Think of a true New Mexico Hacienda with thick adobe walls, ten foot wide portals, hand-carved doors and all the modern amenities one might desire to create a simply elegant and tranquil living space. This main house and a guesthouse, designed with the same attention to detail, are set on five acres in the Arroyo Hondo community. With an artist eye to views south and west the manicured courtyard has a carefully designed landscape and hardscape, gardens and a peaceful, private outdoor setting with a path connecting to the separate guesthouse; a gardener’s dream. In addition to seven fireplaces, the formal living room has a beamed, pitched roof ceiling; a spacious professional kitchen with sitting room spills into the courtyard; a library, covered porch and a master suite with its own secret garden. Upstairs is a private suite with vaulted ceilings. A kitchen designed for serious cooking and patios provide space for entertaining. There is detached three car garage separate from the formal entrance and circular driveway.
