Welcome to Casa de Paz, a stunning 4,200-square-foot Santa Fe stucco-style retreat featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 10 guests. Nestled within an exclusive gated community in the Tesuque Hills of Santa Fe, New Mexico, this custom-built home is perfectly positioned just a few miles north of the historic Santa Fe Plaza and minutes from the world-renowned Santa Fe Opera.
From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The home is thoughtfully oriented to the east, allowing you to witness spectacular sunrises through expansive windows or from the private deck off the living room. Whether you are enjoying the warmth of the morning sun or grilling on the second sunset-facing barbecue deck under a canopy of stars, the outdoor spaces are designed for total immersion in New Mexico’s natural beauty.
Inside, the residence exudes a sophisticated, artistic personality defined by clay walls featuring art-filled nichos and soaring beamed ceilings. The upper level is an entertainer's dream, where the living and dining areas are elegantly separated by a baby grand piano. For the culinary enthusiast, a gourmet kitchen equipped with state-of-the-art Bosch appliances is easily serviced by a unique dumbwaiter, perfect for whisking groceries up from the garage. After dinner, retreat to the cozy den to relax by the second fireplace.
Following the design of a traditional berm house, the sleeping quarters are located on the lower level to ensure natural temperature control and year-round comfort. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a cozy beehive fireplace and a luxurious spa-like bathroom. Unique touches, such as the Mexican-inspired tile work and the "coyote print" fireplace in the living room, give the home a soulful, custom character that feels both grand and intimate.
Beyond the gates, the best of the Southwest awaits. You are a short drive from the vibrant art galleries of Canyon Road and the world-class fine dining of the Santa Fe Plaza. For the adventurous, hiking trails wind through the nearby hills, while the Tesuque Village Market offers a local favorite spot for a casual brunch. Whether you are attending a summer performance at the Opera or exploring the "City Different," this home serves as the perfect base camp for your high-desert adventures.

Thank you for sharing such kind feedback about your stay. We’re glad you enjoyed the home and its unique touches, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
My family with five kids from ages 16 to 25 stayed here over spring break. We really enjoyed the house. The southwest decorations were beautiful and the size of the house was very accommodating for our family size. It's split between two levels, so take that into consideration if anyone has difficulties with stairs. The location on the north side of Santa Fe is nice in that it is a little removed from the city. If returning Sant Fe, we would certainly consider this property again.

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback about your stay. We are glad the home’s size, layout, and décor worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the quieter north side location. We also appreciate you mentioning the stairs, as this is helpful for future guests. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back if your travels bring you to Santa Fe again.
House was beautiful and plenty big enough for our party! Beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and necessities were stocked.

This place was awesome, we enjoyed how well furnished the place was. We were able to make breakfast, lunch and dinner, had everything you can think of. All of the sky lights and balcony’s were awesome. This place is a must book, close to the city, and hiking. But away enough to be quiet and see a ton of stars at night!

The views are amazing, the house is gorgeous. Overall it was a very good experience. Could be used more dishwashing pods. The shower heads are not optimal in spray quality and strength, and the bathrooms could've used some robes. But I will recommend to others for sure.

This home is spacious, beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. Close to downtown Santa Fe but not far from Bandalier National Monument (cliff dwellings), Puye and Los Alamos. We were a group of 8. Kitchen is spacious and actually well stocked. 2 large balconies, nice seating areas inside. Great views, even from the large kitchen windows.

We had a wonderful stay. Clean well stocked home. Plenty of room. It gets very dark at night so we tried to get back to the house before it got too dark out.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the home to be clean and well-stocked. The rural location can indeed make for very dark nights, but I'm glad you were able to navigate back safely. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
Our beautiful Vrbo reminded us of a fortress, so massive and elegant! Every room was decorated so beautifully. We loved the windows with the gorgeous views of the mountains. We had everything plus more than what we needed, great towels, linens, and comfy beds.

The stay overall was great & we enjoyed outside time in the evening. Only thing is the AC stuggled a bit downstairs but thankfully the windows opened & it cooled down at night. Thank you for having availability for us since the other place we had booked in March canceled on us a week out! This was a last shindig trip we brought our nephew on who is leaving for the Army in July, so thank you for allowing us to make some wonderful memories together

Great views, amazing hike able neighborhood, little kids 6/3/3/2 loved the outdoor areas around the house and hiking the draws in the neighborhood. Plenty of room indoors for meals and play. Nice and quiet neighborhood in the evening. Loved our stay!
The home is superb. It is spacious, tastefully decorated, well appointed, has a great location, is in a beautiful community with privacy, is homey, has a superior piano, and made our family vacation all the more special. We plan to return.
Benjamin,
We're happy you had a fantastic time with us!

House is beautiful and the mountain views are awesome
House was stocked with everything we needed. Garage was huge for oversized vehicles. Only issue for us was the Wi-Fi and at&t service is not good at all in Santa Fe for your information.

Hello Shana,
We appreciate your kind words and giving us some great feedback. We are so glad to know that you were able to enjoy your stay. You can't beat the views and hopefully you were able to take full advantage. We apologize about the internet connection. We know it can be spotty in the mountains and we will see if there is anything else that we can do to address this. Again, we thank you for your feedback and we hope to be able to host you once more in the future.
This is a lovely large home, decorated beautifully, in a gated community with views of the area. The kitchen is fully equipped and has everything a large group needs. There are only two drawbacks to the property: lack of internet (extremely slow if at all), and double beds rather than queen beds in the additional bedrooms. We completely enjoyed our stay in Casa de Paz and would recommend it.

Review of Casa de Paz
Property was nice but, the Checkin process was poor, as they weren't ready for us, and we waited 20-30 minutes to get our keys! Lady who checked us in was quite rude as well!
Also, location description made it appear that the property was across from Bishops Lodge...and it's not! In fact it was several miles from the resort!

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Nov 2023
Thank you for taking the time to review our house and we are glad that you thought the property was nice. We are puzzled about your comments on the check-in process as we allowed you to check in nearly 2 hours before the actual check-in time but had to wait 30 minutes for the house to be ready. Also, on the listing, it shows a map of where the house is and across the map, it shows Bishops Lodge Resort several miles away. It does not mention that the house is near Bishops Lodge anywhere in the description.
