$3,900/month — ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED. Our fully furnished custom Eldorado home, available January 28 – May 3, 2027. Private hot tub, Sangre de Cristo mountain views, and a quiet 1.3-acre retreat 22 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza. One household preferred for the full three-month term; monthly stays also considered.

Settle in and make Santa Fe your home for the season. This recently renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house sleeps up to 5 — a king in the primary suite, a queen in the guest room, and a Murphy bed (full) in a generous 400-square-foot bonus space that also works as an office or den. Mini-split heating and cooling in every room, radiant floor heating in the living room, and a gas kiva fireplace that warms the main living area with the flip of a switch — comfortable all through winter and spring. We're happy to answer any questions and help you settle in.

This is our custom home and retreat, not a generic rental property. Granite throughout, 12-foot ceilings with cedar beams, custom tile work, hand-cut “nichos” in the walls, local artwork, saltillo tile and bamboo hardwood floors, and finishes we've chosen with care over the years. We're traveling February through April 2027 and looking for one thoughtful guest (or household) to make it theirs for the season.

The setting

Set on 1.3 private acres in Eldorado at Santa Fe with no close neighbors, the house looks out over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the north and the Ortiz Mountains to the south. The views change by the hour — pink alpenglow on the Sangres at sunrise, high desert light through the day, and some of the best sunsets in New Mexico out over the western horizon. Big sky, piñon, and the stillness that draws people to northern New Mexico in the first place.

The property backs onto open high desert, so you'll hear the wind in the piñons at dusk and see the stars without a single city light in the way. Mornings are quiet. Evenings are quieter.

Outdoor living & private hot tub

Over 500 square feet of covered portals wrap the home. Six distinct outdoor seating areas, two outdoor dining tables, a gas grill, and a private hot tub tucked under the back portal with hill views — the kind of hot tub soak that fills a whole evening. After a day on the trails, hiking the Galisteo Basin, or exploring Canyon Road and the Plaza, there's nothing like unwinding under the portal with a glass of wine and the stars.
The inner courtyard is fully fenced and very private, framed by xeriscaped gardens of Russian sage, artemisia, and mature trees. A front deck sits in the shade for warmer afternoons; a sunset deck faces west for the evening show. You'll find yourself outside a lot.

Inside

2,300 square feet, single-story with just a small step up at the front door. Open, light-filled, and designed for both quiet work and easy entertaining.
The living room anchors the home: 12-foot ceilings with cedar beams, saltillo tile with radiant floor heating underneath, and a traditional gas kiva fireplace that throws real heat with no wood-hauling required. Comfortable seating, local artwork, a well-stocked library of books, and large windows that pull the mountain views inside.
An open dining area off the kitchen seats six. The kitchen itself has been fully renovated with granite counters, a custom tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a full-size refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, French press, and plenty of counter space. Whatever you want to cook, there's room to cook it.

Bedrooms & baths

The primary suite has a king bed, mini-split heat and cool, a smart TV, and an ensuite bath with custom talavera sinks and quartz counters — one of the most distinctive rooms in the house.
The guest bedroom has a queen bed, with a full bath across the hall featuring custom tile and a walk-in shower.
The third room is a generous 400-square-foot bonus space — Murphy bed (full) for an extra guest, a comfortable seating area for six, a smart TV, and a dedicated desk with an adjustable sit/stand workstation. Works equally well as a guest room, a den, or a home office for someone working remotely.

Set up for remote work

Fiber internet (473 Mbps down / 18 up), strong T-Mobile cell signal, and a real desk with a sit/stand setup in the bonus room make this a genuinely good place to work remotely. Several guests before have come for a working stay — a book to finish, a sabbatical, a remote-work month in the Southwest — and left wishing they could stay longer.

Eldorado at Santa Fe

Eldorado is a quiet, high-desert community about 15 minutes southeast of Santa Fe — known for its dark skies, its trail network, and the small-town neighborhood feel it keeps despite being so close to the city. You're just under a mile from the Agora, the community's shopping center, which has a grocery store, coffee shop, restaurants, hardware store, post office, bank, and gym. The Eldorado community center and public library are close by. The Eldorado trail network is a short walk or drive away, and the Galisteo Basin Preserve — known for world-class mountain biking and hiking — is about 10 minutes down the road.

Drive times from the house:
• Santa Fe Plaza: 22 minutes
• Trader Joe's / Whole Foods: 17 minutes
• Canyon Road galleries: 24 minutes
• Meow Wolf: 25 minutes
• Ski Santa Fe (ski basin): 50 minutes
• Albuquerque International Sunport: about an hour
• Taos (for a day trip): about 90 minutes

Who this home suits
We'd love to hear from you if you're looking to live with Santa Fe for a season rather than just pass through — someone on sabbatical, a visiting academic, a snowbird couple escaping northern winter, a remote-working household, a writer with a project, a family coming to spend time with relatives in the area. The house has been a happy home for us; we're looking for a guest who will enjoy it the way we do.
