Privately secluded on 8 extraordinary acres, this exceptional adobe estate offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural integrity, exceptional craftsmanship & breathtaking panoramic views. Sweeping vistas encompass the Sandia & Jemez Mountains, Santa Ana Mesa & iconic Cabezon Peak, creating an extraordinary sense of seclusion just minutes from shopping, restaurants & the ABQ airport. Inside, soaring beamed ceilings, beautiful natural light, travertine & Italian tile floors & multiple kiva fireplaces create warmth, scale & timeless Southwestern elegance. A renovation by renowned architect & builder John Calvin draws inspiration from New Mexico's deep Andalusian heritage, w/ a gallery-like hallway that provides an ideal setting for art & collections. Spacious, beautifully appointed kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigeration & Viking ovens. Private primary suite includes a sitting room & expansive bath opening to a secluded courtyard with hot tub. 2 additional bedrooms & a spacious office provide exceptional flexibility. A separate wine cellar, designed by a wine connoisseur, adds another distinctive element. Outdoors, expansive patios invite entertaining or quiet contemplation amid endless mesa & mountain views. W/ Tunnel Springs Water complemented by 2 HOA-owned backup wells, a new 2026 roof & easy access to BLM open space, the 8-acre setting offers exceptional opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, stargazing--or simply savoring an extraordinary sense of space & solitude. Truly, a world of its own
