Welcome to Casa Vega Verde, a private Santa Fe retreat surrounded by piñon, juniper, and sweeping high-desert mountain views. Beautifully renovated in summer 2026, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence blends timeless Southwestern architecture with refined contemporary comforts.
Two king bedrooms, three private patios, and an exceptional setting invite you to unwind in the quiet beauty of Tesuque—approximately nine miles from Santa Fe Plaza and directly across the road from Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado.
Highlights include:
- Three private patios, including one covered, for leisurely mornings, sunset cocktails, and evenings beneath the stars.
- Two traditional kiva fireplaces, one decorative, plus a telescope and astronomical binoculars for stargazing.
- A peaceful setting within a private 95-acre community of just 36 homes.
- Access to a shared seasonal heated pool and covered ping-pong area.
SOUTHWESTERN SOUL, FRESH COMFORTS
Exposed wood vigas, warm brick and tile floors, Southwestern art and textiles, and traditional kiva fireplaces give Casa Vega Verde its distinctive character. Quartz countertops, quartzite and glass tables, and thoughtfully selected furnishings bring contemporary sophistication to this classic Pueblo-style retreat.
Completely transformed in summer 2026, the kitchen features all-new appliances and elegant quartz countertops. Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, with new showers, fixtures, and finishes throughout.
Comfortable living-room seating invites long conversations, another chapter, or a pleasantly ambitious afternoon nap.
The raised dining area is perfect for leisurely meals, whether you've prepared something wonderful or expertly unpacked takeout. And for an evening out, the Four Seasons bar and restaurant are conveniently located across the road.
A new washer and dryer make extended stays especially comfortable.
TWO KING BEDROOMS. NO COIN TOSS REQUIRED.
Both bedrooms feature king-size beds, 100% cotton sheets, wood flooring, and direct patio access. No one has to settle for the smaller bed.
The Primary Suite
A peaceful retreat featuring exposed wood beams, an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious rain shower, and a traditional decorative kiva fireplace accented with handcrafted glazed pottery and tile.
Step onto the north-facing patio for rolling-hill views, or enjoy your morning coffee on the south-facing covered patio.
Getting dressed first is entirely a matter of ambition.
The Second King Bedroom
Equally inviting, the second bedroom features a king bed, private outdoor access, and a patio with a traditional outdoor chiminea.
A beautifully updated full bathroom is conveniently located in the hallway.
A telescope stands ready for anyone whose curiosity extends beyond the next hillside.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXHALE
Casa Vega Verde occupies a desirable northeastern corner of Pueblo Encantado, a private community of just 36 homes spread across 95 acres.
With open views to the north, east, and south, the casita offers a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding high-desert landscape.
Here, the pace is slower, the skies seem bigger, and plans have a pleasant way of becoming less specific.
That's perfectly acceptable.
THREE PATIOS. FIND YOUR FAVORITE.
Morning coffee. Afternoon reading. Sunset cocktails. Midnight stargazing.
Three private outdoor spaces offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy Santa Fe's extraordinary climate and natural beauty.
Whether you're watching the sunlight move across the hills, enjoying a quiet conversation, or simply doing absolutely nothing, there's a patio for every mood.
Guests also enjoy access to Pueblo Encantado's shared seasonal heated swimming pool and covered ping-pong area.
The pool is generally open and heated from Memorial Day through Labor Day, subject to the community's schedule.
A little friendly competition is welcome. So is doing nothing at all.
WHEN DAYLIGHT FADES AND THE SKY CLEARS
Come for the mountain views. Stay for the stars.
Away from the brighter lights of downtown Santa Fe, evenings at Casa Vega Verde invite you to discover the beauty of the high-desert night sky.
A telescope in the second bedroom and astronomical binoculars on the dining-area shelves are available for guests.
Search for constellations, watch for shooting stars, or simply settle in and enjoy the extraordinary view overhead.
You may even hear the neighborhood owls philosophizing at 2 a.m.
Excellent conversationalists, although their conclusions remain somewhat mysterious.
Knowing the names of the constellations is optional. Looking up is the lovely part.
SANTA FE, WHEN YOU'RE READY
Casa Vega Verde offers the tranquility of Tesuque while keeping Santa Fe's celebrated art, culture, restaurants, and outdoor adventures within easy reach.
Spend an afternoon browsing the galleries along Canyon Road, exploring the historic Plaza, or discovering the shops, museums, and restaurants of downtown Santa Fe.
Visit the Railyard, attend a performance at the Santa Fe Opera, or take a culinary class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking.
For a memorable evening close to home, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado is directly across the road.
