Where History Meets the River. In the heart of the Tesuque foothills, where the river still runs and cottonwoods shade the valley floor, stands a home unlike any other in Santa Fe. At its center: a circular Kiva with three-foot-thick adobe walls, built as a silo by the Tewa people in the 1750s–a full century before the tax assessor’s official 1867 date. These massive walls have witnessed the entire arc of New Mexico’s history, from Spanish colonial times through statehood and into the present day. The intimate, contemplative space of the Kiva–one of seven fireplaces in this gracious home–contrasts magnificently with the adjacent living room’s soaring twenty-foot ceilings. This is architecture as conversation: between old and new, between earth and sky, between the quiet of thick adobe and the drama of light and volume. The Tesuque River runs alongside the property. Multiple portals and outdoor living spaces–carefully designed for four-season use–frame views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The primary suite occupies its own level with expansive living room, dressing room, and bath, opening onto a private outdoor terrace. A fully renovated guest suite (circa 2007) offers its own entrance for visiting family or creative collaborators. A third guest area completes the flexible floor plan. Since 2024, the property has undergone comprehensive renovation: new boiler system, updated plumbing and electrical, complete perimeter adobe wall replacing the original coyote fence, restored and newly constructed portals, custom ironwork throughout, and fresh exterior paint. Modern infrastructure–updated security system, new internet, central air supplemented by mini-splits–supports contemporary life within these historic walls. Ten minutes from the Plaza. A mile from Bishop’s Lodge. Adjacent to the river. Rooted in three centuries of history and ready for its next chapter. Tesuque foothills, 10 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza. Adjacent to Tesuque River.

About the Neighborhood

Homes & Land for Sale in Tesuque

The picturesque, incorporated village of Tesuque enjoys a rural feel (there are still horse properties here) and is only five minutes north of Santa Fe, just beyond Bishop’s Lodge. Known for its valley of lush vegetation and the Tesuque River, as well as hilltop sites with views and traditional Northern New Mexico pinon and juniper, Tesuque attracts artists, professionals, retirees, second home owners, and celebrities looking to hide out. There is a small commercial community consisting of the landmark Tesuque Market, the restaurant El Nido and Shidoni Foundry.
