1202 Ojo Verde

This sophisticated home high in the hills north of Santa Fe enjoys a sweeping view across the city skyline toward the Jemez Mountains in the distance. Its approximately 6,448-square-foot floor plan features alluring entertaining spaces and discrete private quarters that radiate off a grand skylit gallery hallway. A subtle Southwestern character is suggested by hardwood floors, ceiling beams and vigas, soothing plaster walls, and ceramic tile, while striking finished concrete flooring flows throughout, contributing a distinctive contemporary flair. A chic great room, which offers both living and dining areas, joins a relaxed den to provide a wonderful variety of spaces for lounging and entertaining. At the end of the central hallway are two sizeable bedroom suites; a wine cellar and tasting room, a generous gym with sliding glass doors and a mirrored wall, an office or additional bedroom, and a light-filled bath are tucked away on the home’s lower level. Down a short hallway off the foyer are an artful powder room, a delightful attached guest casita with a kitchenette, and a door to a courtyard with a sunset-facing hot tub. Two portales encourage enjoyment of the outdoors: the west-facing space features a kiva fireplace, a television, and useful sunshades, while the eastern portal includes a grilling area and gives way to a serene backyard. The walled and securely gated property has been tastefully landscaped with colorful native flora and trees, including stately aspens.
