38 Calle Ancla

Built by the current owners and used exclusively as a second home, this well-cared-for Rancho Viejo residence has been very lightly lived in and offers an appealing balance of comfort, flexibility, and convenience. Part of Rancho Viejo’s Encantado series, the home features two bedrooms plus a den/flex room that lends itself beautifully to a dedicated home office, creative space, or additional living area. The main living spaces flow naturally together, creating an inviting setting for both quiet days at home and gathering with friends. At the center, the upgraded kitchen features granite countertops, a custom backsplash, and a generous island with seating—an easy place to gather over coffee, conversation, or a casual meal. Zero interior steps enhance the ease of living, while the private rear-entry two-car garage preserves the home’s welcoming streetscape. The covered portal and side yard extend the living space outdoors, offering a comfortable spot for dining, gardening, or simply enjoying Santa Fe’s climate. Rancho Viejo was thoughtfully planned around open space, wildlife corridors, and miles of walking paths, creating a genuine connection to the high-desert landscape. Equally special is its commitment to dark skies, allowing the stars and expansive New Mexico night sky to remain part of the experience of living here. All of this comes with remarkable everyday convenience—minutes from Santa Fe Community College, the Institute of American Indian Arts, Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center, the Rail Runner Station, dining, shopping, and other Santa Fe amenities. With its own community fire station and an easy, low-maintenance setting, the property is particularly well suited as a Santa Fe second home or full-time residence.
