Enjoy 3,200 square feet of perfect charm while you gaze out on the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountains surrounding your own private home. Located in Tierra Preciosa, just off the 599 bypass on the La Tierra/Las Campanas exit. Not within walking distance to the plaza, but terrific hiking and no maddening traffic!
Fine features include exposed vigas with high ceilings, smooth rounded walls with arches and accents from around the world, tiled floors with radiant floor heat, kiva fireplaces, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in, sit-down tiled shower, laundry facilities, stunning views, leather furniture, textiles and antiques, 3-stall garage, and privacy on 3 acres, all only ten minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza.

Please note: This home gives you an opportunity to enjoy your surroundings at home as much as you'll enjoy the culture and history of Santa Fe and it's old world charm downtown. Since the drive to town is about ten minutes on the 599 bypass, you'll be able to experience what it really feels like to live in a Santa Fe community area in a newer development.
There are advantages to luxuriating in our beautiful home AWAY from the plaza, but still close enough to get downtown in only ten minutes. The quiet area, no parking issues, and outdoor patios with terrific views make it exceptional.

Why the Owner Chose La Tierra
Santa Fe culture is rich with diversity, and the history and people are fascinating.

Vacationing at Casa del Oso is like owning your own home for relaxation and enjoyment any time of the year. Sunset views are fantastic over the Jemez mountains, and the Sangre de Cristo mountains are visible from the east courtyard.

Owner's Map of La Tierra
This home has all the Santa Fe charm in the world. We had our designer furnish the house with many of our treasures brought back from other cultures, as well as old-Mexico style furniture and accents. We love having a desert vacation home to return to for wide open spaces and sunshine most of the year. My assistant, Jesse, does all the booking arrangements at your convenience. We have forged many good friendships with guests of Casa del Oso, many of whom return throughout the year. We love this home, and the neighborhood couldn't be better.

We have rented many houses through VRBO and this is one of the nicest and well stocked homes we've stayed at. It's actually nicer than the pictures show. I felt as though I was living in Zorro's hacienda.

This beautiful home made our vacation perfect! We were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful New Mexico sunsets with our friends and family. Our favorite place to gather was the back patio. SO RELAXING! We are definitely planning a return visit.

We spent our anniversary at Casa del Oso and had a wonderful time, this beautiful home really made our long weekend special. It is private and quiet and as comfortable as we could ever want. Watching the sunrise slowly light up the property to the west while we had coffee each morning was something we don't get to enjoy at home. A short drive into town and we were eating in some of the best restaurants in New Mexico (Coyote Cafe cantina highly recommended), and strolling Canyon Road's galleries. We are hoping to gather our entire family in Casa del Oso for a holiday reunion soon!

This home was everything you would expect and more. What a fabulous place to get together with friends and family. The house was set up so beautifully and allowed for gathering and spending time together. I stayed with 6 sisters and sister-in-laws and we could not have imagined a better home to stay in. It was just close enough to Santa Fe, but far enough away to allow us to enjoy the spectacular views of the mountains. And Jesse made sure the experience was smooth from start to finish! Would stay all year round if I could.

Perfect Get-Away

Review Submitted: 10/02/10
Eight member of my family stayed 3 nights at this wonderfully equipped and beautifully situated home. The house is a short drive to Santa Fe and an easy drive to other locations within the area (Camel Rock, casinos, Bandelier, etc.). The heart of the house is the kitchen and dining room area, and we found ourselves congregated there every night. We grilled dinners and the large table accommodated us all. The kitchen was well equipped with serving bowls, baking dishes, spices, glasses -- everything we needed to make us feel at home. We all would recommend this place to anyone looking for a homey (yet elegant) place to spend time in the "land of enchantment."

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful, well-equipped home. Great location close to town (and horse back riding 10 min. away) but loved the secluded feel and comfortable, quality surroundings of the home. Great space for all - beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend! Better than we had expected~

We had a Fabulous time in this wonderful house! Our family reunion in this 4 bedroom house was great! With plenty of room to spread out, congregating in the kitchen/dining room, and out on the patio was such fun! We had great views, privacy and Southwest charm! Plus close enough to town to zip right in. We hope to spend another vacation at Las Campanas!

An Oasis in the Sun
Guest: Ann
(Denver)
Date of Stay: 05/28/10
Review Submitted: 07/20/10
The house is absolutely beautiful, private and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent again. There were a couple of minor problems, no extra towels, and the propane gas tank ran out during cooking (too much trouble to go into town in the middle of cooking to get a new one---having an extra one on hand would be nice). Otherwise everything was wonderful.
Owner response:We keep an extra supply of towels on hand for guests, (they were in the locking closet!) and a spare propane tank is onsite, since this guest reported.

Four adults and two teenage family members had a wonderful time at this house. It is comfortable, spotless, well-equipped, and gives you a real taste of living in Santa Fe! The decorations and furniture are lovely, better than the pictures. We were able to cook a dinner for 8 with no problems....had everything we needed. Each evening we watched the sun go down, sitting at the big table on the portal over-looking the West mountains. Beautiful sunsets! The beds are great, the baths huge, plenty of room to spread out. We only had to use the A/C once in the late afternoon for an hour. The copious number of windows give plenty of ventilation and views. Jess has thought of everything you need. It's very quiet, but only 8-10 easy minutes to downtown. Jess communicates with you clearly and promptly! We'd go back to this house...wish we could have just stayed forever!! Be sure to eat at Andiamo, on Garfield St., and at Rooftop Pizza on the Plaza. Shiprock Trading, on the Plaza upstairs, and the Wheelwright Museum(Museum Hill) shop have the best quality Native American textiles and jewelry. A good day trip from the house is to Bandelier National Monument and the Valles Caldera. They are up in the mountains you see from the house. Thanks for a great place to temporarily live in Santa Fe!

paul and i stayed at this wonderful home in april 2010. if you are looking to really get away from the world, this is the place to do it in luxury. it is close enough to everything but remote enough to want to live there forever. jesse is a wonderful and helpful resource. we will be back as soon as we are able.
Owner response:I am richer for knowing the guests who stay here!
