About this property

Elegant 3 bedroom home with stunning views and 5 star reviews!

Charming, Lovely or "Encantado" this perfectly appointed 2800 square foot, three bedroom home awaits your visit to Santa Fe. The property is sited on five peaceful acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, approximately 12 miles northeast of the Santa Fe Plaza. You can easily drive to the plaza and downtown in about 20 minutes, passing the Four Seasons Resort, thru the village of Tesuque with its few galleries and hip restaurants or hop easily on the highway and head north to explore Taos and Abiquiu.
So much adventure awaits your visit to New Mexico and Casa Encantado is the perfect base from which to explore. Return home to the tranquil portal, light a fire in the outdoor fireplace and enjoy the uninterrupted mountain views and solitude.
Filled with numerous New Mexican style touches, this home is intimate enough for one couple yet spacious and functionally designed for two couples or a family. Highlights include an open kitchen/dining/living area and two spacious bedroom suites. Fireplace in the great room creates additional warmth and festivity. Soothingly cool plaster walls, unique artwork, heated wood flooring, classic beam ceilings, and handsome finishes accentuate each room, creating a magical, relaxed, and unaffected ambiance. Plentiful windows and skylights create a gorgeous natural glow within and allow for appreciation of the marvelous surroundings and breathtaking views. The bedroom suites are located at either side of the house, creating privacy for all guests. The queen suite has a separate sitting room that can be used as the third bedroom for young adults and or children with its queen sized pullout sofa.
All of this opens to lovely gardens in the front entrance courtyard, a spacious 1500 square foot portal with dining and lounging areas, outdoor fireplace and gas grill and leads to nice walking on dirt roads and trails thru the community.

We would be delighted to have you enjoy our home!

The house is meticulously cleaned and maintained with a well equipped gourmet kitchen, fine tableware, crisp linens, puffy towels and pillows...making your stay so comfortable you may be torn between exploring New Mexico or relaxing at home and gazing at the sunset!

This is the third time we have stayed at this beautiful home in Tesuque. When we walked in the door last week, my husband commented, “it’s good to be home!” Melissa has thought of everything - from firewood, specialty coffee, warm blankets and a kitchen equipped for a chef, to luxury bath products, and even a stocked beverage fridge! It is absolutely perfect, and in my opinion, it is the finest view anywhere in Santa Fe. We look forward to going back to stay in this very special home.

Fabulous home away from home!

Casa Encantado, was the perfect getaway our family was looking for! We had the pleasure of staying during the artic winter storm Uri, with over 2 1/2 total feet of snow it was a true winter wonderland! The house and property included all the comforts of home and more. We had everything you could ask for in the chefs kitchen and all the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. The views from the back porch are amazing for sunrise and sunset. We will definitely be back soon!

Beautiful Views!

This is a very nice house all on one level. It is up in the hills so it has some of the best views you can find. It is on a good long street for taking walks. The property manager is welcoming and helpful with everything. Has a large back patio where the best views are. Quiet neighborhood with large lots with houses that blend into the scenery. It's not too far from town but there are also some great restaurants nearby.

Beautiful and scenic stay in Santa Fe.

We love this house and its peaceful location. It’s our second time staying here! It is an excellent home for friends or family to gather, unwind, and connect. My wife loves reading in the front courtyard, watching the birds visit the fountain and feeders, and sipping on coffee prepared from local ground coffee/espresso beans that are provided. Melissa is a most welcoming host who takes excellent care of the property and guests. We appreciate her quick responses and availability if we have questions.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Stoller

Host profile image
We have a wonderful property manager, Melissa, who has lived in Santa Fe most of her life. We are the owners, David and Susan.
Many years ago, when the kids were little, we'd often vacation in Santa Fe or stop there on the way north to Colorado. One year, we said, "You know, some day we might want to retire to Santa Fe. Why don't we rent a house there and see what's it's like?" We ended up booking a rental near Santa Fe in the foothills of the Sangre in a place called "Vista Redonda".

When we turned into the neighborhood, all I could say was "wow". I didn't want to leave and basically we spent the whole week on the portal watching the mountains and the sky with ever changing play of clouds, light, and shadows.

Late one afternoon, while taking a walk, we came across an empty lot in the neighborhood with an old rusted sign, "For sale by Owner" and a faded phone number-barely legible. We looked at each other and said "why don't we copy down that phone number? We love it here - and you never know."

We ended up calling that faded phone number and eventually buying the lot. And after many more passing years, we worked with a local architect and builder to design and construct the beautiful home that we now call "Casa Encantado".

When people ask me, "Why did you pick Santa Fe, I reply, "we live in Vista Redonda." And when they ask "Why Vista Redonda?" I reply "You just have got to see it".

As a young boy, I can still remember hiking to the top of a small hill, looking out toward the horizon and saying to myself - Someday I want to build a house with a view." Thus we have Casa Encantado.

Why they chose this property

When you step through the front door of Casa Encantado, the vista opens up to all of Northern New Mexico. As you walk in – a feeling of peace comes over you. When you go through to the portal and see the snowcapped peaks or the thunderheads building over the Rio Grande valley and watch the ravens swooping in the updrafts – a sense of freedom and relaxation sets in. Why this property? Because of the way it makes you feel.

What makes this property unique

Located at an elevation of 7000 feet on the edge of a high desert mesa, tranquil privacy at Casa Encantado is assured by five acres – dotted with juniper and pinon trees. The view is expansive – ranging from the peak at Santa Fe Baldy at 12,000 feet – across the Rio Grande Valley to the river at 5,500 and then back up to the lights of Los Alamos in the distant Jemez.

But while providing a sense of isolation, Casa Encantado is only a short drive from all of the world class amenities that Santa Fe has to offer.

Rancho Encantado Santa Fe is a five-star Four Seasons resort located five minutes away. The resort offers a spa, fine dining and a cozy bar where you will often run into visiting celebrities.

Ten minutes gets you to the Tesuque Village Market – a great family “roadhouse” offering burgers, salads, soups, pizza and outstanding margaritas.

The Santa Fe Opera is only 15 minutes away.

And then, of course – the Santa Fe Plaza – and all of the restaurants, shopping, galleries and museums there – is about a 20-minute drive.

Most residents and visitors enjoy long walks through the neighborhood – around the mesas and down through the arroyos. There are also numerous parks and cultural sites in the area for day trips and hikes.

In the winter, skiing is great. Ski Santa Fe is about a 45-minute drive – an easy day drip. The world renown Taos Ski Valley is about 2 hours.

In terms of the house itself – one visitor observed – “this place is like a jewel”. All the finishes, from the custom plaster, oak cabinets, granite and limestone countertops, original New Mexico walnut floors are “first class”. The entry is finished in dry stacked stone – an homage to the Anastasi of Chaco.

In short – unique benefits? We think that Casa Encantado is special because it offers a unique combination of privacy, comfort, beauty, activities and access to culture and amenities that no other place in Santa Fe can match. We think you will want to come back.
