2 Bedroom House in Tesuque Hills, Santa Fe

Welcome to your Santa Fe dream home! Architecturally significant, The Butterfly House is a re-creation of a classic case-modern home with wings, ample glass, and sloped ceilings. Completed in summer of 2012, this one-story home sits on one acre of secluded property with unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The Butterfly House, designed by AIA's 2011 Design Firm of the Year Spears Horn, was featured in the 2012 Design Santa Fe Tour of Homes. It offers the serenity of peace and quiet surrounded by native trees and plants, neighbors the Santa Fe Opera and is within a few minutes drive of the shops, restaurants, museums and galleries surrounding the Santa Fe Plaza.
The house is 1700 square feet of mid-century modern interiors, with a split design, and each of the two bedrooms has a full en suite bathroom. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed, night tables, reading lights, ceiling fan, and views of aspen, pinon, and juniper trees. The media room and master bedroom both have flat-screen TV's. The kitchen shines with black granite countertops, an island with bar stools, and top-of-the-line appliances. Relaxing in the living room means gazing at the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The patio, which features a table and chairs, two chaise lounges, and a gas grill, is accessible from both the living area and the master suite, and looks northeast, directly at the gorgeous Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the peaks of the Colorado Rockies. The patio is covered in the warm-weather months to protect from the strong sun. Other features include air conditioning, high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and an over-sized shower with a bench in the master bath. Expansive windows throughout the house allow you to enjoy the breathtaking view from multiple room, and the multi-colored sky at sunrise and sunset. The home is deliberately oriented and constructed to assure optimal natural heating and cooling, and has state of the art high powered ceiling fans in every room to provide comfort year round.
For your New Mexico ski experience, the Santa Fe Ski Basin is 30 minutes away and the city of Taos is approximately 90 minutes away. The nearby Hyde Park National Forest and Santa Fe National Forest offer dozens hiking trails of varying distances and challenge levels. For two-wheeling enthusiasts, a bike trail greets you down the road from the house and leads you into town.
For art enthusiasts, Canyon Rd, with its streets lined with galleries, is 10 minutes away. The famed Museum Hill is 15 minutes away. Santa Fe's world renowned restaurants are minutes away.
The design concept of this residence provides a vibrant entry and open living concept. The house was designed to reflect an environment of health and repose within the surrounding high desert of north Santa Fe.

Summary: This was our third stay in the Butterfly House which served as a base for day hikes in the greater Santa Fe area. It's a great home to return to after a day in the beautiful outdoors with everything you need in the kitchen and a cozy overall feel with excellent views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Highly recommended!

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay. The home is beautiful, spotless and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The views are outstanding! Check in is a piece of cake and GPS lead us right to the door. We enjoyed our visit with a lizard who sunned himself every afternoon on the patio wall, but were amazed by the four mule deer who came up and looked in the back windows our last night. The location is very convenient to Santa Fe, a short 15 minute drive to the heart of town. It truly was the perfect destination for us.

Summary: If you like spaciousness and clean lines, original artwork, midcentury-modern-style furniture, and high-end appliances — in a house whose design combines privacy with great views of the Sangre de Cristo Range — then the Butterfly House is for you. We can’t fault much here; we enjoyed our five days immensely. The house is close to US 84/285 and to the Santa Fe Opera. The Santa Fe Plaza is five minutes away on the highway. You will hear the highway if you’re out on the patio, but the sound is muted, and minimal later in the evening. If windows are closed, you won’t hear it at all. And the house is sited so that you won’t actually see much of the highway. The house came well-supplied with local bath products and complimentary gourmet coffee. The mattress in the master bedroom was Eurostyle-firm but comfortable. We slept well! The hosts responded quickly to the few questions we had. The house is at an elevation of 6900 feet above sea level, in aromatic pinyon-and-juniper woodland, with plantings of lavender, which was in full bloom during our stay. Summer afternoons in this environment can get warm — low 90s with low humidity. You will need the ductless A/C unit (very quiet!) in the living room. Evenings even on the warm days cool off to the 60s. Ceiling fans have been intelligently placed throughout the house to help circulate the cool air. We were more than comfortable during our entire stay. Highly recommended for the architecture, decor, and setting.

Summary: My two girlfriends and I spent a wonderful long weekend at Butterfly House. It is perfectly sited about 10-15 minutes north of Santa Fe in a quiet private development just south of the flea market and the Opera. It is beautifully designed and furnished in a minimalist style that feels very comfortable and puts the focus on the views. The landscaping complements the house - there is something interesting outside every window. It feels pristine, light, and airy, and having the two bedrooms at opposite ends of the house gives guests privacy and space. The kitchen is nicely furnished for those who like to cook and grocery stores are only about 15 minutes away. This house would be nice at any season. We loved our visit and I definitely plan to return.

Summary: This house is exactly as it looks in the pictures. While it is small, it is perfect for 2-4 people. The layout worked well for living away from home. Loved the decor, the bathrooms and in particular the views. Breathtaking. We would come back in a heartbeat.
