About this property

Unique Spacious 5BR/4BA retreat on 5 acres in scenic foothills of Tesuque

Xanadu Villa offers the ultimate in privacy, size and comfort to its guests. With 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, a living room and family room, furnished exercise room, the 4000 square feet along with another 1600 square feet of covered and open patio area this property offers plenty of options for relaxing and entertaining. From the treed 5 acre property you have views of the Jemez Mountains to the West and the Sangre de Christo Mountains and the Santa Fe ski basin to the East. The property is 8 miles North of Santa Fe in the hills of Tesuque.

Upon arrival and entering the enclosed front courtyard you are immediately struck with the uniqueness of the property. There is a large covered portal on the front side of the home with two different seating areas, one with a flaming firepit table. The thoughtfully placed hot tub and BBQ grill are placed just to the right of the portal. Adjacent to this area are the steps to the 900 square-foot observation deck with an outdoor sectional sofa and pub table with chairs and a gas heater. The views from the deck are spectacular. The sunset photos that you see were taken from this area. This deck is also conveniently accessible from the master bedroom.

Returning to the front portal you enter a covered entry 12 feet high which continues into the front of the home creating a dramatic entrance. Upon entering the home you immediately realize that a lot of thought went into maximizing the views from the home. Beautiful natural wood beams have been used throughout with wood decking above the beams and beautiful natural hardwood flooring giving the home its distinctive look. There is a large easy-flow kitchen with all new appliances and an extensive amount of storage space. The adjacent dining room has a corner fireplace and the table will adjust from a 6-person seating to seating for 10. The high ceiling and wood beams throughout the living room along with all of the tall windows make for a very comfortable gathering place. There is a gas fireplace in this room as well. There is a door leading onto a deck that offers views to the Southwest including the Santa Fe Opera. You can hear the music when the opera is in season.

Additionally, there is a full-size guest bathroom with a tub and shower on this level. When you enter the master suite once again you appreciate all of the beautiful wood beams used in the vaulted ceiling of the bedroom and the hardwood floors in the bath and closet area. There is a 4-poster bed, beautiful furniture, and a 60" TV that lowers from the ceiling. The large observation deck is also accessible from the master bedroom and there is an additional deck matching the living room area off the back side of the room with the same Southwest views including a small seating area.

The stairs to the lower level are very open with high ceilings as well and from the middle landing, you can continue down to the left leading to the family room and downstairs master bedroom or to the right leading to the 3 Queen bedrooms, the laundry and the garage area. The spacious family room also features a wood beam ceiling with wood decking and is beautifully furnished with custom-made furniture and features a bar to one side and another 65" TV that drops down from the ceiling. The views are too beautiful and since the room is all windows the drop-down TV is perfect. There is corner gas fireplace in this room as well. Just off this area is the lower level master bedroom with a King bed which is beautifully appointed, and has a 3/4 bath and walk-in closet. Around the staircase and down the hall are the 3 Queen bedrooms all of which have been thoughtfully furnished with functional furniture and wall art. One of these bedrooms has a walk-in closet as well as a door leading outside to a private seating area under the trees. The laundry room has a new large-capacity washer and dryer and kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and all accessories. Just past this area and leading to the double car garage is a large exercise room with nice equipment and views of the backyard.

There are 4 doors leading to the backyard which is completely enclosed by a stucco wall and offer several areas to gather around a table or relax on the hammock or just enjoy the open space and nature. The silence can be deafening.

During your stay at Xanadu Villa you are the only guests at the property and have full access to what the home has to offer. If there is ever anything that you need simply contact us at (almost) anytime. We have an excellent private chef who is available for a special dinner or just to provide hours d'oeuvres for a happy hour.

The owners of Xanadu Villa also own an exceptional gallery in downtown Santa Fe with the same name. Many of the items that we sell in our gallery are throughout the home such as all of the custom furniture such as the sofas, chairs and the amazing live edge coffee tables and side tables. Any of these items are for sale or can be custom-made to your specifications. We offer a special discount to guests of Villa Xanadu. Please visit our gallery to see these and other wonderful items we have to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Alan Wreyford

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Santa Fe, NM for 25 years and own Xanadu Santa Fe gallery which is downtown just off the plaza. We carry various types of furniture and tables and have furnished this property with new, custom-made furniture for our guests enjoyment.
We have owned other short-term rental properties in Santa Fe. This is a new property for us and we have done everything to make this an exceptional property. We are the owners of the property, not a management company, so you will always get personal attention to any needs you might have.

Why they chose this property

The hills of Tesuque are one of the most sought-after areas of Santa Fe. The treed foothills give the perfect elevation to provide some of the best views anywhere. The fabulous Four Seasons Resort is just a few minutes away with its acclaimed restaurant and world-class spa. You can see the Santa Fe Opera, the Tesuque Casino and the full range of the Jemez Mountains to the West which create the most incredible sunsets almost every night.
The home sits on a very private 5 acres with hiking in every direction just out the door. the home has a very private feel because the neighbors are far enough away yet we are just 8 minutes to the Santa Fe Plaza with all of its world-class galleries, shopping and renowned restaurants. Buffalo Thunder Casino with its challenging 27-hole golf course is just 10 minutes North and the Black Mesa course is just another 10 minutes North of that. The world-class Ojo Caliente hotsprings and spa is just a bit further North of that course. And just 4 minutes away is the ever-popular Tesuque Village Market and restaurant that has a casual environment and menu. You never know who you might see dining there. The Tesuque Hills have a star-studded list of residents.

The acreage lots, the privacy and stunning views and the close proximity to everything make this area an ideal place for a nice family trip and getaway. The fact that we have everything that you could possibly need in the home could make you want to enjoy your surrondings. You won't be dissappointed.

What makes this property unique

Xanadu Villa is a very unique property for Santa Fe. The square wooden beams, wood windows, hardwood flooring throughout the home are very impressive. The vaulted ceiling in the upper level and the tall windows provide spectacular views to both mountain ranges. Additionally, a master craftsman provided incredible diamond plaster finish to all of the walls. The home itself is completely encircled by a beautiful stuccoed wall creating lovely areas within the walled space for entertaining and relaxing with multiple areas for sitting. And just beyond the wall on the back side of the home is the magical labyrinth that is a delight, especially at night when the tiny solar lights come on and provide an enjoyable light show.
Having stayed in short-term rental properties ourselves, we know what guests expect. We have taken everything into consideration when decorating and furnishing this property so that nothing was overlooked. All of the furniture and tables are new, custom-made from our gallery downtown. All the beds and bedding are new and of the highest quality. The furnishings and wall hangings are thoughtfully placed througout the home, many of which are original art pieces.
We truly believe you will not find a more accommodating property in Santa Fe. Come take a look and see for yourself.
