A Canyon Road Sanctuary Awaits Its Perfect Owner: Wake Up Amongst the Trees 

Canyon Road has a long history — its oldest surviving houses date back to the 1750s, and long before that, the road itself was a trail frequented by Indigenous people. While lower Canyon Road grew into one of the world’s largest concentrations of art galleries, upper Canyon Road has preserved its residential, semi-rural character while remaining just blocks from downtown. Walking to the top of lower Canyon Road, where the popular Santa Fe Teahouse is just a quick stroll to the bistro and the surrounding galleries and shops.

1300 Canyon Road, Lot G is a rare offering of acreage, history, and contemporary elegance in Santa Fe. The house has been through two thoughtful renovations, the most recently completed by the current owners during the pandemic, when both bathrooms were fully updated with luxurious fixtures — a walk-in shower, stunning tile work, a double vanity, and a soaking tub.

The current owners also recently added a modern shed to the property’s 1.5-acre lot, ready to be finished into additional living or studio space, or kept as-is as a rustic-modern garden shed.

One of the home’s most appealing features is its four large bedrooms, all on the lower level. The primary suite is fully separated from the other three by a long, naturally lit hallway, and opens onto two private outdoor spaces — a brick deck and a portal-covered porch that’s the current owner’s favorite spot for morning coffee.

Speaking of coffee — since the kitchen is upstairs, the owners built a coffee and snack bar on the lower level, so your morning routine never has to start with a trip up the stairs.

Everything about 1300 Canyon Road, Lot G spells ease and effortless cool.

The layout draws a natural line between togetherness and privacy — a distinction that matters whether you’re raising a young family or settling into empty-nest life and hosting frequent guests. Upstairs, a cozy living room with a fireplace and an additional seating area off the kitchen make entertaining effortless, framed by light-filled views of the surrounding trees and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
