Amazing views

You cannot get better views than from this house. There are mountains and water in one vast view overlooking various wildlife from chipmunk to elk. The boats were great for the kids to ride around the pond, and it was within walking steps of the house. My nine year old daughter learned to kayak for the first time. Both the girls also enjoyed the various toys like tea sets and board games provided. Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy your home.

Why they chose this property

Our Santa Fe-based family purchased the property and built the home in the early 1990's as weekend getaway and gathering place for extended family and family friends. It's been a perfect place for adults to relax and kids to enjoy being outside. Our family has gotten years of enjoyment out of the home and surrounding area and we hope that your family enjoys it just as much as ours has.
