Set on 1.5 tree-covered acres in a peaceful setting, this custom-built and meticulously maintained home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, expansive mountain views, and convenient access to Santa Fe. The property feels comfortably removed from the pace of town, while remaining just minutes from Santa Fe’s dining, shopping, culture, and amenities. The main residence features high ceilings, exposed beams, wood and tile floors, and a spacious kitchen with granite countertops. Antique metal ceiling tiles add character to the formal dining area, which opens naturally to the kitchen and surrounding living spaces. A large covered portal extends the home outdoors, while the backyard courtyard with a kiva fireplace provides an inviting setting for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying Santa Fe’s skies and mountain views. Adding exceptional flexibility is the downstairs attached casita with its own private entrance, complete with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and three-quarter bath. This self-contained space creates an ideal setup for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests, or potential passive rental income, while remaining conveniently connected to the main residence. A separate heated and cooled studio further enhances the property, providing an ideal space for an artist, home office, fitness room, or creative retreat. An attached two-car garage, mature trees, and access to the nearby arroyo corridor round out the offering. With no HOA fees, generous outdoor space, impressive mountain views, and an uncommon sense of privacy so close to Santa Fe, 18 Blue Canyon Vista captures the freedom and beauty of the Northern New Mexico lifestyle
