About this villa rental
Xanadu Villa offers the ultimate in privacy, size and comfort to its guests. With 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, a living room and family room, furnished exercise room, the 4000 square feet along with another 1600 square feet of covered and open patio area this property offers plenty of options for relaxing and entertaining. From the treed 5 acre property you have views of the Jemez Mountains to the West and the Sangre de Christo Mountains and the Santa Fe ski basin to the East. The property is 8 miles North of Santa Fe in the hills of Tesuque.
Upon arrival and entering the enclosed front courtyard you are immediately struck with the uniqueness of the property. There is a large covered portal on the front side of the home with two different seating areas, one with a flaming firepit table. The thoughtfully placed hot tub and BBQ grill are placed just to the right of the portal. Adjacent to this area are the steps to the 900 square-foot observation deck with an outdoor sectional sofa and pub table with chairs and a gas heater. The views from the deck are spectacular. The sunset photos that you see were taken from this area. This deck is also conveniently accessible from the master bedroom.
Returning to the front portal you enter a covered entry 12 feet high which continues into the front of the home creating a dramatic entrance. Upon entering the home you immediately realize that a lot of thought went into maximizing the views from the home. Beautiful natural wood beams have been used throughout with wood decking above the beams and beautiful natural hardwood flooring giving the home its distinctive look. There is a large easy-flow kitchen with all new appliances and an extensive amount of storage space. The adjacent dining room has a corner fireplace and the table will adjust from a 6-person seating to seating for 10. The high ceiling and wood beams throughout the living room along with all of the tall windows make for a very comfortable gathering place. There is a gas fireplace in this room as well. There is a door leading onto a deck that offers views to the Southwest including the Santa Fe Opera. You can hear the music when the opera is in season.
Additionally, there is a full-size guest bathroom with a tub and shower on this level. When you enter the master suite once again you appreciate all of the beautiful wood beams used in the vaulted ceiling of the bedroom and the hardwood floors in the bath and closet area. There is a 4-poster bed, beautiful furniture, and a 60" TV that lowers from the ceiling. The large observation deck is also accessible from the master bedroom and there is an additional deck matching the living room area off the back side of the room with the same Southwest views including a small seating area.
The stairs to the lower level are very open with high ceilings as well and from the middle landing, you can continue down to the left leading to the family room and downstairs master bedroom or to the right leading to the 3 Queen bedrooms, the laundry and the garage area. The spacious family room also features a wood beam ceiling with wood decking and is beautifully furnished with custom-made furniture and features a bar to one side and another 65" TV that drops down from the ceiling. The views are too beautiful and since the room is all windows the drop-down TV is perfect. There is corner gas fireplace in this room as well. Just off this area is the lower level master bedroom with a King bed which is beautifully appointed, and has a 3/4 bath and walk-in closet. Around the staircase and down the hall are the 3 Queen bedrooms all of which have been thoughtfully furnished with functional furniture and wall art. One of these bedrooms has a walk-in closet as well as a door leading outside to a private seating area under the trees. The laundry room has a new large-capacity washer and dryer and kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and all accessories. Just past this area and leading to the double car garage is a large exercise room with nice equipment and views of the backyard.
There are 4 doors leading to the backyard which is completely enclosed by a stucco wall and offer several areas to gather around a table or relax on the hammock or just enjoy the open space and nature. The silence can be deafening.
During your stay at Xanadu Villa you are the only guests at the property and have full access to what the home has to offer. If there is ever anything that you need simply contact us at (almost) anytime. We have an excellent private chef who is available for a special dinner or just to provide hours d'oeuvres for a happy hour.
The owners of Xanadu Villa also own an exceptional gallery in downtown Santa Fe with the same name. Many of the items that we sell in our gallery are throughout the home such as all of the custom furniture such as the sofas, chairs and the amazing live edge coffee tables and side tables. Any of these items are for sale or can be custom-made to your specifications. We offer a special discount to guests of Villa Xanadu.

We had a wonderful time in Santa Fe. This home offers the best of both worlds - quiet mountain setting that is a 10-minute drive to downtown - amazing how you hear no traffic from the home. Lots of space for gathering and lots of nooks for quiet downtime and reading. The owners have a downtown art gallery and furnish the home with beautiful furniture pieces and lighting. The owners are fabulous with communication. We will definitely return!

