1021 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87505 - Santa Fe County

In recent years, much has been made about the treasure of Forrest Fenn, but perhaps the most meaningful treasure the renowned art dealer and author ever possessed was this idyllic oasis off the historic Old Santa Fe Trail in the capital city of New Mexico. Occupying 2.65 remarkably verdant acres, the gated estate is a hidden green gem, lush with trees, aspens, cottonwoods, pines, pinons, and a towering weeping willow that thrive alongside apricot, pear, apple, cherry, and peach trees as well as grape vines, flourishing lawn and wild grasses, and flowering plants and vines, all maintained by an irrigation system fed by a private well. The heart of the property is a warm, welcoming 4,596 square-foot residence custom-designed featuring handsome Beijing slate floors, soaring ceilings recalling an Old World chapel, diamond-finish plaster walls, vintage Spanish Colonial doors, a plethora of oversized windows and French doors, clever built-ins designed for the display of collectibles, a striking spiral staircase crowned by a skylight, and a wraparound portal. A portion of this breezy, relaxing outdoor space overlooks another rarity, a pond and waterfall fed by a recirculating stream. An ecosystem for fish, frogs, turtles, and all manner of wild birds, including ducks. Near the property gates is a 645 square-foot guest casita or studio with soaring ceilings, floods of light, a kitchenette, a bath, and storage space. A paved drive leads through the grounds to the finished three-car garage, which includes additional storage and benefits from a heated threshold. While the property is lush, private, secure, and quiet, extending away from the road across an arroyo, the attractions and amenities of Museum Hill, Canyon Road, and the historic Plaza are mere moments away.
