About this property

Casa Ursula - a hillside gem with Sangre de Cristo views, 10 min. walk to Plaza

This beautifully remodeled 1950s gem blends classic Santa Fe character with modern comfort, featuring vigas, hardwood and travertine floors, and an open-concept layout anchored by a gourmet kitchen with a large island. Two inviting porches offer sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Fort Marcy, and downtown—perfect for stargazing, cloud-watching, or enjoying the moon as it rolls over the peaks.

Ideally located, the home is just a 12-minute walk to the Plaza, 10 minutes to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and 20 minutes to the Railyard. It’s an ideal retreat for families or couples looking to experience Santa Fe’s vibrant art scene, galleries, music, opera, world-class cuisine, and the historic Spanish Market. With an average of 320 sunny days per year, Santa Fe is also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering skiing, mountain biking, golfing, hiking, river rafting, and more.

Spacious and comfortable, Casa Ursula accommodates up to six guests. The welcoming living room features travertine floors, plush seating gathered around a kiva-style wood-burning fireplace, and a large QLED TV for streaming your favorite shows and movies. The extra-long dining table is perfect for family meals, game nights, or setting up your laptop to take advantage of the complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi (600 Mbps). The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a generous island with breakfast bar seating, and well-stocked cabinets with cookware, dinnerware, spices, and utensils for effortless home-cooked meals.

Casa Ursula offers three spacious, well-appointed bedrooms with ceiling fans, two of which enjoy mountain views. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second and third bedrooms each offer queen-size beds. A dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer allows you to pack light and stay comfortable throughout your stay.

Outdoor living is just as inviting. The back patio includes a grill and dining table overlooking a beautifully landscaped yard—ideal for enjoying New Mexico’s mild weather. The front patio features a comfortable sofa where you can sip morning coffee while listening to a bubbling water feature and birdsong, or unwind in the evening with wine and cheese under the stars.

Centrally located, the home sits across from the Santa Fe Pickleball Club and courts, Fort Marcy’s pool and fitness facilities, and a nearby playground. World-renowned attractions—including the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, New Mexico History Museum, the historic Plaza, San Miguel Chapel, and the Basilica—are all within a 10-minute walk, while the home itself remains a peaceful, secluded retreat from the bustle of downtown.

Area attractions within 30-90 minutes drive are the Bandelier National Monument where you can explore cliff dwellings, the Ghost Ranch and Georgia O'Keeffe house in Abiquiu, Valles Caldera, Los Alamos, the Christ of the Desert Monastery, and many other area attractions.

Absolutely perfect accommodations for a girls weekend! The house so clean and so well equipped. The host was perfect at balancing communication and privacy and was quick to respond to questions and recommendation requests. Waking up to the beautiful view from the front porch was dreamy, and the home details were both high end and comfortable! Highly recommend a stay at this very cool home

We couldn't wait to come back. We had a fantastic stay here last year and our stay has been equally as wonderful this year. The house could not be better and the location is excellent. The owner has perfectly married the history and age of the house with modern conveniences. Hope to be back next year.

Awesome experience for women's trip

Great location! Everything we wanted to do was about 10 minutes or less from the house. We enjoyed sitting outside on the top deck at night for star viewing and sitting on the front porch with our morning coffee. The living area and kitchen is the perfect size for a group of 6 adults.

Beautifully appointed home

We stayed at Casa Ursula September 27 to October 3. The house, with beautiful views, is well situated - near the Plaza and surrounding areas. The house is very clean and the bedding is sumptuous. There is attractive art work throughout. Ursula was always responsive to inquiries. We highly recommend this property for your stay in Santa Fe.

3 days in santa fe

Absolutely amazing house, property and the view. You can feel that the house received a lot of love and attention from the owner: everything is thought through, functions and esthetically pleasing. Gorgeous view, can see the sunrise, even a little trail to go up to a meditation/view bench. Easy walk slightly downhill to the plaza, about 15min. 5 min drive to a plaza with all the convenience stores/pharmacy/supermarket. Very comfortable beds. Everyone in the family enjoyed the stay. We ll be back there when visiting Santa Fe next time!

Classic Santa Fe with modern amenities

The property is pristine, comfortable and stylishly decorated. It was in a great location, views were wonderful, and we felt very welcome. I would recommend it to anyone and hope to come back! My only feedback would be to offer some fans as there is no air conditioning. I was traveling with an older person, and we were quite warm, hard to sleep. I recognize the weather was unusually hot, but just would have been good to be prepared.

High Desert Gem

My sister and I were traveling with our 87 y/o aunt. This was her first visit to Santa Fe and this house contributed significantly to her enjoyment of the area. This house was a lovely stay from the start to finish. The house and grounds were interesting, comfortable, spacious, and well stocked along w/beautiful art at every turn. The grounds of the house were extensive and offered several outdoor seating areas to enjoy the panoramic desert and mountain views. The owner was responsive to before and t/o our visit if I had questions. Really could not have asked for more.

About the host

Hosted by Ursula Hammes

Host profile image
I am originally from Nuremberg, Germany and have lived in the USA since 34 years. I am a geologist and work from my home. For fun, I love to trail run, road and mountain bike, ski, swim, practice yoga, go dancing and travel. I also love to go to museums and galleries as well as attend the opera and symphony in Austin and Santa Fe. At the moment I split my time between Austin and Santa Fe.

Why they chose this property

This wonderful house on the hillside close to the Plaza of Santa Fe, hiking trails, dog park, Fort Marcy, bike trails and ski area lured us with it's charm to buy it as a second home. We spend about half of the time in Santa Fe and the other time in Austin, TX. When we are not using it we are making it available for other guests to enjoy. We hope you love it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to Plaza, close to galleries, ski area and hiking and biking trails. Star-gazing and enjoying the beautiful New Mexico weather.
