From the Agents: "This one-of-a-kind contemporary retreat is situated in a private valley just 25 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza. The primary residence was designed by famed architect Bart Prince and features soaring rooflines, glass, and steel while maintaining comfort and purpose. The open floor plan is both breathtaking and accessible, with a constant connection to the surrounding nature. There are two primary suites with private access, inviting outdoor spaces, and cozy woodburning fireplaces. A short walk from the main residence is a newly built (2021) two-bedroom, three-bath house with all the modern trappings. The structure offers warm finishes, a double-sided fireplace and a detached third bedroom/studio space. The current owner has occupied the property part-time, while also earning income by utilizing portions of the property as vacation rentals."
