12 Schwarze Schlucht

Morning light spills across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains while evenings settle gently over the Cerrillos Hills — a daily reminder of why life in the New Mexico countryside is unlike anywhere else. Set on 10.5 private acres, this exceptional Santa Fe-style estate blends timeless craftsmanship, natural beauty, and refined comfort in a setting defined by vast skies, silence, and extraordinary views.

Constructed with pumice-crete walls, hand-troweled plaster finishes, vigas and beams, and custom hardwood cabinetry and doors, the approximately 3,950-square-foot residence reflects authentic regional design with thoughtful modern livability. Soaring ceilings, radiant in-floor heat, and five energy-efficient mini-split systems create warmth and comfort throughout every season.

At the center of the home, the spacious chef’s kitchen features granite countertops, quality appliances, and seamless flow into the living and dining areas, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Expansive windows and multiple patios frame sweeping mountain vistas and unforgettable sunsets, creating a constant connection to the surrounding landscape.

The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a copper soaking tub, walk-in shower, and secluded patio complete with an outdoor shower for a spa-like experience beneath the stars. A large sunlit studio with generous storage offers exceptional flexibility for artists, creatives, or remote work.

A detached 500-square-foot guest casita with a ¾ bath provides comfortable accommodations for guests, a home office, or potential rental use. Additional features include a private well and buried 10,000-gallon water storage tank, supporting both convenience and self-sufficiency.

Peaceful and private, yet within reach of Santa Fe, this remarkable property captures the essence of elevated rural living in Northern New Mexico.
