About this property

An estate between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Space to gather. Privacy to escape.


Imagine having more than three acres of New Mexico entirely to yourselves.

No houses lined up beside you. No neighbors overlooking the fence. Just your group, the mountains, the mesas and those enormous New Mexico skies.

Welcome to Casa Cielo, a private 4,000-square-foot estate in the high desert of Placitas, perfectly situated between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Designed for guests who want to experience New Mexico together without sacrificing space, privacy or comfort, Casa Cielo offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms, expansive indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and sweeping views of the Sandia Mountains, surrounding mesas and spectacular New Mexico skies.

Spend the day exploring Santa Fe, playing one of the area's exceptional golf courses, hiking the high desert or discovering Albuquerque. Then come home to the quiet of more than three private acres, pour a glass of wine and watch the mountains change color as the sun goes down.

A HOME MADE FOR GATHERING
Casa Cielo is especially well suited for groups of friends, couples traveling together, golf getaways, milestone trips and multi-generational families.

With three king bedrooms and three queen bedrooms, everyone gets a real bedroom and a comfortable adult bed—no bunk rooms or sofa beds required.

The spacious, open living areas make it easy to spend time together while the size and layout of the home provide plenty of room to spread out when you want a little privacy.
At the heart of the house is a beautifully redesigned kitchen and generous gathering space for morning coffee, leisurely dinners and evenings spent together after a day of exploring.

THE NEW MEXICO EXPERIENCE
One of the best things about Casa Cielo isn't inside the house at all.

Step outside.

The property sits on more than three acres surrounded by the natural beauty of the New Mexico high desert. Mountains, mesas and enormous skies create a landscape that changes throughout the day—from quiet desert mornings to golden afternoon light and unforgettable sunsets.

At night, leave the city lights behind and look up.
This is a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the beauty and stillness that make New Mexico so difficult to describe until you've been here.

BETWEEN SANTA FE & ALBUQUERQUE
Casa Cielo gives you the privacy and beauty of Placitas without leaving you isolated from everything you came to New Mexico to experience.

Spend a day exploring the galleries, restaurants, shops and historic streets of Santa Fe. Discover Albuquerque, Old Town and the area's rich cultural history. Play a round at one of New Mexico's acclaimed golf courses. Hike, explore the surrounding landscape, or simply stay home and enjoy the view.

And during Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta season, Casa Cielo provides a spacious private home base for experiencing one of New Mexico's most extraordinary events.

BEAUTIFULLY REIMAGINED
Casa Cielo has been extensively renovated and thoughtfully furnished to create a clean, contemporary interpretation of Southwestern living.

Nearly every part of the home has been renewed, including the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, windows and living spaces. The result is fresh and modern while still feeling connected to the landscape and character of New Mexico.

You'll find:
• Approximately 4,000 square feet of living space
• More than 3 private acres
• 6 bedrooms — 3 king and 3 queen
• 4 bathrooms
• Fully equipped redesigned kitchen
• Multiple indoor gathering areas
• Outdoor living spaces and courtyard
• Panoramic mountain, mesa and desert views
• Beautifully furnished interiors
• Privacy, peace and room to breathe

COME TOGETHER AT CASA CIELO
Maybe it's the annual golf trip your group talks about all year.
Maybe six longtime friends are finally taking that New Mexico trip.
Maybe you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary or family milestone.
Or maybe you simply want a beautiful place where the people you love can spend a few uninterrupted days together.

Whatever brings you to New Mexico, Casa Cielo was made for gathering—and for the moments you'll remember long after you've gone home.
