Rolling across 175 acres of quintessentially Southwestern ranchland — a seemingly infinite tableau of brown earth, piñon, and juniper — Rancho Alegre is a magnificent residential property destined to be known as a Santa Fe landmark. Designed by renowned architect William F. Tull and featured in the June 2008 issue of Architectural Digest, the impressive pueblo-style residence is nestled near the crest of a hill with panoramic views of the Ortiz and Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The residence features a 13,000 square-foot main house; central plaza courtyard; santuario; torreon with rooftop deck; guest and caretaker’s quarters; carriage house; and expansive rear patio with entertaining portal, infinity-edge pool, hot tub, and cabana. Not far off lie a private four-bedroom guesthouse and equestrian facilities that include twelve casita-style horse stalls and a large riding arena.

Entry Courtyard
Two stone columns (one shown here) mark the entrance to the front courtyard. A circular paver drive made of Mexican stone occupies the center of the courtyard and leads to the front door, parking area, and three-car garage. Vibrant landscaping, designed by renowned landscape architect Richard Wilder, flanks the drive on all sides. Aspen trees, a pond with fountain, and bronze sculptures nestled among flagstone paths provide fitting accents. An adobe wall encircles the courtyard, providing a sense of privacy and sanctuary. The high desert rolls north toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, offering an appropriately magnificent backdrop.
