98 Canada Del Rancho, Santa Fe, NM – SOLD

About the property

98 Canada Del Rancho is a Mesa Vista floorplan in The Village at Rancho Viejo, built in 2001 and running to 2,356 square feet with four bedrooms and three baths on a fifth of an acre. It is single level, with an attached two car garage and a gas fireplace.

The Webster Estates team represented the seller in 2022, and the house went under contract in ten days.

The house

Four bedrooms and three baths on one level is the configuration Rancho Viejo buyers ask for most and the one the subdivision produced least, which is why the Mesa Vista plan holds its value here. The house had been upgraded steadily by its owner, with a documented list of improvements handed over at the sale.

Mechanically it is better equipped than its age suggests: active solar, radiant floor heat, and evaporative cooling, on county water and community sewer. Floors are laminate and tile, and there are vigas and beams inside. The yard is xeriscaped with intention rather than neglect, and it leaves room for anyone who wants to garden harder.

The neighborhood

Rancho Viejo sits southeast of town off Richards Avenue, and it was planned rather than accumulated, which shows in what it offers: more than twelve miles of walking trails, a run of neighborhood parks and green spaces, and quick access to the airport, the Rail Runner, and the shopping and restaurants along Richards and Zafarano. There is a monthly association fee covering common area and road maintenance.

About the transaction

We represented the seller at 98 Canada Del Rancho. The seller was building a new house with an expected completion after closing, so occupancy beyond the closing date was on the table from the start. Saying that plainly in the listing rather than discovering it in negotiation is what kept a ten day contract from becoming a six week argument.
