The place
Tesuque sits in the valley of the Tesuque Creek just north of Santa Fe, shaded by cottonwoods and ringed by the foothills. It is a village in the real sense: a market, a church, orchards, and homes on acreage that feel far from town while being closer than most of the city.
What to love
- Cottonwoods, orchards, and acequia water in a high-desert city
- Tesuque Village Market for breakfast
- The Opera and Shidoni a few minutes away
- Horses, privacy, and a real village feel
- Character
- Rural, lush by New Mexico standards, and quietly exclusive. Properties are large, often with water rights and old apple trees. The road winds, and that is the point.
- Architecture
- Historic adobe farmhouses, substantial Pueblo-style estates, and a few striking contemporary homes on the hillsides. Many properties include guest houses, studios, and barns.
- What you’ll find
- Estate properties on acreage, valley farmhouses, and hillside view homes. Inventory is limited, and homes often sell quietly.
- Lifestyle
- Tesuque Village Market, the sculpture gardens, the Opera a few minutes up the road, and hiking from Big Tesuque and Little Tesuque trailheads.
- Getting around
- North of Santa Fe along Bishop’s Lodge Road and Highway 285. Bordered by Tesuque Pueblo lands.
- Who it suits
- Buyers who want land, privacy, water, and trees, with Santa Fe close enough for dinner. Becky’s family roots are here, and she knows the valley road by road.
