This extraordinary Buzz Bainbridge-built Southwest estate embodies timeless craftsmanship and gracious scale. Authentic double-adobe construction, hand-hewn beams and doors, custom millwork, and Saltillo tile create warmth and permanence throughout. A private entry courtyard is encircled by exposed adobe brick walls, evoking a true Southwest hacienda. Oversized solid-wood tongue-and-groove doors open to spacious interiors filled with natural light from abundant windows and skylights. The home offers three spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, plus nine wood-burning fireplaces. The primary suite features a semi-circular ceiling crafted with peeled cedar and vigas, a traditional Shepherd’s fireplace, and an oversized primary bathroom, vanity, and double-sided closet. The heart of the home is an inviting kitchen surrounded by warm wood architecture and equipped with upscale appliances, double dishwashers, and natural stone countertops. A roomy breakfast area with banco seating provides a comfortable gathering space, while the formal dining room features a traditional iron chandelier. Natural stone flooring and custom details continue throughout. An oversized laundry room adds practicality. Outside, the grounds unfold as a private Southwest sanctuary. Regal blue spruce, mature juniper and piñon trees, apple trees, and golden currants complement multiple water features, including a striking three-tiered water feature and koi pond. Flagstone pathways connect inviting conversation areas for entertaining and quiet enjoyment. A drip irrigation system simplifies landscape maintenance. A major highlight is the detached one-bedroom guest house, offering independent living quarters with an ample studio, private portal, and garage—ideal for guests, extended stays, or additional private space. The property also features a three-car garage with additional storage, providing ample room for vehicles and equipment. Handcrafted architectural details, serene water features, and mature landscaping reflect exceptional craftsmanship and Southwest elegance. With Sangre de Cristo Mountain views, authentic adobe construction, exceptional indoor-outdoor living spaces, and a remarkably private guest residence, this distinctive estate offers a rare opportunity to experience refined New Mexico living in an architectural home of enduring character.
