This artistic double-adobe residence—complete with detached guest house, pool and studio/gallery space—beautifully blends European old-world charm with contemporary, high-end finishes. Rich architectural details begin at the hand-carved wood doors, welcoming you into a serene sanctuary of terraced outdoor living spaces that flow toward a glass-tiled pool with spa jets. The walled courtyard features an inviting ramada with outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing beneath expansive New Mexico skies. After a swim, unwind in the cedar sauna.  Inside the main home, find to an updated gourmet kitchen with granite counters. Each room showcases a stately kiva fireplace. Sun-filled living spaces capture warm, south-facing light for passive solar gain, and white-washed vigas, brick, stone, and wood floors, and wood ceilings enhance the authentic character of this traditional Northern New Mexico retreat.  The main house includes an attached studio/gallery with oversized pivot door for added light and open access. The guest house—designed by architect John Midyette—includes one of his signature kiva fireplaces along with its own kitchen and bath. New silicone roof on main house October 2025. Located in the historic village of Cerrillos, just south of Santa Fe along the Scenic Turquoise Trail, the property offers easy access to the 1,100-acre Cerrillos Hills State Park. The village features a charming restaurant, local shops, community events, a seasonal farmers market, a recently built Senior Center, and a village fire station.  This is a rare opportunity to experience the New Mexico dream in a vibrant, artistic, and historic community.
