Perched Above It All | 53 Private Drive, Medanales, NM
Set atop a quiet mesa with nearly 360° views of Northern New Mexico’s iconic landscape, this soulful 3-bedroom, 2-bath Southwestern retreat rests on just under 9 acres of open sky and timeless beauty.
Inside, the home blends rustic charm with clean comfort—Santa Fe–style smooth plaster walls, exposed wood beams, classic tile floors, and warm light moving through every space. With 2,295 square feet, the layout feels open and thoughtful, and a detached studio offers the perfect setup for remote work, a creative retreat, or private guest quarters. High-speed internet and refrigerated air ensure you’re both off the grid and on the grid.
From the front portal, the views stretch endlessly—from the Rio Chama Valley to the jagged outline of Cerro Pedernal, the mountain Georgia O’Keeffe painted again and again. There’s a reason artists, writers, and seekers have long been drawn to this land—it stirs something deep.
Whether you're sipping coffee at sunrise under your gazebo, sketching the shifting light, or heading out for a day trip to Abiquiu Lake, Ghost Ranch, or Ojo Caliente, life here moves slower, feels fuller, and breathes easier. Santa Fe is just 55 minutes away, Los Alamos about 45, and Taos a scenic 75-minute drive—putting world-class art, culture, and dining within easy reach.
This isn’t just a home—it’s a place to live inspired.
