Minutes from town and a world apart: Restore your soul in natural mountain bliss high above Santa Fe. Enjoy your own spacious "earthship" eco-home with well-appointed midcentury modern living space, dining areas, and workspace.

The space . Enter into a spacious great room. A wall of light from the floor-to-ceiling windows nourishes your spirit and cultivates the greenery of the built-in planters. A fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, induction burner, toaster, and fridge await. A dining area with a four-top Italian wood dining table is ready for takeout and home-cooked meals. A dedicated workspace, cozy living area with Roku TV, and a sit-in bar top finish off the space. Browse the eclectic bookshelves and enjoy listening to a CD or two with Bose speakers. Open the windows and skylight to feel the mountain air or turn on the evaporative cooler to freshen things up in the early afternoon.
Alcoves off the great room guide you to two well-appointed bedrooms with queen-size beds and memory foam toppers. Each bedroom opens onto the full bathroom.
*WINTER NOTE* As this is an Earthship, it does not have central heat. There is a propane space heater in the main room, a wall heater in the main bedroom, and an electric space heater in the second bedroom. The main room's temperature may be colder than you are used to at night and in the morning hours.
Shared Spaces:
The unit is a large guest house situated on a property with another residence and some amenities are shared with the main house, but there's plenty of time for privacy and the amenities are not used at the same time that guests are using them.
Behind the guest house is a shared 1000 sq. ft. fenced-in area where you can enjoy ridgetop outdoor dining with expansive views of Santa Fe.
A stone path from the guest house takes you to the shared spa/yoga area, which hosts a custom built-in hot tub, dedicated for your use whenever you'd like. A rock wall lines the spa, with commanding views of both the city of Santa Fe and the mountains of the Santa Fe National Forest. An antique Indian oxcart awaits as your daybed for luxurious relaxation, while yoga mats, aromatherapy, a 3/4-bath slate tile bathroom, and a stereo complete the space. The spa sits between the main house and the guest house but it's yours to use privately whenever you like.
On the outdoor terrace above the spa is another shared sitting area with a bistro table. Don't miss out on the exceptional sunsets over the Jemez Mountains, with the twinkling city lights below. A rooftop infinity spa is also available for open air bathing with incredible views.
Guest access Our home and guest house sit high above Santa Fe on a ridgetop adjoining the Santa Fe National Forest. We are surrounded by juniper, piñon, cacti, and other native flora.
From our doorstep you can enjoy commanding views of the Santa Fe National Forest, the City of Santa Fe, the Jemez Mountains, and the plains and mountain ranges toward Albuquerque.
Our property is accessed by a mountainous unpaved road. While a standard car can certainly make it, a higher clearance vehicle will be a more comfortable ride. **Please contact us for more information about winter weather accessibility. The road may not be passable if there is snow accumulation. Chains, 4wd, and winter snow experience is required.***
Private parking is available in front of the guest house and garage parking can also be made available. We are 7.2 miles from the plaza, 2.2 miles from Harry's Roadhouse, and 3.3 miles from I-25.
Other things to note Our home is situated up high in the mountains and we have regular sightings of mule deer, gopher snakes, ravens, and the occasional black bear, bobcat, and mountain lion. We've done our best to ensure you'll have no unwanted guests, but we do not use any chemicals that could harm humans or wildlife.
Please exercise caution as you drive on our unpaved road to and from the property, particularly in inclement weather. While a sedan will certainly be fine, a higher clearance vehicle is recommended for your comfort. Please note that the road traverses and switchbacks up a steep hillside and does not have guardrails.
We are passionate about supporting local artisans and producers and have chosen only local businesses to provide our signature eco-friendly amenities.
Due to extreme wildfire danger, we don't allow any smoking or fires on the property.
We welcome all travelers. Love is love. All ages are welcome, but our open access hot tubs, wildlife, cacti, and planters mean that the property is not particularly infant/child friendly.
The indoor hot tub does not have a safety cover but is in an enclosed area. The outdoor hot tub has no barrier but has a suitable cover. Both hot tubs are designed to be in keeping with the natural environment and do not have handrails, steps, or underwater lighting.
There is an unfenced pond on the far side of the property. Be cautious in allowing children or pets to explore unattended.
The natural stone pathways are uneven, do not have handrails, and may be slippery in rain or snow. To honor the dark sky, lighting on the property is minimal. Carry a flashlight or your phone and walk carefully at night.

A sanctuary on a hill
Our stay was fantastic - the casita is sun-drenched and so very comfortable. The location is fantastic - perched on a hilltop overlooking Santa Fe and the surrounding forest. If you want a place to relax and unwind, this is it.

Beautiful views
This is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Fe, especially if you are coming for the natural scenery. The owner does warn you in advance- the drive up the mountain is intimidating. We had an all wheel drive vehicle and I suggest (as does he) the same for anyone else. On our last morning it snowed on the mountain. It was beautiful and surprisingly easy to make it down as the snow was quite packable. We saw 6 deer quite close on the way down.
Ethan was very responsive each time I contacted him, meeting all of our needs.
Our driver from the Albuquerque airport said “there is nothing to do in Santa Fe”, a phrase we repeated all of the 5 nights we stayed in the city having a great time. Meow Wolf, Bandelier, galleries, The Railyard, great restaurants and tons of natural beauty await you. Not to mention all the fun and relaxation you can enjoy on the property.
Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing mountain retreat
This is an amazing mountain retreat! The Earthship is so cool and fun, but the hot tub overlooking the city was probably our favorite thing. We watched the sunset over Santa Fe while soaking. The property has everything you need. It's secluded at the top of a mountain but you can get into town in 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place and hope to come back.

A Santa Fe Paradise
The property exceeded our expectations. We were able to relax and rejuvenate in the outdoor and indoor hot tubs, the property had lots of indoor and outdoor open spaces which we used as a yoga and meditation room and for sunset cocktails and star gazing. An exceptional property!

Really nice mountain house
The cabin is nice and clean, and the views are great. But the owner did not mention in the description that the house is located window to window with the main building, and that the bath tubs are also on the territory of the main building. so the house is not too private. some people and their dogs dog slso were there dieting our stay.

Mountaintop Retreat
Absolutely wonderful place to stay. The casita is situated on a beautiful piece of property on a mountain. It was clean, comfortable, and the views are amazing. The owner was responsive to messages and provided my family with a great place to stay for a weekend getaway. We will definitely come back!

Incredible View
Awesome house with an incredible view. Words can't describe the view. It was the perfect place to watch the sunset over Santa Fe. The stay was pretty amazing. The drive up the mountain was fun. The beds were comfy. The kitchenette was stocked. The plants in the garden inside were neat. The home was very clean, and exactly as in the description, and photos. There is even a yoga studio, which we didn't use, but it's a cool spot. It's a really cool place. I've traveled a lot and never stayed in a place quite like this one. We only spent one night here since we were passing through town but I wish we would have spent more. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous Mountain Property in Santa Fe
Beautiful mountain property near Santa Fe with gorgeous views & an artistic, organic vibe. The unit had comfortable beds & was quiet. There was a Jack & Jill bathroom between the two bedrooms. The 2nd bathroom was in a separate building where the hot tub was located. It worked out just fine.
The hosts had great communication & check-in was seamless. We would love to stay here again when we visit Santa Fe. A+++
