Just 15 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, this hidden gem is nestled on 5 acres in a lush, private valley bordering the Santa Fe National Forest. Surrounded by towering aspens, mature ponderosa pines, pions, fruit trees, and established gardens, the property offers rare seclusion, natural beauty, and immediate access to the outdoors. The 2,150 sq ft main residence features a pitched Northern New Mexico roof, radiant heat, mini splits, and a beautifully renovated kitchen with Wolf appliances. Hand-carved granite walls and flagstone patios add timeless character. A detached 625 sq ft one-bedroom guesthouse–fully licensed as a short-term rental–offers privacy for visitors or turn-key income potential. The Dale Ball Trail system–Santa Fe’s most beloved network of hiking and biking trails–runs directly through the property, offering unmatched access to miles of scenic exploration right from your door. A large reclaimed seasonal pond adds to the magic of this serene landscape, with endless stargazing by night and wildlife by day. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage (1 bay heated), natural gas utilities, large cistern, and 18-station irrigation system powered by a shared well with 1.5 acre feet of water. The property is part of a small, well-run HOA with low dues and a friendly community. Gated access via Double Arrow ensures privacy and peace of mind. 53 Hidden Valley is a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature–with starry skies above, trails beneath your feet, and Santa Fe’s rich culture just minutes away.
