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.

The entry foyer flows graciously into the main living areas and toward the eastern and western wings of the residence. Artisans crafted the rare bóveda ceiling from thousands of bricks imported from Mexico. Master stonemason John Morris laid the honed Arizona flagstone floors, and the remarkably tight joinery represents stonemasonry at its highest level. Custom pigments create a unique marbling effect in the hand-troweled plaster walls. Tull’s signature illuminated nichos, located in the foyer and throughout the residence, provide a source of subtle light. Sun shines in through three deep skylights set above elaborate, Native-American themed, custom wrought-iron chandeliers.
