Listing Details

Property Description

A rare offering perched above a bluff at the end of a cul-de-sac, this freestanding, single-level, three-bedroom villa enjoys sweeping Jemez Mountain views and high-desert sunsets. Deer and other wildlife visit often. Set in the gated Hills and Villas at Bishop’s Lodge near the Santa Fe National Forest, the home is minutes north of the Santa Fe Plaza.
Soaring ceilings with hand-hewn vigas, tile floors and a wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and Santa Fe character to the open living area. A formal dining area flows into a kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a gas range. Glass doors open to an expansive terrace for alfresco dining and mountain views. A cozy firepit with Adirondack chairs invites evenings outdoors.
Three bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, provide privacy and comfort. The primary suite features a Kiva fireplace, private morning patio and bath with a jetted soaking tub and steam shower. A second suite includes a Kiva fireplace and patio access, while the third bedroom also lends itself to an office or studio. Central air conditioning and a humidifier provide year-round comfort. A smart home system allows remote control of lighting, HVAC, the alarm and cameras.
Meticulously maintained by its owner, the home was inspected prior to listing. The roof and skylights were replaced and stucco updated within the past few years. HVAC and mechanical systems were updated in 2018, and coyote fencing within the last year.
A successful short-term rental, the villa is offered furnished, including dishes and bedding, with the opportunity to continue future bookings if the buyer desires. Some artwork is excluded.
Community amenities include paved roads, two cliffside pools and EV charging stations. Nearby Bishop’s Lodge, an Auberge Resorts Collection destination, offers dining at SkyFire and a lounge, with hiking and horseback riding close at hand. The Santa Fe Opera and galleries are within easy reach, and the Santa Fe Ski Basin is a 25-minute drive.
Combining privacy, Southwestern architecture and exceptional scenery, this villa offers an inviting full-time residence, second home or vacation rental in the hills above Santa Fe. 3D Tour Available.