This house and property is gorgeous, welcoming, and comfortable. It is beautifully appointed, with many personal and thoughtful touches. The scenery is spectacular. Our host was friendly and communicated quite well, quickly answered questions we had, and offered extras if we were interested. Our group consisted of 6 women friends who meet once a year and this year we chose Santa Fe. This property more than accommodated us and exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This property is VERY highly recommended.

This property was as beautiful and incredible as advertised. Alan was an excellent communicator and very responsive to our questions. He also had great recommendations for places to eat and visit in downtown are surrounding area. This home has incredible solitude for being so close to town. The sunset views are incredible, as were the "cool" high desert temperatures for early July. We are already planning a return trip for sometime next year.

We had an older-adult family get together at the site. It was perfect! Very peaceful and beautiful setting. The interior of the house is gorgeous. Everything was well-stocked, working. and impeccably clean. Nice tables and lamps from the owner's gallery in Santa Fe. Lots of decks and other outdoor areas that we used frequently. The location is secluded, but still easily drivable to all of the attractions of the city center. We did a couple of great hikes--one near the ski area and the other to Picacho Peak. Several large groceries about 6 miles away. The best beans and posole just a short drive away at Tesuque Market. All in all the house worked very well for us with no significant negatives. Thanks!

Our group of four couples had a lovely stay in early June, and were blown away by the beauty and cleanliness of the house, which sits on a spacious 5-acre lot. The artwork is well curated, and we all enjoyed how beautiful the house was decorated.
The kitchen was especially well stocked with all the cookware we needed, as well as a generous selection of glassware, dishes, utensils, and additions like ziplock bags, foil, etc.
We were a little surprised at the configuration of the bedrooms with baths, so I'll clarify for guests who may find this information useful. There is a gorgeous master suite on the main floor, as well as a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the lower level. There are three additional bedrooms on the lower level, but they all share one bathroom (which wasn't ideal for our situation). Additionally there is a full bath on the main floor, but it's not really convenient for the use of the lower-level bedrooms.
Though the house is air-conditioned, they are mini-split air conditioners rather than central air, and during our stay it was unseasonably hot for Santa Fe -- especially in the kitchen. Some of our group commented that their bedroom was hot, as they didn't have a fan. I'm sure it is absolutely magical during the fall and winter!
Don't miss the sunsets from the rooftop deck -- they were absolutely spectacular!

The home is amazingly beautifully decorated. The large windows everywhere are wonderful. Outside sitting areas galore. Upstairs deck perfect for family and star gazing. Hot tub was a BIG hit. Wildlife sightings from house--coyote, rabbit, birds. Wonderful for our family vacation!

We had a family reunion of siblings & spouses at this lovely property. Our host was amazing and attentive, immediately working to solve any issues we had.
We enjoyed the benefit of two living areas, with top quality furnishings, which helped us relax and rest while vacationing. The master suite on the main floor was fantastic; the tree-top view was wonderful - like sleeping in a tree house! Our only regret is that we had high winds and rain during our stay, so we didn’t get to enjoy the outside decks and garden areas as much as we wanted.

We stayed here for our annual sister vacation. The home was very beautiful, accommodating, and with spectacular views. The home was exactly as described and pictured. All my sisters enjoyed the house and the nature trails. This was definitely a very memorable vacation.

A large group came to celebrate our anniversaries by viewing the eclipse and visiting the Balloon Fiesta. We had 8 adults together - and the house was perfect! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The hot tub was a hit! And we enjoyed the lovely back yard garden area - sitting outside enjoying the view. Alan was attentive when I had questions and even shared his eclipse photos! The house was well stocked and had most everything we needed to have a wonderful, memorable stay.

My family and I spent three nights at this newly listed property just outside of Santa Fe in Tesuque. It is GORGEOUS inside and out. The house is spacious - 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. The entire property looks new and is decorated with high-end furnishings including custom-made furniture, Persian rugs, luxury-level bedding and artwork. The kitchen was generously and thoughtfully stocked – we had everything needed for entertaining friends which is rare. The gym room was larger than expected with new equipment. As for the outdoors, the property is several acres in size with lots of trees. There are several decks with spectacular views of the Santa Fe Opera. There is also a cool labyrinth that you can walk on property. This exquisite home is a real gem. We’ll book again for Opera season.
