737 Camino Mirada, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

737 Camino Mirada is a one story residence in Los Miradores, the gated community on the Upper Eastside built by Peck near St. John’s College. It has two bedrooms and three baths in 2,800 square feet, with a two car attached garage, and it was designed around a grand living room with a high ceiling, a formal dining room, and a separate office or studio.

The finishes are what set it apart: American Clay plaster on the walls, custom tile, skylights, three fireplaces, and three fountains, one of them in the entry courtyard. The gardens are walled and green. Storage is generous, which is not a given in a house of this style.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller, and the sale closed in 2016.

The house

Los Miradores was built as a place to live well without maintaining a compound. The houses are attached at the property line but planned so that each one reads as a private walled residence, and 737 makes the most of that. The living room is the center of the plan, tall enough to feel like a room in a much larger house, with the dining room formal and separate and the office tucked away from both.

American Clay is a plaster made from natural clays and aggregates, breathable and matte, and it gives walls a depth that paint cannot. Here it runs through the house. The three fountains do the same work outside that the fireplaces do inside: each courtyard and garden has a sound and a focus, and the house feels larger than its footprint because every room opens to one.

The neighborhood

Los Miradores sits off Camino Cabra on the Upper Eastside, a few minutes from Museum Hill, St. John’s College, and the Sun and Moon Mountain trails. Residents have a security gate, tennis courts, a pool, and a gym, with professional management handling the grounds, which is the arrangement that lets a house here be locked and left for months. The schools are Atalaya Elementary, DeVargas Middle, and Santa Fe High.

We represented the seller at 737 Camino Mirada. The listing ran a little under eleven months, which is the ordinary pace for the top of the Los Miradores market: the community has a loyal buyer base, but the buyers in it are specific about which house they want and wait for it. The sale closed within seven percent of the asking price.
