Heavily forested mountain terrain forms a stunning backdrop to this unique home and casita located in the Stoneridge subdivision, very close to the famed Ten Thousand Waves. Situated on 7+ acres, this gated compound enjoys the privacy and seclusion of its setting as well as the spectacular views afforded by its elevation. The 2 bedroom/2 bath main house, originally constructed in the ‘70’s, was remodeled in 1992 by Doug McDowell resulting in a delightful symbiosis of the soft contours of regional design with cool, crisp contemporary style. Shell-white diamond plaster walls provide a stark contrast to massive rough-hewn vigas that radiate from the hub of the circular ground floor living area. A wood staircase, echoing the curvature of the hallways, countertops, kivas, and arches of the door frames and windows, spirals to the second-floor bedroom/gallery. An expanse of pine wood floors, glass-paned cupboards and doors, and high-ceilings studded with skylights accentuate the flow and play of light throughout the residence. The spacious 2-story casita was added in 1994 and is host to a large downstairs living area and generously proportioned second level bedroom opening to a covered wooden terrace with spectacular western views. Exterior details include outdoor decks, water features, mature landscaping, patio spaces and walking trails. Just minutes to the Ski Area, Dale Ball Trails, Ten Thousand Waves and downtown Santa Fe.
