About this house rental
Located on a hilltop overlooking Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This unique home was designed by Charles F. Johnson, one of the Top 100 Architects in the world (according to Architectural Digest). This home is a 3,400 sq.ft. living sculpture. Based on a circlular design this double adobe home offers a rare mix of sophistication, sensuality and organic livability. What do we mean by livability? A cozy 'Kiva' style theater room with state of the art Theater-Entertainment center, a main fireplace with towering five foot flames in an arched sculpture with breathtaking elegance, and each room has unique wooden ceiling treatments from weathered aspen to Indian style pine lattias, amazing views of both mountains and city lights from inside and outside on the grand terrace, an outdoor spa/hot tub in a private natural setting with the same amazing views, dramatic indoor lighting, plus much, much more. . . . Oh yeah, and an elevator to the lower garage floor making the home very accessible to all ages (and just plain fun).
All this tucked into a very private hillside community just 1 mile north of one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations, Santa Fe's Historic Plaza district, famous for it's beauty, shopping, restaurants, art galleries and historic old world charm.
The Neighborhood
Beautiful hillside neighborhood, close to everything, yet very intimate. A long private drive-way and top-of-the-hill location make you feel far away from city life while just minutes away from the action. Pinon, Aspen, and Juniper trees all around the property,creating a private an oasis in the high-desert mountains.
Minimum age requirement of primary lender 25years
The home is located in a secluded area off the road and as such offers added security and privacy.
Please note: there is a "ring door bell" on the front door which does have audio/video capability for the added security of the home and our guests.
Sound System
The sound system can be operated most easily with the HEOS App. For your convenience, you may want to download the app prior to you arrival and become familiar with it's use. If you have any questions, we are happy to help.
Hot Tub
As is common practice with spa use, please shower before use to remove dirt and excess oil or lotions.
Please make sure all 4 latches are opened before you open the hot tub covers.
There is a light weight green solar cover over the regular hot tub cover. This must be folder back over the "cover lifter" first before folding the regular cover over the lifter. Please always replace the cover along with the solar cover after every use.
Thank you for reading. Please let us know if you have any questions or need anything during your stay.

Two couples stayed and had a wonderful time. Loved sitting out on the patio in the morning and evenings enjoying the view. Very quiet but also quite close to town.

The house is gorgeous! Views of the mountains from almost every room. Beautiful indoors and outdoors. We were 4 adults and enjoying reading in the beautiful spaces, and enjoying all the art in the house.
Comfy beds. The house had everything we needed.
The host was very nice responding to my emails.
We hope to go back next time in Santa Fe!

This property was exactly what we were looking for during our trip to Santa Fe. Such a unique house, amazing views, and so close to downtown while still feeling so removed from everything. David was a perfect host and we had a great stay.

Five star house with every amenity. House overlooks Santa Fe with 180 degree plus views. The ability to be at the plaza in minutes while surrounded by total privacy with peace and quiet is an amazing find. It is a unique architectural gem with every modern convenience. You will never want to leave…so book as long as possible!

We could not have picked a better place to stay for our trip to Santa Fe. I stayed at this home with my husband and MIL for 3 nights at the end of April. We all agreed this home was the highlight of our trip. Everything is so thoughtfully done from the furnishings to the decor to the amenities provided. The views day and night are spectacular. We spent a lot of time on the patio just breathing in the desert air and enjoying the view as birds soared all above and deer rested below under the mesquite brush. The living and dining areas provided several different spots to comfortably gather for conversation while the 2 bedrooms separated on each end of the home provided privacy when needed. The home was immaculately clean and the owner was kind to check in to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Next time we're in SF we will absolutely be staying here again.

This place is incredible. The views from the patio alone are worth the stay. The house is an architectural wonder. Stunning to look at, amazing to stay in. There's a hot tub on the side of the hill, an elevator for those with mobility issues, two garage parking spaces, comfortable bedrooms, a very cozy TV room/ lounge, a kitchen with a huge domed skylight, and tons of giant windows looking out at the mountains and city below. Sunrises are nice, and sunsets are pretty glorious. It's also a very short drive to whatever you want to do in Santa Fe. We also drove to Taos and Albuquerque, and the Puye Cliff dwellings. All very makable distances.
Overall, it's probably the most remarkable place I've ever stayed at in my extensive travels.

My husband and I brought our two sons, ages 23 and 20 to visit my dad, (their grandpa), who is in an assisted living facility in Santa Fe. The home is absolutely amazing and the views are stunning. My youngest son's first comment upon arriving at the house was "it looks like we are on Tattooine!" We enjoyed using the binoculars at night to view the brilliant night sky. We even brought dad over to the house and the elevator made it easy for him to join us for a day of visiting and playing cards. The acoustic effects sitting at the dining table under the dome were fun to play with as well. We had a great trip and a comfortable stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Loved everything about this home. Absolutely beautiful architecture, breathtaking views, peaceful neighborhood and close proximity to mountain and downtown. David was great and responded quickly. Would love to stay here again!

