BIG ART BUILDING

ABOUT THE HOME

Fortaleza Tranquilo, a contemporary residence perched on a bluff, offers awe-inspiring, sun-drenched views of the Galisteo Basin and the Ortiz, Sandia, and Jemez Mountains. Just 20 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, this architecturally distinctive three-bedroom, 3.5- bath property boasts innovative steel beam construction, allowing for sweeping open spaces and multiple sliding glass doors that frame breathtaking landscapes. Natural materials — custom exotic wood cabinetry, white oak and stone floors, and white fir ceilings — blend seamlessly with the high desert surroundings, creating harmonious connection between indoors and out. A true retreat, the primary suite features a dramatic coffered ceiling, a contemporary shepherd’s fireplace, a luxurious bath, and mitered retractable doors opening to a private patio for sunset views. Two guest suites, each with ensuite baths and private patios, ensure comfort and privacy for family and visitors. A dedicated office with a private entrance offers the perfect space for work or creative pursuits. Additional amenities include a spacious laundry room, a walk-in pantry, and a three-car garage. Every detail of Fortaleza Tranquilo celebrates craftsmanship, tranquility, and the serene beauty of New Mexico’s captivating vistas.
