About this property

Unique combination of Space, Views, Plaza, Privacy, and Garden

Casa Junipero is shielded behind 5 large juniper trees. A flagpole in front pays tribute to its former life as a boarding school. A complete re-imagining of the interior and grounds created this 5400 square foot luxury home sleeps 14 people with up to 7 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths, all under one roof. The rear walled garden has a landmark pine tree flanked on one side by two social areas, a fireplace by the dining table for cool nights, and cocktail seating around a fire pit. The other side of the pine has a separate private area with chaise lounges for sunning and tetherball.

Just a 4 block walk to the museums, galleries, and restaurants of the Plaza, Casa Junipero is the perfect place for a family reunion, 'girls getaway' or group retreat. Gorgeous views cover mountains, local parks, the Cathedral tower, and the Statehouse. The complete modern renovation and interior design complement the open feel of the beautiful skies and mountains while assuring privacy and comfort. The contemporary and transitional furnishings and lustrous diamond plaster walls and modern art to create a very unique environment for your Santa Fe vacation.

Oak floors, granite countertops, steel, glass, and leather furniture are found throughout the house. The Living room and Dining room are spacious and open with large windows showing the city and mountain views and sunsets. The 11-foot long granite dining table sits 10-12 comfortably. The eat-in Kitchen has plenty of granite counter workspace and quality stainless steel fixtures, including a Bosch dishwasher and oven range. The Master Suite has a pillow top queen bed, large flat screen TV, walk-in glass tile rain shower, twin sinks, and separate soaking tub. It connects to the Study as well as has French doors directly to the garden. The Study/5th BR has a large flat screen TV/DVD surround-sound entertainment center, work desk, a queen sleeper sofa, and a full bath with tub and shower. The other 2 bedrooms on the main floor are isolated and share a full bath. One has two twin beds (perfect for kids or singles) and the other has a queen bed and TV and cable. The oversized Guest Suite has a queen bed, TV, Wifi, sitting area, and a full bath. The house includes a massage room (which was once the bomb shelter!), a separate billiards room, and full laundry.

The house is engineered to be as efficient and environmentally friendly as a house of this stature can be. The on-demand hot water, efficient baseboard heat, modern central Air Conditioning on the main floor, water recovery systems, 18-inch thick walls, and new windows and doors show how environmental concerns can be incorporated into your comfort and everyday luxury.

The Garden provides full privacy while allowing grand views of the mountains. The patio area has a dining table seating 12 in a protected area with an outdoor wood fireplace, with a separate seating area with firepit. A separate walled area allows sunning on chaise lounges or play, depending on your whim. The horseshoe pit allows outdoor group entertainment. The large evergreen tree and outdoor sculpture accentuate the natural and creative atmosphere of Santa Fe.

In addition, there is a 1400 square foot 2-bedroom apartment, which can be made available for a larger family reunion or holiday. It has its own entrance but is easily accessible into the house. The great room has a living area with convertible queen sleeper sofa, smart TV, a dining area with table and chairs for 6, and a granite counter, stainless steel full kitchen. The two bedrooms share a full bath and each has a full size bed and garden views. The apartment also has a full laundry. Rental of this optional apartment is not available except in connection with a rental of the main house.

The house is a short walk to the Plaza and its shopping, restaurants, and galleries, so there is no need to worry about parking and getting around downtown Santa Fe. It is also near a municipal playground and swimming pool and gymnasium, as well as on the way to local spas, skiing, and the Opera.

Contacts are available for the extra help you made need to have the truly relaxing visit you are looking for. Cooking staff, cleaners, or even massage therapists will make your stay perfect.

The nightly rent for the apartment is shown as separate "property fee" in the Quote provided by Vrbo/Homeaway.

Large Casa
Great for large groups especially if the additional apartment area is rented out. Very Nice place to be in as well as the big space out back.

Great location and views
We held a family reunion for 8 people here. Best features are location (10-15 walk from Santa Fe plaza), multiple gathering spaces for the whole group around tables inside and in outside seating areas, and the views over the hills of Santa Fe. There are stairs, but our group was able to handle that. Easy access to sites out of town as well. Recommend for groups.

Wedding Stay
The house was ideal for my husband, myself, and my family as we united for the weekend of our daughters wedding. The large kitchen and dining area gave us a chance to cook and gather together, and even watch the beautiful fall thunderstorms. The location was perfect for our needs.

Why they chose this property

I rented a number of properties in Santa Fe before deciding to buy and "gut-rehab" my home. The combination of large square footage, great mountain views, gardens with privacy, and easy to walk location is ideal for my family, friends, and guests.

What makes this property unique

My large T-shape driveway allows ample parking for those driving to escape the Western heat during the summer. Guests are thrilled at close to the Plaza my home is, but still has large outdoor space and views as if you were several miles, rather than blocks from downtown.
