:: OTERO-BY-THE-PLAZA :: Colorful Guesthomes in Colorful Santa Fe
The OTERO-by-the-Plaza Compound is just three blocks (a four minute stroll) to the Plaza and five blocks to art-studded Canyon Road. It nestles into the wooded knoll that overlooks the historic Santa Fe Plaza. Aside from its easy accessibility to all Santa Fe has to offer, the Compound's great appeal is its sense of space, its feast of rich and delightful colors, its quiet privacy, its safe residential neighborhood, and its flexibility in accommodating 1 to 16 guests (or up to 32 guests in conjunction with adjoining homes). This 3/4 acre haven adjoins Fort Marcy Park with its 360-degree ring-of-mountain-views & breathtaking sunsets. Just beyond is National Forest.
Otero is at once country and downtown; the ideal location! __________________________________________________________
