26 Camino Verde

Experience the profound and numerous benefits to health and well-being of living in Gallinas Canyon, north of Las Vegas. The crisp mountain air and scenic vistas provide an endless source of inspiration and relaxation. This alpine haven was designed by celebrated architect John Gaw Meem. Based in Santa Fe, Meem blended local historic styles with modern techniques, and the properties he designed are very desirable. This split-level mountain retreat was designed to complement the location on 4.55 forested acres, with a wood and cut stone exterior, and wood beams and floors and interior cut stone, including a large fireplace in the living area. The design also incorporates the natural heat of the sun, with a large sun room offering passive solar heat, and large windows to take in the beautiful mountain and forested views which surround the property. The home’s 5121 sf also include an eat-in kitchen, formal dining area, 5 bedrooms and a bonus room, three full bathrooms, and a laundry room. With the bedrooms and baths split between the main and lower levels, there is plenty of room for visiting guests or family. The lower level has a separate private entrance and patio. Many built in cabinets and shelves provide lots of extra storage space. Solar is for baseboard heating and domestic hot water. Just a few hours of sun during the coldest winter days gives enough storage to get through the night. It drastically reduces the amount of propane needed. There is a hot tub next to the kitchen. The property is expansive but comfortable, private but near to the amenities of Las Vegas and Santa Fe (60 miles away).
