Nestled on a private road shared by only two residences, this exceptional custom Southwestern estate on 1.3 acres in Anasazi Trails offers breathtaking Sandia Mountain views, remarkable privacy, and convenient access just minutes from Interstate 25 via Tierra Madre.

The well-appointed kitchen features new quality appliances, a walk-in pantry and welcoming dining area with gorgeous mountain views.
One of the home's most distinctive features is its newly created private guest and retreat wing, offering a nearly independent living environment ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, a wellness retreat, or private accommodations. This versatile space includes a spacious family room, kitchenette, two flex rooms, a cedar sauna, and a covered portal oveirlooking the Sandia Mountains. Above the portal, a private viewing deck provides the perfect setting for morning coffee at sunrise and evening gatherings as the sun sets across the mountains. Additional features include an overszed RV garage, separate single-car garage, and exceptional flexibility for today's evolving lifestyle needs.
For those seeking even greater privacy and future possibilities, the adjoining premium view lot may also be available for purchase, creating a rare opportunity to expand the estate, preserve view corridors, or establish a private family compound.
Combining authentic Southwestern character, stunning mountain scenery, exceptional privacy, and rare live-work versatility, this is far more than a home.
