632 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

632 Camino Lejo is a house and guest house on 2.4 acres in the Museum Hill neighborhood, the pocket of the south Eastside where the museums sit among houses on large lots. It is on a private well with water rights, which in Santa Fe is a phrase worth reading twice, and it has panoramic views in every direction.

The main house is 3,225 square feet over two stories with three bedrooms and four baths, the guest house adds 725, and there is a two car garage, for 3,950 square feet under roof.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller in 2015.

The house and the land

The house is two stories, which is unusual on this side of town, and the second story carries a portal of its own, which is what turns the elevation into the view. Inside there are hardwood floors, vigas, and two fireplaces. Outside there is a beautiful yard and garden, and the acreage around it.

The property is entered by two separate driveways, each with its own gated entry, which means the guest house can be reached without passing the main house. That is the arrangement that lets a guest house be rented, offered to family, or used as a studio without anybody feeling watched.

The neighborhood

Museum Hill is the neighborhood around the four museums on Camino Lejo, off Old Pecos Trail on the south side of the Eastside, where the lots run to acres and the streets are quiet. It is the most spacious address that is still, by any honest measure, in town. Our Old Pecos Trail neighborhood guide covers the corridor and the Old Pecos Trail market archive collects our work along it. Nearby Webster Estates Select Solds include the Carlos Vierra House, a classic John Gaw Meem estate, and 3990 Old Santa Fe. For the tradition, see our guide to John Gaw Meem homes.

The schools are Wood Gormley Elementary, Capshaw Middle, and Santa Fe High.
