Villa

Usa, New Mexico, Santa Fe

Named after the fragrant herb that is typical of the New Mexico high desert, Sage Hill Compound is a lovely Santa Fe property. Protected by an adobe-walled fence, it sits high on a ridge overlooking a peaceful landscape.

The compound consists of two homes, each with their own guest house, that total 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Kitchens are custom-made, walls are hand-rubbed diamond plaster, floors are Arizona flagstone and hardwood, ceilings are latilla-graced. In short, everything is designed in a classic, yet modern Southwestern style. Breathtaking views of four different mountain ranges can be enjoyed both inside through large rounded windows and ouside on covered terraces and balconies. There is also a home cinema, a gym, and a suite for a maid or family members.

Stone pathways wind throughout the extensive grounds so there is no need to leave the property to go for a walk. Low shrubs and native trees have been planted and there is a relaxing sculpture garden.

Interior: 11,445 sq. ft., land: 7 acres. The property listing by Baker Realty, agent Judith Yvey.
