Some round ceremonial places are built for stargazing or tracking the movements of celestial bodies. Others, like the circular kiva-like entrance to this Bishop's Lodge home, point the eye toward another kind of visual splendor—namely, the breathtaking Jemez Mountains, captured dramatically by a wall of windows rising nearly the entire height of the soaring ceilings. The residence was designed to have the best of New Mexico's earth and sky on constant display. Sliding glass doors open from the dining area and kitchen area to an inviting outdoor space with a stacked-stone fireplace, a built-in grill, and a hot tub. The blue, bronze, blonde, and copper of the lustrous plaster walls, natural wood vigas, latillas, square cut beams, adzed wood doors and shelving, slate and wood floors, wood cabinetry, and natural stone countertops echo the palette of the landscape. The master suite features a corner kiva fireplace and its own sumptuous bath with separate vanities, a soaking tub, a discreet water closet, and two walk-in closets. Two guest suites, each with a bath, are positioned for consummate privacy. An oversized finished garaged located off the mudroom and utility area offers the convenience of direct entry as well as plentiful storage space. With protected views and a spacious single-level floorplan, this home is a distinctive setting for exceptional living.
