Property Description
A Santa Fe Original on 3 Private Acres at the Foot of Sun Mountain. Some houses imitate - 3869 Old Santa Fe Trail is the real thing, a 1940s home built along the city's most storied corridor, with the hand-carved beams, sunken living room, and honest proportions of an era when houses were made by hand. Set on three quiet, piñon-dotted acres, it sits 1.5 miles from Museum Hill and 3 miles from the Plaza, yet feels a world apart. The main house offers three bedrooms, three baths, and a flexible bonus space, arranged for both everyday comfort and easy entertaining. The dining area opens to a generous patio, and the sunken living room centers on a beautifully detailed fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite takes in views of Sun Mountain and includes its own fireplace, a spa-like bath, an oxygenation system for restful sleep at altitude, and room for a sitting area or office. A one-bedroom casita with a kiva fireplace gives guests their own quarters, while the 1,000-square-foot studio above the garage—complete with deck, three-quarter bath, and kitchenette—is ready for an artist, a writer, or a treehouse-style guest retreat with views in every direction. The land is as considered as the house. Raised garden beds and mature fruit trees are supported by a 10,000-gallon rainwater cistern, and solar panels keep the property light on its surroundings. The acreage connects directly to the Sun Mountain trailhead, a morning hike from your own back door, coffee on the patio after. Homes with this kind of character, land, and location rarely come along on Old Santa Fe Trail. This one has been quietly cared for and is ready for its next chapter.
