About this property

Sandia Heights Getaway_VIEWS, UPSCALE, 3BR

NEW LISTING..We now offer two superb options for your stay in Albuquerque. Please see listing Sandia Heights Getaway vrbo # 276702 or vrbo #829002. These properties are right next door to one another if you need to rent both for larger groups contact owner.
Nestled in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains this newly remodeled home is the perfect location for your stay in Albuquerque.There is nothing in this home that is not BRAND NEW! Unbelievable views of the mountain can be seen from the wall of windows adjacent to the living room and dining room.
Located just off Tramway Blvd and Paseo Del Norte this home provides easy access to the many nearby sites. The 'World's Longest Tram' is basically in your backyard. Enjoy a spectacular ride to the top of the mountain where a day of skiing or hiking awaits you or just take a ride to enjoy a fine dining experience at High Finance Restaurant. If you are wanting a more casual dining experience, I recommend the Mexican restaurant at the base of the tram which offers a spectacular view from the patio. Enjoy a mango margarita while viewing a spectacular New Mexico sunset.

If you are feeling lucky only a few more minutes down the hill you will find Sandia Resort and Casino offers the largest gaming facility in the state. The resort features a top rated golf course, spa facilities, restaurants, live entertainment and dancing. Don't forget to check out the buffalo that you can see from the road on the way down.

If you are wanting to get some exercise mountain bikes are available upon request. The bike trail is only a minute away. Don't be surprised if you pass some quail or 'beep-beep' there goes a road runner.

Forgot some essentials? A new CVS pharmacy is two minutes away. Other close by shopping includes Alberston's, Trader Joes, Barnes and Nobles, Target, and Kohls.

Once your day is complete you can relax in contemporary southwestern flair. Our home provides a spacious living area with hardwood floors and high ceilings that feature famous New Mexico artist's work.

A 65'' and 50'' flat screen LCD in both the master bedroom and living room with Direct TV. Wireless internet for your laptop is available also.
The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances with a top quality kitchenware to prepare meals that can be enjoyed at the bar or at the gorgeous dining room table that can seat up to 6 people.

This home is the perfect retreat with large backyard with waterfall and pond. Fully fenced and private courtyard entrance provides plenty of room.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Hoffee

Host profile image
Welcome to my casa! Originally from Louisiana, I came to the 'Land of Enchantment' on a tennis scholarship from the University of New Mexico. After graduation I decided to make Albuquerque my home. It is simply a wonderful place to live. In fact, I live right in Sandia Heights as well. So if there are any issues or help I can provide I am happy to help immediately. It is like having your own concierge at your disposal. Because I tennis allowed me to travel much of my life, I feel I have a good understanding what a traveler requires. I always preferred housing over hotels. The unique aspect of this house is that everything is brand new in it. From the flooring to the light fixtures, toilets, sinks, showers, furnishings, dinnerware, EVERYTHING! It is meticulously clean yet extremely comfortable with all modern amenities in an excellent location. I look forward to your stay!

Why they chose this property

This is a very unique property that has as of fall 2015 was completely renovated from floor to ceiling. Features a very large separate master bedroom and en suite with sliding door to the courtyard entrance and two additional large bedrooms with queen size beds with a full bath.
The living features a perfect place to relax in front of a huge entertainment wall with 65" smart tv and romantic pellet stove. Watch the tram go up and down the mountain from morning till night right from the living room.
Two patios await you in the backyard with BBQ grill and soothing and relaxing waterfall. Wonderful landscaping and fully fenced large backyard with roses and more are just part of the package at this home. Truly upscale and tranquil space to enjoy your vacation.
