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.

Large antique wooden doors, imported from Spain and dating back to the 1400s, introduce the estate’s private, nondenominational santuario - the perfect setting for an intimate candlelight dinner, poetry reading, salon, or musical performance. Within, vigas, latillas, inset windows, iron chandeliers, and skylights create a subtly elegant traditional New Mexican ambience. Near a distinctive custom mural, a discrete projection screen can be lowered to transform the space into a state-of-the-art media room for private film screenings, business meetings, or the ultimate in children’s video gaming! A generous rear anteroom holds media control systems and offers significant space for storage and staging events.
