Nestled atop a quiet 3.79-acre ridge in the exclusive Spirit Wind Ranch, 45 Cerro Alto is more than a home—it’s a way of life. With 3,600 square feet of beautifully crafted Santa Fe-style architecture and sweeping views of the Galisteo Basin, this private haven blends sustainability, self-sufficiency, and serene luxury in perfect harmony. From the moment you enter the aspen-lined courtyard, you're greeted by nature’s quiet abundance. Mature, fruit-bearing trees—apple, jujube, and peach—offer seasonal bounty, while young apricot, pear, and plum trees promise years of harvests. For the passionate gardener, an adobe-walled greenhouse sits beside raised beds with drip irrigation, all nurtured organically for nearly a decade. A 3,000-gallon underground rainwater collection system supports irrigation, ensuring both sustainability and simplicity. This is a retreat designed for mindful living. A 10 kW ground-mounted solar array (installed in 2017) powers the home, eliminating electric bills. A Regency Hearth Heater wood stove offers cozy, efficient warmth, reducing reliance on the propane-powered radiant floor system. Enjoy filtered instant hot water throughout, thanks to a whole-house circulation and RO system. Inside, Santa Fe’s timeless character shines through hand-hewn vigas, tile and hardwood floors, and three fireplaces that warm both heart and home. The main residence features three bedrooms, a sun-filled library, and a generous primary suite with its own fireplace. A detached casita offers flexibility for guests, a studio, or a private retreat. Deep portals invite you outdoors—to relax in the shade, dine al fresco, or simply lose yourself in the golden light dancing across the landscape. Every corner of this property invites reflection, creation, and connection to the land. A spacious three-car garage with an attached workshop completes this remarkable offering—ready for your tools, hobbies, or dreams, with paved access, total privacy, and unmatched natural beauty.
