Description
Set on more than 11 private acres along the Turquoise Trail, this home offers the kind of space, views, and sense of place that draw people to Santa Fe. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home combines classic Santa Fe style with an open, comfortable floor plan and extraordinary views. Inside, traditional details give the home warmth and character with 2x10 exterior framing and flagstone sills. Brick floors, vigas and a dramatic sculptural fireplace feel distinctly Northern New Mexican without overwhelming the clean, open design. Generous living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow easily together. The home offers three bedrooms, including two with ensuite baths, along with a separate studio that opens up many possibilities. Outdoor living is just as important here. A walled garden courtyard and deep portal welcome you at the front of the home, while the back portal looks out across the mountains, Santa Fe city lights, and the wide-open Galisteo Basin. It's easy to imagine morning coffee in the quiet, long dinners outside with friends, and evenings watching the light change across the landscape before the stars come out. With more than 11 acres surrounding you, there is a wonderful feeling of privacy and breathing room, yet you're not giving up convenience to get it. Highway 14, I-25, and 599 are all easily accessible, putting Santa Fe, Cerrillos, Madrid, and Albuquerque within easy reach. A two-car garage and well-appointed laundry room add everyday practicality to a property that is anything but ordinary. For someone looking for authentic Santa Fe architecture, significant acreage, memorable views, and a home that feels connected to the landscape around it, 157 Silver Hills delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. This is a one-level home, but does have two areas with a small step downs into the living room/kitchen.
