On 5.8 acres in Sunlit Hills, this exceptional artist's retreat offers a residence, a modern studio, idyllic outdoor spaces, and inspiring privacy and scenery, all only 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. Designed by South Africa–based architect Malcolm Worby, known for his dedication to sustainable building and renewable energy, the home features two owner’s suites—one on each level—a well-separated guest suite, an elegant living room with an impressive wood-burning fireplace and space for a baby grand piano, a bright skylit den with Sangre de Cristo foothills views, a welcoming dining room with a fireplace, and a remodeled kitchen with a large pantry and utility room. The upper-level bedroom has a "secret" study accessed via a whimsical book-embellished door, a roomy walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spacious deck offering spectacular star gazing opportunities and far-reaching vistas of seven mountain ranges. The two-room studio can accommodate more than one artist and features concrete floors, a loft, a sizeable bath with a shower, extensive use of glass and metal, and secure storage for supplies. A generous patio with a hot tub and a sun sail encourages outdoor living and entertaining. The Santa Fe Rail Trail is nearby, and horses are welcome.
