1605 Luci Della Città

Perched near the top of Las Lomas with a commanding vantage point above Santa Fe, this distinctive Bob Zachry-designed residence was conceived around one of the neighborhood’s most remarkable settings. Sweeping 270-degree views encompass the Sangre de Cristo and Ortiz Mountains, downtown Santa Fe and the shimmering city lights to the east—an ever-changing panorama framed throughout the home.

Designed specifically for its dramatic hillside site and built by its original owner, an engineer and general contractor, the residence offers approximately 5,085 square feet of heated living space with an unusual degree of flexibility. Expansive Pella windows and doors invite the landscape into the interiors, while high ceilings, stained beams and warm wood floors create an inviting contemporary Southwestern character.

The approximately 2,400-square-foot main level was thoughtfully planned to function as a complete single-level living environment. Living and dining areas orient toward the views and open to a broad deck overlooking the mountains and city. The custom kitchen features wraparound cabinetry, granite surfaces, dual ovens, gas cooktop and a sunlit breakfast area opening to a private patio. Two bedrooms with baths, laundry and the principal entertaining spaces complete this level.

Just eight steps above, the private primary suite level offers a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet and bath with jetted tub and glass-enclosed shower, along with an adjoining bedroom or study. Twelve-foot ceilings with substantial stained beams add architectural presence, and both rooms open to private stone-tiled patios.

Additional levels provide exceptional versatility, with further bedroom and bath accommodations, a media room with wet bar, office areas, workshop and abundant storage.

Outdoor living is integral to the design, with a generous view deck and three additional stone-tiled patios surrounded by mature landscaping, including more than 50 piñon and Rocky Mountain juniper trees.

Equally exceptional is the approximately 1,298-square-foot heated and finished garage, accommodating four to five vehicles and offering EV charging. An elevator shaft incorporated into the original design provides the possibility of future elevator access between the garage and main living level.

Quietly situated on a cul-de-sac yet remarkably convenient to downtown, shopping and the Santa Fe River Trail, 1605 City Lights is a singular residence defined by thoughtful design, expansive living and one unforgettable Santa Fe panorama.
