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 incomparable “Chaco Shower” may well be the crown-jewel of the residence. Its floor-to-ceiling walls of banded Anasazi stonework, evidence the influence of Chaco Canyon as well as the superior craftsmanship of master stonemason John Morris. The 20'x15' shower features a cascading “water wall” that incorporates a sculpture by renowned Santa Clara Pueblo artist Michael Naranjo, corner skylight, hidden nicho lighting, two freestanding shower pedestals, a deep tile-lined Roman tub, and a romantic corner kiva wood-burning fireplace. _________________________

An indulgent steam room/shower with colorful tile accents is located off the Chaco Shower. An Anasazi-stone-lined corridor with illuminated nicho leads past the steam room to the exercise room.
