The rooftop deck in the early evening: a canvas umbrella over a table and chairs on a patterned outdoor rug, a gas grill and a stuccoed outdoor kiva fireplace along the parapet, string lights overhead, and the foothills beyond the coyote-pole fence. The front of the compound on a clear day: a tan stucco wall and garage under a mature tree, a carved timber gate through to the courtyard on the left, and a bright sky with scattered cloud above. The deck under fresh snow: every post of the coyote-pole fence capped white, the parapet wall edged in snow, and the valley beyond turned pale to the horizon. The private courtyard at dusk: a teal front door lit warm under its own lamp, a white bistro table and chairs against the stucco wall, and a planter of trailing greenery in the foreground. Sunset from the deck: pink cloud across a wide sky, strings of bulbs overhead, the coyote-pole gate and rail in the foreground, and the tree canopy running out to the horizon.
Santa Fe · New Mexico

Five homes on a quiet hill, ten minutes on foot from the Santa Fe Plaza.

Two separate buildings on a quiet street just north of the Plaza, with open space all around and a private place for every home. We bought the place in 2020 and spent two years taking it back to the studs: roofs, wiring, plumbing, kitchens, baths. The vigas and the kiva fireplaces stayed. One casita we rent by the night, four homes we lease by the year, and the same two people look after all of it.

The property

What this place is.

A five-unit compound on a hilltop street of long-time neighbors just north of downtown Santa Fe. The Plaza is ten minutes on foot, downhill. CHRISTUS St. Vincent is eight minutes away. Canyon Road is a half hour walk or a six minute drive. You spend the day in Santa Fe and come home to a street that is not a tourist zone.

Every unit was taken back to the studs and finished in 2022. Stainless kitchens, granite counters in the long-term homes and restored original wood counters in the casita. Skylights and vaulted ceilings. Coyote-fenced patios. Ductless heating and cooling. In-unit laundry. Garages and dedicated parking.

Four of the units are long-term homes, and the people in them are why the compound stays quiet. The fifth is the casita. Four nights for the Opera, a few months on a hospital assignment, or four years on a lease, you get the same thing: work done properly, and owners who answer their own messages.

The casita's main room with a fire lit in the white plaster kiva fireplace, exposed viga ceiling, sofa, wall-mounted television, and a patterned wool rug on wood floors.
Stay · short stay, 1+ nights

The Casita

About 700 sq ft, one designed room for living and sleeping. A custom queen built by a Santa Fe carpenter folds into a full desk by day, and a queen sofa bed takes a third guest, sleeping three. Kiva fireplace, a large private deck over downtown to the mountains, and a two-car garage of your own. Our best rate is here, with no added booking fees.

Unit C's great room, empty and full of light: refinished wood floors, an arched doorway into the white kitchen with a gas range, and a breakfast bar with open shelving.
Live · long-term lease, 12+ months

Four homes

Four unfurnished homes, from a 414 sq ft one-bedroom to a 1,384 sq ft two-bedroom. All renovated. All with mountain views. Current availability and terms on request.

Evening over the neighborhood: string lights against a pink and blue sky, a coyote-pole rail in the foreground, and the tree canopy running out to the mountains.

  1. 4 out of 5 stars Tamara K

    Great location to downtown. Had all the amenities, thoughtfully labeled everything, good communication, beautiful view. Andrew is a great host!

    Our reply

    Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words about the location, the view, and the details.

    On the mini fridge: it failed during your stay, and we didn't know until you told us. As soon as you did, we pointed you to the full-size fridge, reimbursed you for the food that spoiled, and offered to have a replacement delivered right away. A new unit is on the way. The fridge sits in a custom opening, so we're taking the time to get the right one rather than the fastest one.

    On the drain: it's a twist-style stopper, so a quick twist locks it open and to close. We're adding a note to the house manual so no one has to guess. And we're always a text away for anything like this during a stay.

    Hope Santa Fe brings you back.

    Great location and beautiful scenery. Well stocked with extra touches (such as dog wipes, allergy medicine, yoga mats) that really made it feel cozy. Very clean and great setup.

The thesis

Built once. Built right.

When I bought this place in 2020 every unit needed work, and we did the boring parts rather than the photogenic ones. Electrical, plumbing, roofs, heating and cooling, then kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. Two years of it. Nothing here was made to photograph well and fail later.

You notice it in small ways. The water is hot straight away. The doors shut properly. It is quiet at night. That is the same whether you are here four nights or four years.

The casita's bed folded up into a wall of warm custom wood, the desk surface down and a chair pulled up, under vigas and a skylight.

Ask us anything.

It comes straight to Andrew and Tracy. We answer within 24 hours, and most messages the same day.
