Location: Sandia Park, New Mexico, USA (20 minutes to Albuquerque in the mountains on golf course)
Accommodations: Luxury Home on Golf Course, 4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Location: Sandia Park, New Mexico USA (Albuquerque )
This property is ideally situated 17 miles (20 minutes ) from Albuquerque and 45 miles (50 minutes) from Santa Fe traveling along the scenic Turquoise Trail. Sandia Park is a mountain community (7000 ft in elevation) suburb of Albuquerque.
Accommodations: Luxury Golf Course Home. This home features 4 bedrooms each with its own private bath (sleeps 8). Two of the bedrooms are convertible to either two twin beds or one king size bed per your desires. The 6000 square foot home is spacious yet oh so comfortable and relaxing, The three levels of large covered decks provide you with ample opportunity to find a quiet place and just take in the tranquility and enjoy the unbelievable views, not to mention a chuckle or two as you watch fellow golfers struggle in the same sand trap you encountered a couple of hours prior. Master bedroom has wrap around shower and large jet tub for soothing tied muscles after your round of golf. Elegance and comfort are a perfect blend in this featured “Parade of Homes” participant. It is located on the 20th hole and overlooks the 19th, 20th, and 21st holes.
“Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club is ranked as the third best public golf course in the United States, according to a newly released Readers’ Choice Poll by subscribers of Golf World magazine, a Golf Digest publication”.
“In August, Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club was ranked No. 28 on Golf magazine’s 2008 list of the “Top 100 Courses you can Play,” moving up two spots from its 2006 ranking. Paa-Ko Ridge also is one of just 17 golf courses to be rated at five stars by the Golf Digest/Fodor’s “Best Places to Play” guide. Paa-Ko Ridge was rated by the 2008 Zagat Survey as “Extraordinary,” the only course in the Southwest to receive that highest-possible rating.”
The golf course itself features panoramic views that are seldom matched anywhere in the world (Google™ Paako Ridge Golf) to get an idea of the splendor of this course. Each window of this home has a view of the plush course. Amenities are too numerous to mention but sampling would include a home theatre equipped with Bose audio, granite/marble throughout, outdoor Viking BBQ/outdoor refrigerator on the 2nd level deck, three hole putting green on site, exercise room with Olympic bench and full dumbbell rack & Schwinn air dyne bike, large garage with room for the largest of RV’s, and recreation room with beautiful pool table, WiFi connection and Satellite TV (DirecTV) on all three floors. This home provides the ultimate in golfing vacations with world class 27 hole course but equally enjoyable will be the sunrise vista’s overlooking the Ortiz Mountains to the East and the amazing sunsets (see promotional photo) as the sun drops below the Sandia (watermelon in Spanish) mountains to the west.
Should you choose to visit the Land of Enchantment in the winter you will be delighted at the quality snow skiing available. Sandia Ski Area (Google™ Sandia Peak Ski) is within sight of our back porch and is but a short 20-minute drive to the 1st lift. Santa Fe Ski Area (Google™ Ski Santa Fe) is @ 1.5 hour, Los Alamos/Pajarito (Google™ Pajarito Ski) 2.0 hours and world class Taos (Google™ Ski Taos) is 3.0-hour drive away. With lifts opening at 9:00, all of these areas are worth the effort for a day trip. Taos is an amazing mountain for the accomplished skier. On a personal note I’ve skied through out the west and enjoy this mountain more than any other, it is fantastic. This luxury golf home easily converts to a hub for skiing adventure as you return each night to the remote control fireplace and thick carpet to warm you up.
Year round attractions for friends and family who might want to venture out for some other entertainment have many options. A drive to the top of the crest (10,700 feet), which overlooks the entire city of Albuquerque with literally 70 mile, views in all directions. The ride up the longest tram in the world takes you up to the same crest but from the city side. Dining at the High Finance restaurant while watching the sunset is a memory not soon forgotten. You may be fortunate enough to watch as daring hang gliders step off the shear face of the mountain and glide for hours toward the valley. The Old Town plaza, which dates back to 1640, is a wonderful place to shop for southwestern jewelry and all types for interesting cultural items. If you choose to come stay around
Christmas then the luminaries tour is a site to see! These decorations are a small factor that plays into the beautiful picture that is set in the Plaza. The Old Town area is home to many art galleries and museums for your enjoyment.

Homeowner Response:
Tom, wow is right! What a great response. We try to do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It is very difficult to capture 6000 sq ft in a few photos and that is why these comments are so important to share with others. Work on your golf game and we hope to see you again sometime with a lower score! Jim

Homeowner Response:
Mark, thanks so much for the praise! As you know your golfing group was our first official VRBO booking and for that we "Thank You". We have gone to great lengths to insure everything a family or group needs is in the home as well as some activities to keep the group entertained and playing together when your not playing golf, skiing, hiking or exploring some part of the local mountain areas. We hope to see you again next time your group comes to New Mexico! Best wishes, Jim
