80 Monte Alto Road, Santa Fe

Your Santa Fe retreat - a grand yet comfortable house, oversized heated garage and coveted separate casita. This optimum lot, so close to the Eldorado entrance, offers sprawling vistas, views of mountain ranges and big skies, plus a green belt that offers additional privacy and serenity. Portals for shaded conversations and portals for sunshine and gatherings for 2 or 20. This house was designed by Mary Anne Stickler as her own dwelling and showcase home, and became a winner in the Parade of Homes. All her special details are bigger and better: beams on every ceiling, walk-in closets in every bedroom, detailed woodwork, open kitchen with adjacent walk-in pantry, brick floors throughout the house, passive solar collection in bedroom wing. Only two steps in the house, entry to the large living room - the steps set this room apart and make it all the more special. The room that will delight and surprise you is set off the kitchen: a sweet room with kiva fireplace, a outdoor entry to bring in firewood and let the dog out to the fenced dog run. This room has an adjacent powder room, and could become whatever you want it to be - office? TV room? exercise? The casita is separate, complete with full bath, small food prep area, and a private portal. Eldorado walking & biking trails abound, and is one reason people buy into this community. This is a very special property to see and savor: the distinctive quality offers you years of comfort and pleasure! Welcome home!
