About this property

Unique combination of Space, Views, Plaza, Privacy, and Garden

Casa Junipero is shielded behind 5 large juniper trees. A flagpole in front pays tribute to its former life as a boarding school. A complete re-imagining of the interior and grounds created this 5400 square foot luxury home sleeps 14 people with up to 7 bedrooms and 5-1/2 baths, all under one roof. The rear walled garden has a landmark pine tree flanked on one side by two social areas, a fireplace by the dining table for cool nights, and cocktail seating around a fire pit. The other side of the pine has a separate private area with chaise lounges for sunning and tetherball.

Just a 4 block walk to the museums, galleries, and restaurants of the Plaza, Casa Junipero is the perfect place for a family reunion, 'girls getaway' or group retreat. Gorgeous views cover mountains, local parks, the Cathedral tower, and the Statehouse. The complete modern renovation and interior design complement the open feel of the beautiful skies and mountains while assuring privacy and comfort. The contemporary and transitional furnishings and lustrous diamond plaster walls and modern art to create a very unique environment for your Santa Fe vacation.

Oak floors, granite countertops, steel, glass, and leather furniture are found throughout the house. The Living room and Dining room are spacious and open with large windows showing the city and mountain views and sunsets. The 11-foot long granite dining table sits 10-12 comfortably. The eat-in Kitchen has plenty of granite counter workspace and quality stainless steel fixtures, including a Bosch dishwasher and oven range.

The Master Suite has a pillow top queen bed, large smart TV, walk-in glass tile rain shower, twin sinks, and separate soaking tub. It connects to the Study as well as has French doors directly to the garden. The Study/5th BR has a large smart TV, work desk, queen sleeper sofa, and a full bath with tub and shower.

The other 2 bedrooms on the main floor are isolated and share a full bath. One has two twin beds (perfect for kids or singles) and the other has a queen bed and TV and cable. The oversized Guest Suite has a queen bed, TV, Wifi, sitting area, and a full bath. The house includes a massage room (which was once the bomb shelter!), a separate billiards room, and full laundry.

The house is engineered to be as efficient and environmentally friendly as a house of this stature can be. The on-demand hot water, efficient baseboard heat, modern central Air Conditioning on the main floor, water recovery systems, 18-inch thick walls, and windows and doors show how environmental concerns can be incorporated into your comfort and everyday luxury.

The Garden provides full privacy while allowing grand views of the mountains. The patio area has a dining table seating 12 in a protected area with an outdoor wood fireplace, with a separate seating area with firepit. A separate walled area allows sunning on chaise lounges or play, depending on your whim. The horseshoe pit allows outdoor group entertainment. The large evergreen tree and outdoor sculpture accentuate the natural and creative atmosphere of Santa Fe.

In addition, there is a 1400 square foot 2-bedroom apartment, which can be made available for a larger family reunion or holiday. It has its own entrance but is easily accessible into the house. The great room has a living area with convertible queen sleeper sofa, smart TV, a dining area with table and chairs for 6, and a granite counter, stainless steel full kitchen. The two bedrooms share a full bath and each has a queen size bed and garden views. The apartment also has a full laundry. Rental of this optional apartment is not available except in connection with a rental of the main house.

The house is a short walk to the Plaza and its shopping, restaurants, and galleries, so there is no need to worry about parking and getting around downtown Santa Fe. It is also near a municipal playground and swimming pool and gymnasium, as well as on the way to local spas, skiing, and the Opera.

Contacts are available for the extra help you made need to have the truly relaxing visit you are looking for. Cooking staff, cleaners, or even massage therapists will make your stay perfect.

The nightly rent for the apartment is shown as separate "property fee" in the Quote provided by Vrbo/Homeaway.

This is an amazing property for a large group! It is spacious to hang out, but can also spread out to have your own space. There are many bathrooms, which is a must with a large group. It's in a great location, easy walk to the plaza and 10 minute drive to go hiking. Mark is easy to communicate with, which made our stay even better. Highly recommend if you are wanting to visit Santa Fe!

The house was spacious with a walkable location and beautiful mountain views. Great restaurants and museums were minutes away. The house itself was clean, the living room and dining areas were cozy and inviting for large group gatherings while there were numerous bedrooms for privacy. Two areas of comfort could be tweaked: 2 ply tp and a shelf or shower bench in the master suite to place shampoo and soap on instead of the floor. Otherwise a lovely home to enjoy family and friends while in Santa Fe.

The property was in a good location for walking into town. The host was prompt to respond to communication. However, the air conditioning did not work and the home was 80 degrees for 75% of our stay ( repair people finally came). The beds are extremely uncomfortable and the home shows signs of wear and tear. No one in our group said that they would ever stay there again.

A disappointing rating, especially since guests both the week before and a then a week later awarded 5 star 10s! As I shared in calls, the A/C system was both fine and not needed: temperatures were 70/50s. The issue was the separate heating system was always on. My plumber made emergency visit and said it was so warm because some individual zone thermostats were not off! This followed a special ‘wear-and-tear’ email that 1 of the 4 lightbulbs in one of the 5-1/2 baths was out. Would I send someone to fix it that night? I did get someone the next day and was told the bulb was simply loose. A friend reminded me that “Even Goldilocks hated 2/3 of the beds at her host’s house!” and to send good luck wishes to whoever hosts this group next--and happy thanks for the hundreds of guests who have loved my home as much as I do.

Spectacular house, especially for a large group. Ideally located for quick walks into town while providing unbeatable outdoor spaces and views. Unbelievably spacious so that we could gather but also spread out to have our own spaces. One of the best rentals ever. Also the best host I have ever had. Throughout the process, Mark was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He offered great recommendations and offered explicit instructions for enjoying the house and Santa Fe. He made us feel so welcome; I felt as if I were staying at a trusted friend’s house. I spent my 80th birthday staying at Mark’s house, and he and his house ensured that this birthday was my most memorable ever. I highly recommend the house, location, and host!Better than the five stars that were available! Hoping for more birthdays at this house!

This is an outstanding home for a group visiting Santa Fe. It's well spread out so that everyone can have their own space and yet there are numerous places in the home and outside for hanging out. The area is perfect as it's easy walking to downtown or Canyon Road, and yet it is residential and quiet. There's a lot of birds, which I enjoyed. We did have an issue with equipment when we arrived and Mark was very responsive. All in all, a great stay and I hope to get back quickly, as there's nothing like Santa Fe.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

I rented a number of properties in Santa Fe before deciding to buy and "gut-rehab" my home. The combination of large square footage, great mountain views, gardens with privacy, and easy to walk location is ideal for my family, friends, and guests.

What makes this property unique

My large T-shape driveway allows ample parking for those driving to escape the Western heat during the summer. Guests are thrilled at close to the Plaza my home is, but still has large outdoor space and views as if you were several miles, rather than blocks from downtown.
