Nestled among mature ponderosa pines near the top of a hill in Apache Ridge, this three-bedroom, three-bath home exemplifies casual elegance with its high-end finishes, open floor plan, stunning views of the surrounding wilderness, and end-of-the-road privacy. With its construction of 10-inch Rastra—insulated compound concrete form—this home enjoys dramatically reduced heating and cooling bills and reduced maintenance while providing a quiet indoor environment. Stylistic elements include semigloss flagstone flooring, ceiling vigas, rough-sawn decking, granite countertops, maple cabinets, hard-troweled tinted plaster walls, and antique custom interior doors with Asian provenance that complement the Santa Fe vernacular. A deck for relaxing and dining is easily accessible from public spaces, as is an outdoor entertainment venue off the cook's kitchen that provides shelter from the prevailing southwesterly winds. The oversized attached garage currently serves as an art studio but could easily be restored to its original purpose. A carport provides sheltered parking. The home is less than 10 minutes from dining venues, amenities, and shopping along the Eldorado corridor or a quick drive from Santa Fe.
