When discovered by its current owners, Casa La Luna was a 1920’s era crumbling relic of the mixed Territorial-style, tucked away in seclusion among old-growth piñons and junipers, arroyos, and rock formations at the edge of the La Luna Mountain. Just off of Route 66 and the old Santa Fe Trail, the house is also at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest on ten acres with a stunning panoramic view over Santa Fe, the Rio Grande Valley and the Los Alamos mountains beyond.

Santa Fe itself has many notable characteristics. It is the oldest city in the United States and the highest in elevation. Having gotten off to a slow and rocky start, it has blossomed into the third most famous arts and cultural center in the country. Long beloved by artists for its clear light and the intense colors of the desert landscape, on a number of occasions the association they formed impacted decisions on the direction the city would take. The city has honored and emphasized its pueblo history and culture and is now a mecca of fine and performing arts with quaint shops and galleries with stuccoed buildings featuring vigas and flat roofs, creating its unique ambiance.

Casa La Luna is a fine example of a well executed restoration and expansion of one of the city’s favorite historic homes. It was also the Santa Fe Showhouse for 2014. It is said that if someone who knew the house in the 1920s walked up to it today, they would see no change. It’s the greatest compliment the re-designer could ask. Built from granite stone that was quarried from the site, the home blends perfectly with its surroundings. The original quarry is now home to its outdoor swimming pool. Today at 13,400 square feet, there are seven bedrooms, seven baths, multiple fireplaces, indoor infinity pool, office, gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry, giant rooftop terrace chess set, large formal rooms with touches of rusticity, loggia, media room and multiple private terraces and terraces for entertaining large groups. Territorial mix style throughout with mosaic panels and hand-carved mango wood plaques commissioned by the owner. For more information.
