30 Estrada Calabasa, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

30 Estrada Calabasa is a country house on just over ten acres in La Tierra, northwest of Santa Fe, with unobstructed views in both directions: the Sangre de Cristo to the east and the Jemez to the west, which means sunrise, moonrise, and sunset from the same property. The house is 3,048 square feet on a single level, with three bedrooms, four baths, and three fireplaces, built in 1999 on a private well.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller in 2017, and it closed above the asking price.

The house

The architecture is custom Northern New Mexico style, with high vaulted ceilings and several landscaped courtyards and gardens set into the plan rather than added to its edge. The open country kitchen runs into the dining area and the great room, which is where the house is meant to be lived in.

Beyond that, the plan has real range: a den that works as library or media room, a studio or office that can be a second bedroom, and private guest quarters with their own kitchenette and separate entrance. There are portals to the east and to the west, one for each of the views. A two car attached garage completes it.

The house was held by its original owners and maintained accordingly.

The land

Ten acres in La Tierra with the option to add equestrian facilities, and horses permitted. The setting is pastoral and the covenants forbid signs, so the neighborhood never looks like it is for sale. There is a modest annual association fee.

Our guide to Northern New Mexico vernacular homes covers the building tradition, our guide to the best Santa Fe neighborhoods for second homes covers the choice between land and town, and the Santa Fe market archive collects our work across the city. Another Webster Estates Select Sold in La Tierra is 23 Vuelta Muerdago, eleven acres a short distance away.

The schools are Gonzales Elementary and Middle, and Santa Fe High.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 30 Estrada Calabasa. Five weeks, and it closed above the asking price. Ten acres with a two view house and independent guest quarters is a specific object, and pricing it accurately rather than aspirationally is what let the right buyer act without a negotiation that would have cost more than it saved.
