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 long house is a single building, divided by the plaza zaguan, that borders the east side of the courtyard plaza. It encompasses a two-bedroom guest or caretaker’s apartment complete with full bath and kitchen; two distinct bedroom suites with private baths; a fanciful “general store”; his-and-her bathrooms to service events held in the plaza; and a second laundry and utility room. A shady portal lined with paver stones and topped with vigas and latillas runs along the length of the building, connecting the suites and providing space for guests to relax in the shade.
