A breathtaking view of the mountains unfolds before you at this luxury home in the heart of El Dorado. In this scenic community just south of Santa Fe, you'll have a private hot tub and a patio with both sun and shade - both of which enjoy spectacular views of the desert and the sparkling night sky.
Step inside to be greeted by beautiful beamed ceilings and pieces of art, crafts, and textiles inspired by the Southwest. The great room features picture windows and two-story ceilings, creating a lovely spot to recline on the sofas or curl up beside the wood-burning fireplace in swivel glider La-Z-Boy chairs and stream movies on the TV.
The kitchen is open and elegant, offering stainless steel appliances, patterned tile backsplash, and a peninsula breakfast bar for six. There's an indoor dining room table for eight, as well as a gas grill, a table and chairs, and a chimenea for evenings spent outside on the patio.
The four bedrooms - all of which have flatscreen TVs - include a primary suite with a fireplace and a spa-like bathroom, a second bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a third guest room, and a chic bunk room that's wonderful for kids. Leave the day's clothes to spin in the private washer/dryer off the kitchen as you unwind in the outdoor hot tub or in the primary bathroom's deep soaking tub. Enjoy radiant floor heating and mini-split air-conditioning throughout, plus every room has its own temperature control. An electric vehicle charger adds convenience during your stay.
