Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Santa Fe

Bluebird Mountain House began with something that could not be recreated: an exceptional acre among mature trees, with Sangre de Cristo views—just minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza. Because the site was irreplaceable, award-winning architect Marcel Montoya completely reimagined the 1972 house around it.

Comprehensively rebuilt in 2026, walls were removed, steel introduced, rooms reorganized, and nearly every component replaced. Efficiently scaled rooms, integrated storage, and long internal views allow the home to live far larger than its footprint while remaining intimate and comfortable.

A 70’ x 18’ Garapa deck with hot tub and gas fire pit extends daily life outdoors, with spaces for dining, gathering, play, soaking, and quiet.

Craft is evident throughout: handmade doors, hand-finished white oak, Italian lime plaster, smoked oak, and carefully resolved details bring warmth and tactile richness. A custom oak kitchen pairs integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances with a hidden coffee bar, Mina stainless fixtures, and an integral sink.

The primary bath is a private spa with views and complete privacy, featuring a double steam shower, soaking tub, solid-milled Mina fixtures, and Duravit SensoWash Starck toilets.

Technology and performance systems disappear into the architecture: Lutron HomeWorks, Flos mud-in lighting, layered indirect illumination, cinematic sound, a display that becomes art when not in use, 10-kW solar, EV charging, whole-house filtration, and roof-mounted HVAC.

Designed without compromise. Crafted to be lived in for decades. Watch the property film to explore this extraordinary home in motion.
