This extraordinary Buzz Bainbridge-built Southwest estate embodies timeless craftsmanship and gracious scale. Authentic double-adobe construction, hand-hewn beams and doors, custom millwork, and Saltillo tile create warmth and permanence throughout. A private entry courtyard is encircled by exposed adobe brick walls, evoking a true Southwest hacienda. Oversized solid-wood tongue-and-groove doors open to spacious interiors filled with natural light from abundant windows and skylights. The home offers three spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath, plus nine wood-burning fireplaces. The primary suite features a semi-circular ceiling crafted with peeled cedar and vigas, a traditional Shepherd’s fireplace, and an oversized primary bathroom, vanity, and double-sided closet. The heart of the home is an inviting kitchen surrounded by warm wood architecture and equipped with upscale appliances, double dishwashers, and natural stone countertops. A roomy breakfast area with banco seating provides a comfortable gathering space, while the formal dining room features a traditional iron chandelier. Natural stone flooring and custom details continue throughout. An oversized laundry room adds practicality. Outside, the grounds unfold as a private Southwest sanctuary. Regal blue spruce, mature juniper and piñon trees, apple trees, and golden currants complement multiple water features, including a striking three-tiered water feature and koi pond. Flagstone pathways connect inviting conversation areas for entertaining and quiet enjoyment. A drip irrigation system simplifies landscape maintenance. A major highlight is the detached one-bedroom guest house, offering independent living quarters with an ample studio, private portal, and garage—ideal for guests, extended stays, or additional private space. The property also features a three-car garage with additional storage, providing ample room for vehicles and equipment. Handcrafted architectural details, serene water features, and mature landscaping reflect exceptional craftsmanship and Southwest elegance.
