Apache is functioning normally

Four bedrooms, 11 acres, and under 30 minutes from downtown Santa Fe?

That’s exactly what the next owners of this dreamy retreat at 86 Sabino Gonzales Road in Glorieta, NM, will enjoy.

The colorfully decorated, artist’s paradise is listed for $1.7 million. It comes with everything a creative type might need, including a newly built guest casita and dedicated studio space.

Tucked into its own valley, the property’s primary residence was originally designed by the renowned New Mexico-based architect Bart Prince.

The 1996 build features a modern, glass and steel construction with plenty of natural light. The soaring, geometric spaces provide a constant connection to the surrounding nature.

Highlights of the main residence include a dramatic, sloping roof line; a sunken conversation area with a fireplace; and walls of glass.

Artful living

Beyond the main, open floor plan and two private-access suites that comprise the original construction, the home has a newer living space that would be ideal for guests or renters.

“They added an entirely new casita,” says listing agent David Fries, of Sotheby’s International Realty in Santa Fe.

The separate, two-bedroom, three-bath house was built in 2021 and comes with all the modern trappings, plus some unique architectural charm.

“There’s a really cool, double-sided fireplace and a separate artist’s studio—the deceased owner was a prolific artist,” Fries explains.

‘Amazing connection with nature’

With direct national forest access and the Pecos Wilderness just around the corner, the property offers a special escape for anyone looking to get out into the natural world.

“The property has an amazing connection with nature,” Fries says. “There’s a stream with trails, a natural spring, and tons of beautiful rock outcroppings.”
