and retract to connect seamlessly with an oversized terrace featuring its own wood-burning fireplace — designed for sophisticated indoor-outdoor entertaining at scale.

The formal dining room accommodates 8–10 guests with ease. Adjacent, the designer kitchen is both functional and architectural, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and appointed with a substantial island, dual ovens, three sinks, dedicated coffee station, oversized refrigeration, walk-in pantry, and separate bar with beverage refrigeration. The layout supports both private chef service and elevated personal use.

A secondary den offers a more intimate setting with an oversized wood-burning fireplace, feather-filled seating, large-format television, and a glass desk suitable for a discreet executive workspace.

The primary suite occupies its own private wing. A king canopy bed faces expansive desert views, complemented by a skycove window seat and fireplace. The spa bath includes dual vanities, walk-through closet, glass shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned to capture panoramic vistas. French doors provide direct terrace access.

The second bedroom features a king bed, sitting area, private balcony, and en-suite bath with oversized shower and dual sinks. The third bedroom offers a queen French iron bed with an adjacent bath and large glass shower. A long corridor separates the sleeping quarters, ensuring privacy for residents and guests alike.

Skylights throughout introduce balanced natural light, while elevated positioning ensures every room benefits from unobstructed ridge-top views.

Outdoor living is fully realized with covered terraces, dining and lounge areas, and multiple fireplace settings. A walking path winds through mature piñon and cypress trees, reinforcing the property’s sense of discretion and retreat. Native landscaping is thoughtfully integrated into the site.

Despite its privacy, the residence is located just 1.5 miles from Canyon Road and in close proximity to Bishop's Lodge and Ten Thousand Waves. A circular drive accommodates up to six vehicles.

This is a rare Santa Fe offering — architecturally distinguished, publication-recognized, and positioned for those seeking privacy, scale, and enduring design integrity.
