Authentic Luxury Villa with Mountains & Mesa Views (Ideal for long term bookings

Summary:
Our spacious pueblo home is a beautiful and unique 5-acre property in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It features amazing 300-degree views of the mesas and canyons of the Sangre de Christo and Jemez Mountains. Our home offers an irresistible invitation to adventure.

Whether you’re looking for an adventure, a relaxing getaway, or simply to unwind amidst nature, our home, Luna Vista, offers a peaceful and serene experience.

The Space:
Located approx 18 minutes to the Santa Fe Plaza, Luna Vista sits in a charming and picturesque area surrounded by breathtaking mountains and endless desert views.
Our traditionally designed Pueblo home has modern amenities and all the comforts you might need. You are sure to enjoy the charm and warmth Santa Fe has to offer.

The main house showcases outstanding artistic design, A/C and heat in every room, an easy and open flow throughout the adobe. It also features Smart/Apple TV, numerous panoramic windows with lots of natural light, and all the ambiance northern New Mexico provides.  
The layout of the main house: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open kitchen, dining room with seating for 8, living room, sitting room, sunroom, outdoor dining area, and expansive front and back patio areas with a hot tub.

The master bedroom is spacious, bright, and relaxing. It features its own a luxurious king-size bed, attached bathroom, Nespresso machine, and private terrace with picturesque views of the desert and mountains. The guest bedrooms feature one full-size bed, and two twin beds (very convenient for families with kids). Another full bathroom is shared between the two bedrooms.

Our private oasis is set on 5 scenic acres, offering numerous terraced patio areas, flower gardens, and outdoor games and activities. Our firepit with seating for 10 is the perfect place for s’mores, while the gas-firepit on the back patio is a great place to unwind and stargaze at the end of your day.

My group of 10 friends had the most magical experience staying here. However beautiful it looks in the photos, it’s even better in real life. The entire property was spotless, quiet, and incredibly well equipped. From margarita glasses to firewood, we had everything we needed. The host, Rick, was super friendly and took time out of his day to answer any questions we had. Don’t hesitate to book here!

Our group of 8 had an amazing time in Santa Fe with this beautiful property as our home base. The house, grounds, and views were so beautiful and we had plenty of space for all of us.It was a bit further out from downtown than we realized but the setting more than made up for it. We wished we had a longer stay to explore and enjoy it more!

Paradise
Came here for about a week while attending an art workshop tied into a quiet celebration of a milestone birthday. I felt like I walked into someone else's dream getaway. Experienced nothing but pure beauty, peace and silence. Here in the high desert, I was surrounded by the scents of the juniper and pine, the birds, rabbits & deer that kept me company, the vast open sky that brought in the late summer storms that I seemingly tracked for miles (rainbows were a bonus), & the darkness at night that unveiled every star in the sky. The property is spacious, accurately described, & could accommodate a large group and you would still feel like you had the entire land to yourself. The interior is designed impeccably with a southwestern style & gorgeous art that I so wish could be my everyday reality. The adobe style is done to perfection. Everything was very clean & well-appointed. My favorite spots were the front living room and patio with endless views to the western vista, the back earthship-like sunroom where we were visited by a curious mule deer one day, the hot tub area with the apple tree, & the labyrinth behind the art studio where one could sit, meditate & enjoy the best views of the sunset. It's not a far drive from Santa Fe plaza, maybe 10-15 minutes. If you return at night, please drive cautiously on the dark & winding roads...take your time. The property has motion sensor lights that light around the home's exterior. Owner is very responsive. In a nutshell: PARADISE!

This exceeded our expectations. The compound (we called it the ranch) included the main house, which was amazing, Big, beautiful, so well decorated with southwest motif, including beautiful pictures and artifacts. Outstanding, large windows, with magnificent views throughout, and so much natural light. Kitchen was great with everything you would need, and more. This house slept 3 couples comfortably. In addition there was a separate casita,which our grandchildren stayed, that had two bedroom, living room, kitchen porch etc. the kids were thrilled to have their own casita to live in. Also a additional building called the art studio, bigger than the casita. All buildings were adobe looking.the 5 acres site was unblievalble, totally Islolated but only 20 minutes from Sante Fe.. we even built a campfire in the pit provided, and did s’mores and sang songs. We cooked our dinners and could all fit around the large and beautifully dinning room. Only wish we could stay longer, but they were booked up. Also reasonably priced, compared to other outside of town. Thank you Goldberg’s.

Gorgeous location
The location of this property is incredible. Stunning views and beautifully landscaped grounds with many outdoor seating areas. Our family (9 people) had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the fire pit for s’mores, and the stargazing is fabulous. Very conveniently located for access to Santa Fe and Taos. The house and casita are lovely if perhaps a little worn/rustic. Lots of cool Santa Fe art and artifacts. You definitely feel that you are in someone’s home, which can be a plus or minus. The main living area is glorious with jaw-dropping views. Kitchen was well stocked with staples. A few minor issues: Main house interior could use a coat of paint, and the linens in the two smaller bedrooms as well as the towels were kind of bleh. All the dining chairs were falling apart and felt very rickety - should be repaired/replaced. The kitchen appliances were a bit challenging to use as were the heating units and light switches - it would have been very helpful to have the owner meet us during check in to show us how things worked. We couldn’t get hot water for more than 1 minute in the casita, so we had 9 people sharing 2 showers, which was not ideal and kind of defeated the purpose of the casita. (The owner responded to messages about this fairly quickly and offered to send out a plumber, but we were almost to the end of the trip and it was the day after Christmas so we told him not to worry about it.) Hopefully that will be fixed for future guests. Overall we had a fantastic time enjoying nature and good company!

Sante Fe Retreat
This property offers a piece of paradise if you are a nature and art lover. It offers so many lovely spots to be outdoors taking in the mountain views, the colors of sunrise and sunset, the moonrise, and natural surroundings. The house is designed and situated to maximize lighting and views as well such that you feel the outdoors even when you are in. If you are an artist, photographer, writer...you will be inspired here! We spent seven days enjoying Luna Vista and found the home so welcoming and well equipped for all of our needs.The drive from the house into Sante Fe proper takes about 20 minutes, but it is worth it for the serene beauty when you return home. We personally like lodging away from the crowds, while maintaining proximity to the restaurants, cultural offerings and shopping a region has to offer as well. This house matches this scenario perfectly. Enjoy a great sunset view over cocktails out on the deck at the Four Seasons just a mile or two down the road from the house, take a day trip to Ghost Ranch, Bandolier National Monument, or Taos and then roll back home to this lovely retreat. Rick was very accessible host and quick to reply to any inquiries. You should know the house is on a dirt road and the driveway should be driven carefully as it twists and has some grade to it. Highly recommend an AWD car or SUV or at least good tires.
