On the edge of the historic eastside, above St. John’s College, within the gated and desirable Ponderosa Ridge community, 1863 Camino de Cruz Blanca is a rare and exceptional property. Carrying a Michael Bauer-designed and a Doug McDowell-built pedigree, this prize provides a substantial 3-bedroom main house, a 2-bedroom casita, a studio, and pool on over 4-acres bordering public lands. The main house sits high above town with views to the west towards Jemez Mountains and Los Alamos, and the backyard and pool look east up at Atalaya Mountain looming above. The 4,960 sq. ft. main house and 1,172 sq. ft. casita are rich in craftsmanship and integrity, built of double adobe with classic puebloan features – large vigas, carved wood doors, flagstone, antique pine and saltillo tile floors – while having the scale to accommodate modern living. In addition, the property has a separate 275 sq. ft. room that could serve as an exercise room or artist studio. The outdoor spaces are a secluded extension of the open space beyond and achieve the balance between maximizing views and privacy. The lot provides direct access to the Atalaya and St. John’s hiking/biking trails. Still owned by the original owner, the property exudes pride of ownership. Recent improvements, completed in 2024 and 2025, include a new TPO roof, newly wrapped exterior stucco, and new heat pump minisplit heating and cooling. Two adjacent, separately deeded, buildable lots are also available for purchase separately, increasing the offering to 13 total acres. 1863 Camino de Cruz Blanca is an incredible property of great substance and character, set in a “goldilocks” location that perfectly strikes close proximity to downtown with direct connectivity to our unbounded natural setting.
