3 Heather Lane
Meticulously designed by its current owners and custom built in 2014 by Tierra Concepts, this exceptional single-level Santa Fe-style residence is perched high (7200 ft) on a mesa above Tesuque Village, in the gated community of Tesuque Villas. Set on 3.5 secluded acres of beautifully landscaped environs, this solar-intensive all-electric home affords panoramic vistas in every direction – from Santa Fe Baldy and the Sangres to the east, to the entire Jemez range across the Rio Grande Valley to the west, with its fabled sunsets year-around.
The front entrance opens into a spacious living and dining “great room,” with a high viga-and-latilla ceiling and solid hickory flooring, and adjoining kitchen (with pantry). Its sweeping views are framed by large picture windows and a corner kiva fireplace. This majestic space links seamlessly with a wrap-around portal and walled garden, ideal for gatherings large and small, as well as outdoor dining and relaxation.
A central galleried corridor continues the beautiful hickory flooring, fostering an easy, elegant flow throughout the house. It leads past the primary bedroom suite (with luxury bathroom) and two other bedrooms, to a private guest suite. These four bedrooms and their three bathrooms are well-suited to multiple purposes. The guest suite bedroom can be a music or other activity room; and another bedroom, with built-in shelving, makes an excellent office. All have magnificent views. A rooftop deck – easily accessible via outside stairway – and enclosed porch do so as well.
Wonderfully secluded from town, tourists and traffic, and yet just 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, this gem of a home and location is not too close to town for comfort, but is close enough. Only moments from the Four Seasons Resort, and not far from the Tesuque Village Market, it perfectly blends tranquility, craftsmanship, and breathtaking views in one of Santa Fe’s most coveted settings.
