24 SW Paseo Encantado

Above the village of Tesuque, where hawks and eagles ride the mountain currents and the horizon stretches in every direction, 24 SW Paseo Encantado is one of Santa Fe's truly iconic estates. Perched on 5.25 acres just 20 minutes from the Plaza, the property commands breathtaking 360-degree views while celebrating the marriage of Southwestern architecture and Santa Fe's artistic spirit. From the moment of arrival, the home reveals itself as a work of livable art. A soaring vaulted ceiling crowned by a dramatic oval skylight fills the central living space with natural light, while handcrafted details draw the eye toward the spectacular landscape beyond. Designed for entertaining and peaceful retreat, the main residence offers three ensuite bedrooms, a private office/den, and a light-filled sunroom overlooking the pool and landscaped grounds. East- and west-facing portals embrace the changing light, offering front-row seats to spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and celebrated night skies. An elegant country kitchen creates a warm gathering place for family and friends. Beyond, a heated swimming pool and elevated in-ground spa are connected by a cascading rock waterfall, creating a private resort-like setting. Across the pool, the detached guest house offers two bedrooms, two baths, and a sauna, with one bedroom currently serving as a fitness room. Perhaps the property's most unforgettable feature is its private one-mile walking trail, winding through the landscape with bridges, benches, and shaded shelters that invite exploration and reflection. Mature landscaping and towering trees are supported by a pre-moratorium well for irrigation, with community water serving the residence. With some of Northern New Mexico's most inspiring views, 24 SW Paseo Encantado is a timeless expression of Santa Fe living at its finest.
