One of the most magnificent contemporary homes in Santa Fe, this new residence and guesthouse in the coveted northside enclave of Monte Sereno was designed and built by Dressel Construction. The heart of the main residence is a spectacular showplace for grand gatherings or quiet moments of private relaxation and reflection while appreciating Santa Fe’s impossibly blue skies and the majesty of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains and the Badlands. Open, airy, and inviting, it includes a strikingly dramatic wine room, a wet bar, and a vast living space with walls of glass affording a cinematic view and opening to an equally inspiring portal and patio with a pool. A media room and a library or office adjoin, offering more intimate spaces for day-to-day living and tasks. Nearby, an elegant kitchen includes a host of superior appliances and surface along with a well-equipped plating kitchen, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast area with built-in seating and portal access. The owner’s suite and a versatile additional room—ideal for an office or in-law suite—are secluded in their own wing, while a pair of guest bedroom suites enjoy the privacy of their own wing accessed by a sunlit hallway. A three-car garage completes the lavish picture. Across a dramatic motor court with a central fountain is a charming two-bedroom guesthouse with a well-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, a fireplace, and spaces for outdoor enjoyment. The nearly three-acre property—consisting of a rare combination of two lots—is accessed via a regal gated drive, basks in stunning views from its enviable perch, and enjoys unprecedented peace and privacy. Native flora surrounds the estate, and the hallways of the main residence open to a dazzling landscaped courtyard with a modern water feature. Monte Sereno is a desirable community located near the world-renowned Santa Fe Opera and a short drive from the historic Plaza and other attractions.
