Location: Las Campanas, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA (Santa Fe, NM, 10 minutes from the Plaza off 599 bypass) View Map
Accommodations: Home, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Gorgeous 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home fully furnished with fine collectibles from the owner’s world travels. Why stay in a small hotel room when you can have this gorgeous home for only $250 per night! Live in the country ONLY TEN MINUTES FROM THE PLAZA in Santa Fe and have that dream time in New Mexico completely furnished! 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.
Custom built by Tom and Dorothy Deaton, with interior design and furnishings by Jeffrey Fenton, this sweet showcase of fine taste has old world charm and simple elegance as a reserved destination in the coming year. Pack a bag, for a week, a month, or an extended stay!
Reduced for off-season to only $250 per night. Enjoy this home for only $190 a night when you lease for a month or longer. Make your experience unforgettable!
You'll be thanking your lucky stars, and you can almost reach out and touch them from your own portal. You’ll have this large fully equipped kitchen, LR, DR, 2 kiva fireplaces, king-size master bedroom w/ jacuzzi, queen room, 2 twins, and an office with an oldstyle writing table and trundle daybed.
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 Las Campanas
Santa Fe culture is rich with diversity, and the history and people are fascinating.
The Unique Benefits at this Home
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. We have a jacuzzi tub, barbecue grill on the patio, and 3,200 square feet of luxury pueblo-style architecture to enjoy. Our furnishings are comfortable and elegant, with Santa Fe style.
Owner's Map of Las Campanas
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.

Homeowner Response:
FYI: Wildlife in the high desert of Santa Fe is abundant, and coyotes may also be heard downtown. We are great appreciators of nature and animals, and do not allow hunting of any kind on our property.
