Step through the gates into this oasis of peace and tranquility. The large entry courtyard welcomes you to pause and enjoy the cool shade under the mature trees. Inside you’ll escape the heat of the high desert with the new HVAC system, featuring central refrigerated air conditioning. The wide green space adjacent to the home provides extended privacy, and directly across from the home is more green space and a hiking trail into Fort Marcy Park, where you’ll find dog runs, pickleball courts, a baseball field, track, a playground for the kiddos, and a workout center, complete with an indoor swimming pool! Downtown Santa Fe is just a short distance beyond the park. Nestled in the trees and gently rolling hills just off the Old Taos corridor, this home is perfectly situated in the Loma Encantada neighborhood. Loma Encantada is a residential, low-density, planned unit development, only a few minutes from the Plaza. It was laid out to create a feeling of bucolic living, surrounded by native trees and vegetation. Loma Encantada (LEHOA) consists of fifty-nine single-family residences, plus a Club House and a Caretaker’s home located on twenty-nine acres of land. Access to the homes is by private, chip-sealed roadways that run through the landscaped common ground. The HOA fees are just $189/month, and include all common area maintenance, trees and road maintenance, security, painting of the exterior wood on each home every 3 years, and use of a fully equipped clubhouse. This home is located on a quiet corner, and features high ceilings, smooth plaster walls, tile and engineered wood flooring, 2 bedrooms, plus a media room that could easily serve as a 3rd bedroom or office, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room, large pantry/storage room, spacious kitchen, and a sunporch at the back of the home. A new roof and skylights were installed in 2021. The mechanical systems are new too. Furniture package available. Visit https://www.mylehoa.com/
