3 Golden Eagle, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

3 Golden Eagle is a custom house and guest house on the fifth green of the Sunrise course at Las Campanas, built in 1996 by Joe Cohen on two acres with long views over the fairway. The main house has four bedrooms in 3,870 square feet and the guest house adds a fifth bedroom in 840 more, for 4,710 square feet in all with five baths, four fireplaces, and a two car attached garage.

Before the sale the owners had renovated: a new roof, new windows, refinished floors, and major work on the landscaping, so the house came to market in what the listing called magnificent condition.

The Webster Estates team handled this transaction, with Richard Theobald, and the sale closed in 2007.

The house

The rooms are large. The living room is eighteen by twenty four feet, the principal bedroom fifteen by twenty two, the dining room fifteen by sixteen, and the kitchen a square fifteen feet, with a separate office. That is the plan of a house built for a couple who entertain and host family, and the guest house gives the family its own door.

A golf course lot is bought for the view as much as the game: the fifth green of the Sunrise course puts open, kept green in front of the house and the mountains beyond it, with no neighbor in the sightline.

The neighborhood

Las Campanas is the golf and equestrian community northwest of Santa Fe, with two Jack Nicklaus courses, Sunrise and Sunset, a tennis and fitness center, a spa, and an equestrian center, about twenty minutes from the Plaza. Golden Eagle sits in the Sunrise section. The elementary school is Gonzales.

Our Las Campanas community guide covers the community and the Las Campanas market archive collects our sales there. We have also sold Greywolf, 73 Thundercloud, and 4 Camino Villenos in The Estancias. For the style, see our guide to contemporary adobe homes.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 3 Golden Eagle, with Richard Theobald as listing broker and Chris Webster co-listing. It was a long listing, close to two years, and the owners used the time well: the renovations were done while the house was on the market, and the price was brought to meet the buyers. It closed for cash within three percent of the final asking price.
