Property Description

Welcome to your magical hideaway that directly borders the Santa Fe National Forest—just 15 minutes from the iconic Harry's Roadhouse, yet a world away from the bustle of everyday life. Nestled among towering ponderosa pines, this serene and secluded passive solar cabin offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience. A well maintained trail system for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding begins only about 1,000 feet from the front door, putting adventure quite literally at your doorstep. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting interior with stained concrete floors and a sun drenched solarium stretching along one side of the home—ideal for morning coffee, yoga, or simply soaking up the peace of the forest. The heart of the home is a cozy country kitchen, complete with a classic wood burning stove, newer appliances including a gas range, a reverse osmosis system, and a water softener—everything you need for comfortable and self sufficient living. Up the charming spiral staircase you’ll find a private loft style bedroom with wood flooring and its own intimate deck—a perfect perch for stargazing or listening to the whisper of the pines. The home features multiple heat sources for year round comfort: a woodstove, two propane heaters (in the bathroom and bedroom), and two electric panel heaters (in the sunroom and bedroom). Stay connected while off the beaten path thanks to a professional Starlink internet system offering fast and reliable service for work or streaming. The property is served by its own private well with abundant, high quality water and includes a spacious storage shed—perfect for gear, tools, or creative projects. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil getaway, a remote work retreat, or a full time residence immersed in nature, this magical forest home offers unparalleled privacy, peace, and the soul soothing presence of the wild—just minutes from the vibrant culture of Santa Fe.
