1980 Cerros Colorados

Close to town, yet worlds away. Set against the foothills in coveted Cerros Colorados, this exceptional contemporary residence captures a compelling Santa Fe combination: mountain and sunset views by day, sparkling city lights by night, the Dale Ball Trail system just beyond, and the Plaza only 10 minutes away. Sited on .87 usable acres, the floor plan offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on the main level, an attached casita with kitchenette and full bath, and a lower level with an additional bedroom and bath plus recreation/media room. Designed and built by renowned builder Fred Klein as his personal residence, the home’s artistic character is evident in custom artisan doors, stained concrete floors, warm wood accents, and thoughtful details throughout. In the living and dining areas, expansive NanaWall glass doors disappear into the walls, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. Connected portals extend the living spaces, while a sculptural corner wood-burning fireplace creates a magical gathering place against a backdrop of changing skies, distant mountains, and twinkling city lights. The open kitchen features a 6-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and bar seating. Privately situated in the east wing, the primary suite has its own NanaWall opening to a secluded portal. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Downstairs, the recreation/media room, additional bedroom and bath provide wonderful flexibility. The attached casita offers even more versatility for guests, a studio, or extended stays. Outside, landscaped sitting areas invite evenings beneath Santa Fe’s extraordinary skies, while the Dale Ball trails offer miles of hiking just beyond home. Morning walks, mountain sunsets, city lights, and dinner on the Plaza just minutes away—a home wonderfully removed from it all, yet remarkably close to everything.
