1713 A Montano

Tucked away in the heart of Santa Fe, yet feeling like a rural oasis, this light-filled contemporary home is a rare find. The historic Acequia Madre runs through the property, with the Acequia Madre Trail nearby, creating an unexpected connection to nature in the middle of the city. A designer’s home through and through, the residence was built by Modern Design Construction with a thoughtful blend of warm contemporary character and exceptional sustainability. Built in 2007, the 1,435-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home was the first residence within the City of Santa Fe to receive Build Green New Mexico Certification. Concrete floors with in-floor radiant heat, plaster walls and beautifully placed corner windows create an understated, modern interior filled with natural light, complemented by a remodeled kitchen and newer high-efficiency boiler. Greywater and rainwater collection systems, drip irrigation and a Level 2 EV charger further enhance the home’s energy and water conscious design. Step across a charming bridge over the acequia to a detached 11' x 11' insulated and wired studio, a wonderful space for art, work or creative pursuits. Outside, mature landscaping includes wild and hybrid roses, apple and peach trees, and Marshall ash trees, along with a chicken coop and enclosed run and an underground electric dog fence. Thoughtful design, sustainability, mature gardens and the flowing acequia come together to create a truly special Santa Fe retreat.
