Santa Fe boasts hundreds of extraordinary properties, many of them even worthy of the word “estate.” But very few carry a special spirit that arises from more than thirty years of investment, care, and growth. With its roots in the mid-1970s, 24 B Paseo Encantado has grown over time into a beautifully cohesive four-bedroom, four-bath retreat in the hills of Vista Redonda. On 5.58 rolling acres, with more than 5,200 feet of living space, this home really does have its own spirit. Decades of devoted, skilled landscape caretaking are evident everywhere you look. Slate entry-hall floors draw you into the great room and to the kitchen, which is a product of a ~2016 addition and remodel by Santa Fe architect José Luis La Cruz-Crawford and Druc Engineering. Hardwood floors with radiant heat were installed throughout the remodeled areas, including the primary suite, which sits to the right of the entry. The gorgeous remodeled primary bath sports a steam shower and a mosaic-tile jetted tub; picture windows look directly into the Jemez mountains. Here, the views aren't limited to a few living-room windows; they unfold from every corner of the house. The updated living spaces to the left of the entry remain from the original home, with traditional brick floors and viga/latilla ceilings. The second and third bedrooms offer perfect guest separation, the third bedroom/office having a private entrance. The living-room doors open into spacious outdoor living and dining areas and the Zen-inspired rock garden and spa sit on a private overlook. Architect Sandy Kiger designed the 1,105-square-foot detached casita, which was built in ~2006. Smart use of light and form make the casita an easy, sophisticated retreat for guests. A tour will lend you an idea of the spirit of this place. Please note that many of the seller's furnishings were moved out after photography was done.
