Private Luxury Retreat, Close Santa Fe Opera, Four Seasons, 9 miles to Plaza

Welcome to Casa Vega Verde, an exquisite and private Santa Fe retreat surrounded by piñon, juniper, and sweeping high-desert mountain views. Fully renovated in summer 2026, this two-bedroom, two-bath (equally private and updated) residence pairs timeless Southwestern architecture with refined contemporary finishes. Two king bedrooms and three private patios offer space to unwind in the quiet beauty of Tesuque—approximately nine miles from Santa Fe Plaza and across the road from Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado.

• Three private patios, including one covered, for leisurely mornings and evenings beneath the stars
• Two traditional kiva fireplaces—one decorative—and a telescope for stargazing
• An intimate setting within a private, 95-acre community of just 36 homes

SOUTHWESTERN SOUL, FRESH COMFORTS

Exposed wood vigas, warm brick and tile floors, quartz countertops, quartzite and glass tables, Southwestern art and textiles, and two traditional kiva fireplaces give the casita its character. The primary-bedroom fireplace is decorative — a lovely home for candlelight — while the living-room fireplace welcomes real wood fires during the permitted season.

Completely transformed in summer 2026, the kitchen features all-new appliances and elegant quartz countertops, while the bathrooms have been renewed in every detail—from brand-new showers to every fixture and finish. Refined contemporary comforts meet the warmth of traditional Pueblo design.

Comfortable living-room seating invites long conversations, another chapter, or a pleasantly ambitious afternoon nap. The raised dining area makes room for leisurely meals, whether guests have cooked something wonderful or expertly unpacked takeout — Happy Hour at the Four Seasons bar is right across the street. An in-home washer and dryer, new in 2026, makes longer stays easy.

Two King Bedrooms, No Coin Toss Required

Both bedrooms feature king beds, 100% cotton sheets, wood flooring, and direct patio access — everyone gets a comfortable place to retreat.

The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower, exposed wood beams, and a decorative kiva fireplace adorned with handcrafted glazed pottery and tile accents. Step onto the north-facing open patio for rolling-hill views, or ease into the day with coffee on the south-facing covered patio. Getting dressed first is entirely a matter of ambition.

The second bedroom has its own outdoor access with a chiminea, plus a full bathroom in the hallway. A telescope stands ready for anyone whose curiosity extends past the next hillside.

A LITTLE ROOM TO EXHALE

Casa Vega Verde sits at the northeastern edge of Pueblo Encantado, a private community of just 36 homes across 95 acres. With open views to the north, east, and south, this corner of the community offers privacy and space to take in the high-desert landscape. Plans may become less specific here. That's allowed.

Three Patios. Find Your Favorite.

Morning coffee. Afternoon wine. Sunset contemplation. Midnight stargazing. There's a patio for every version of a guest they might become over the next few days — and a few they haven't discovered yet.

Guests also have access to Pueblo Encantado's shared seasonal heated pool and covered ping-pong area, should a little friendly competition find its way into an otherwise very relaxed schedule. (Pool open Memorial Day–Labor Day, heating on the same schedule, per the community.)

When Daylight Fades and the Sky Clears

Come for the mountain views. Stay for the stars — and possibly the company of owls who philosophize at 2 a.m. Excellent conversationalists, though their insights are best appreciated with a glass of wine and lowered expectations. If a meteor waves back, let the host know.

A telescope in the second bedroom and astronomical binoculars on the dining-area shelves are ready for a closer look. Search for constellations, make a wish if something streaks by, or simply sit together and watch the night unfold. Knowing the names of things is optional. Looking up is the lovely part.

SANTA FE, When Guests Are Ready

Browse the galleries along Canyon Road, explore downtown's museums and shops, or spend an afternoon in the Railyard. For a culinary outing, consider a class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking — and bring a little inspiration back to the casita's kitchen.
