Private, Stylish & Serene with Magnificent Vistas - Casita de Sol y Cielo

Casita de Sol y Cielo (House of Sun and Sky) is a privately owned home, located on ninety-five acres in the private Pueblo Encantado compound, in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Tesuque, New Mexico. Known for its valley of lush vegetation and the Tesuque River, as well as hilltop sites with views and traditional Northern New Mexico pinon and juniper, Tesuque attracts artists, professionals, retirees, second homeowners, and celebrities looking to hide out. The picturesque, incorporated village of Tesuque enjoys a rural feel and is just 10 minutes from downtown's shops and galleries. There is a quaint commercial community consisting of the landmark Tesuque Market; several specialty restaurants, El Nido, Terra @ The Four-Season Rancho Encantado Resort, and a world-renowned art space - Glenn Green Galleries.

This unique art-filled property offers guests an inviting and quiet, fully furnished, well-appointed getaway that will provide you with a refreshing and comfortable experience in a "home away from home". The architecture of Casita de Sol y Cielo is Pueblo Revival Style and includes high beamed ceilings, brick & tile floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and Talavera tile in the bathrooms lending a charming southwest flavor. It has two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space and blackout curtains, two fully equipped bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, and separate dining room. Enjoy romantic sunsets & mountain views while dining al fresco on the oversized patio/terrace. Community amenities include a swimming pool, clubhouse, and immediate access to ample hiking opportunities throughout the compound's private acreage.

Amazing views and clean, cozy accommodations

Everything you need to live at this condo is there! Great beds, clean, and wonderful views of the outdoors. I even met the neighbors who own the next door unit. They were very kind and accommodating as well. I wish it was my full time home! The only thing that would have made it better, was to go when the pool is opens up later this spring!

Beautiful Tesuque

This was our fifteenth year staying at Pueblo Encantado. It's the perfect location for travelers who want to surround themselves with the beautiful New Mexico landscape while still maintaining easy access to all that Santa Fe has to offer, including the Plaza, the Lensic Performing Arts Center, the SF Opera, Canyon Road, the Santa Fe culinary and arts scenes, hiking trails, Tesuque Village, and even the local gym (The Santa Fe Spa). It is our second stay at Casita de Sol y Cielo. This is a lovely property that is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It is evident that Ray and Dennis go the extra mile for their guests, and they are the perfect hosts. We feel very fortunate to have found this property, and have every intention of returning annually, as long as it is available for lease. We unequivocally recommend it to anyone who is fortunate enough to be traveling to Santa Fe

Santa Fe Casita

Our family enjoyed staying at this Casita. It was clean, well maintained, and had enough space for a family with two children. The owners respond quickly and the instructions were easy to follow. Would stay again.

Gorgeous and serene, a beautiful property!

We had the best time staying at Casita de sol y Cielo. The casita is well stocked with everything you need to cook family meals or a BBQ on the lovely deck. The beds are SO comfy and the rest of the furniture is tasteful and cozy. The sweeping desert views make for such a peaceful stay. You're right across the street from the Four Seasons Resort which has a lovely restaurant and divine spa. A short drive into Tesuque and Santa Fe proper. We'll be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Charles "Ray" Chavez & Dennis J. Delaune

Ray and Dennis have resided in Dallas, TX for almost 40 years. They love Dallas but have had a long love affair with New Mexico and specifically, Santa Fe. Ray’s parents were born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, retired in northern New Mexico and he’s traveled here all his life. Dennis discovered Santa Fe in the mid-1980’s and loved it from his first taste of red chili at The Shed. Ray and Dennis enjoy seeing the world and have travelled extensively throughout the years for both work and pleasure. However, it has always been Santa Fe that provided the calm, relaxing getaway that magically relieved all stress.
They knew they would eventually find their own "slice of heaven" in this beautiful part of the country and when they stumbled upon Pueblo Encantado during a Christmas 2017 visit, they immediately felt like this was a great fit for their northern New Mexico dream. Fast forward a few months and their dreams became reality when Zuni - Unit 212 came on the market. As soon as they walked in and saw the light-filled rooms and amazing views, they knew this was it. Casita de Sol y Cielo was a natural name for this jewel box they are fortunate enough to now own and share. “Sol” meaning sun and “Cielo” meaning sky/heavens are the perfect descriptive words for this Casita given the abundant windows providing dramatic lighting and views from every room. Whether you’re enjoying the expansive patios or even standing at the kitchen sink, you are treated to beautiful vistas that conjure the enchantment of this land. Oh, and least we fail to mention, the view from the master bedroom will put anyone in a positive frame of mind. From the early light at the break of dawn to the explosion of color in a Santa Fe sunset, Casita de Sol y Cielo captures this ever-changing beauty.

Why they chose this property

Tesuque Village is such a departure from big city life and the surrounding mountains, valleys, rural feeling, and privacy provide the perfect combination for a restful getaway and the solitude to reconnect. The thirty-six private residences at Pueblo Encantado, nestled in the hills on ninety-five private acres check each box mentioned above. The fact that you can be in the heart of Santa Fe in less than 15 minutes with all that it has to offer (art, food, music, culture, and numerous outdoor opportunities) is what makes this property and home so special.

What makes this property unique

This remote, well-maintained, and managed property on ninety-five private acres provides the opportunity to fully take advantage of ALL that northern New Mexico has to offer. Casita de Sol y Cielo is well built, maintained, and has the amenities available for guests to enjoy a special and memorable getaway. Key for us is the complete solitude, beautiful views in every direction that you look, numerous outdoor activities allowing for proximity to everything that Santa Fe and northern New Mexico have to offer!