During our visit, we had a big snow storm which caused us to be 'snowed in' for a day. Our Host David, was very concerned and checked on us via phone and text nearly every day. He was so attentive, he arranged for some guys to come dig us out and throw down some sand. The views are amazing! I would visit again.

Views were incredible! So close to downtown and all the restaurants and attractions. In the house though, felt secluded and definitely was able to enjoy some serenity.
Would stay here again and recommend to everyone!

This was my third stay at this amazing home in the hills overlooking Santa Fe. The home is cozy, comfortable, and very well appointed. The large deck features a soothing fountain and a fantastic view of the mountains. It truly is an idyllic getaway.

My husband and I spent a week here, and we would happily stay here again. We especially loved the outdoor deck areas—wonderful shaded places with cool breezes to hang out. The home itself is very unique and beautiful. I can’t imagine what it would take to rebuild it at today’s log prices. Only two bedrooms—so not a place for large groups—but what a lovely place for a getaway into another world. Everything worked and the house was well stocked with condiments, paper, etc.

David takes great care of this wonderful piece of architecture. I stayed with my golden retriever for almost a week and wished I could have just moved in. It is such a unique building and just feels so solid and so well thought out. It was exactly what I was looking for. David was very responsive to my questions. And I am already planning a return with my family next time. There are a few spots of "wear and tear" here and there (mostly just a few casement windows that do not open), but they in no way reduced the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home. If you love great design and a natural space, please rent this place. You won't regret it!

Pictures of this listing don’t do it justice. You will never be in a more special home which so reflects the uniqueness of Santa Fe. In a quiet neighborhood on a hill yet minutes from downtown or Canyon Road. It took me 6 years to get here… but it is truly “casa encantado. “

Beautiful house with the most unusual architecture you will ever see. Great location to town and in a quiet neighborhood. Celebrated my birthday with my wife and another couple and the house made the trip a very memorable one. Thank you David for sharing your fantastic home!

This house was the perfect place to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The pictures do not do it justice - it is architecturally so much fun and yet so cozy and comfortable - with throws conveniently placed in all sitting areas. The kitchen was well stocked with spices (including fresh peppercorns), sugar, tea and coffee (even olive oil). The baths and bedrooms were furnished with quality linens. Having been in a few rentals lately - David is an extremely generous host.
The wonderful feature in this home is the elevator from the garage to the main floor - we are physically challenged so this not so small feature was a God send.
The frosting on the cake is the lack of the posted "Houseskeeping Chore List" to be completed by the renter prior to departure. David asks that the towels be left on the towel rack and sheets remain on the bed as housekeeping will take care of everything. You do need to take care of garbage if you fill of the containers before you leave - but other than that you can just pack up and leave - WOW.... this was the checkout method when we first began renting through VBRO.
Highly recommend this property when you visit Santa Fe - you won't regret it.

This property worked wonderfully for our family of 5. The home location was close to the plaza for daily visits but allowed for spectacular mountain and city views. Our family enjoyed the stars while relaxing in the hot tub and the beautiful home architecture contributed nicely to our first New Mexico visit.

This is the most fabulous house! It’s so close to downtown that you could walk and yet when you’re there you feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Your own private resort!! We hope to return soon.

We loved this property. The house was even nicer looking than the pictures - beautifully decorated and clean. The view of the mountains from the kitchen and living room glass doors was amazing. We liked the neighborhood - lots of space between houses and nice and quiet but still close (by car) to downtown. It was chilly when we were there so we didn’t get to use the outside space as much as we would’ve liked, but we did use the hot tub multiple times, which was a nice way to end long days of sightseeing. David was responsive and helped us quickly resolve the few minor issues that came up. We’d recommend this house for sure and we hope we have the chance to stay here again.

Beautiful property with a beautiful view. One of the coolest rentals I’ve stayed at in years. Reminded me of how VRBO/Airbnb used to be years ago when it wasn’t over saturated and you could find unique homes. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely beautiful property. Wonderful location with views of the mountains and city lights at night. The home is a unique space with everything you will need for a restful stay, including wonderful art for inspiration. Very helpful owners. I hope we can return sometime.

This is the most beautifully designed home we've ever experienced. Every direction you look is a picture. We immersed ourselves in the architecture as well as the Santa Fe fall weather - the outdoor patio is large and the view is lovely any time of day. We had a tiny challenge with the front door - and the owner responded so quickly and nicely that it was easily overlooked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
