The main entry of this very private casita takes you through a large, serene patio area, which also has double French doors from the private living room of the master suite and from the large guest suite- perfect for morning coffee, evening beverages and generally relaxing in New Mexico's sweet air.  Inside, the warmth of the casita's smartly designed and generous 1441 square feet immediately draws you in. Natural light just flows into the open ­plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Rich, hand­carved ceiling beams, posts, and detailed wood door and window trim in every room are complemented by gleaming soft-toned tile floors and light diamond plaster walls - all say: The best of Santa Fe style!

Black Mesa Casita sleeps four people in the two large bedroom suites, both with king beds and clean, custom-tiled ensuite bathrooms. With the master and guest suites located at opposite ends of the casita, guests enjoy real privacy. The master bedroom with king bed and private living room is simply luscious. Master bathroom: spacious walk­-in shower, tiled by the hands of a supremely skilled artisan, a generous walk-­in closet, his­-and-hers­ sink areas with granite tile-topped vanities, cabinetry, a private WC area, and a full­-size washer and dryer. For perfection, ample natural light from the skylight. The master has its own private sitting/entertainment room off the master with french doors leading out to the main front patio.  At the opposite end of the casita, the guest suite provides a dramatic entry through a double­-thick silence-proof wall with a gorgeous custom­-crafted, aged door. This lovely private retreat has lots of available light, opening with its own set of double French doors onto the main patio.  It features a stylish bathroom with more custom tile work and a walk­-in shower with a European glass shower door. This handsome room also features diamond plaster walls, deeply ­set windows, hand-­carved beams, TV, and a separately­ controlled heating and cooling system for your comfort. The central common spaces of the casita flow into one another, with carved wood delineating the areas, but without unnecessary dividing walls. The kitchen is fresh and bright, with cream-colored cabinets and gorgeous granite accentuating the stainless steel appliances.  The dining area table seats four with ease. An additional private fenced and walled patio is accessible from the dining area, giving you another option for dining alfresco throughout much of the year. And also perfect for pets. The living room is large, light, and comfortably furnished, with a wood-burning fireplace and hand-­carved rafters in the ceiling. The fireplace has a weathered, ancient wood mantel, the focus of any chilly evening, and giving heart to this home.

The Black Mesa Casita has undergone a complete remodeling transformation with hand-picked furnishings and every last detail has come into full realization.
