Experience the soul of New Mexico from this custom-crafted, architectural masterpiece perched high above the Rio Grande. Designed by award-winning architect David Dekker, this original owner home, is a 2,974 sq. ft. sanctuary that combines artistic grandeur with master-level engineering. From the moment you enter the private, gated courtyard with its serene pond, you are immersed in a designed experience. Inside, soaring ceilings, massive vigas, adobe accent walls, intricate corbels, and high-fired brick floors showcase pure Southwestern elegance, providing a dramatic gallery-like setting for discerning art collectors. The heart of the home frames a spectacular, uninterrupted 180-degree view of the majestic Sandia Mountains and glittering city lights through a signature curved window wall. The chef's kitchen, with custom Bird's Eye Maple cabinetry by Blue Sky, opens into a sun-soaked morning breakfast nook. For leisure or remote work, the library offers a stunning visual experience complete with a custom rolling ladder and a built-in wet bar. The home's layout perfectly balances privacy and connection. Two spacious guest bedrooms occupy the main level, while the primary suite is a private oasis ''in the sky'' on the second story--featuring sound-proofing sisal walls, a soaking bath, and its own panoramic view balcony. Anchored in sustainable luxury, the home utilizes passive solar design alongside a fully owned, 24-panel active solar system. Modern comfort is insured by seven recently installed high-efficiency Gree mini-splits (Spring 2026), a premium IB 50 mil PVC roof (Dec 2024), and a private well and septic system. Set on a 0.83-acre lot, this iconic home--once featured on the historic Parade of Homes--is ready for its next chapter as a sophisticated, soulful retreat.
