This stunning villa, once home to renowned artist Ira Yeager, combines the beauty of his artwork with luxury living in an ideal Santa Fe location. Recently updated, the villa is situated in the Hills and Villas of Bishops Lodge, offering sweeping views of the Jemez Mountains while being only minutes from the Plaza. Architecturally designed with wooden beam ceilings, plaster walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows, the airy living room frames the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The master suite is a serene retreat, featuring a king-sized bed, a cozy kiva fireplace, and glass doors that open to a private patio. The spacious en-suite bathroom includes a double sink vanity, a whirlpool tub, and a standalone shower, offering a spa-like experience. The second bedroom, which is equally well-appointed with two queen beds, also has its own private patio and a bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are furnished with luxurious Frette linens, ensuring a restful and indulgent stay.
The villa’s open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and flows into the dining area, perfect for preparing meals to enjoy in the comfortable living room or outside on the furnished patio. The outdoor space is an extension of the villa's peaceful atmosphere, with lounge furniture and expansive views of the Jemez Mountains to the West, providing a perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset dinners. This sense of tranquility is further enhanced by the surrounding natural beauty, creating the perfect private retreat.
While the villa offers a peaceful atmosphere, it is just a short 10-minute drive to the vibrant Plaza of Santa Fe. The nearby Bishops Lodge, now part of the Auberge Collection, offers fine dining, while additional restaurants are located in both Tesuque and Santa Fe. For outdoor enthusiasts, the property is adjacent to 200 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest, providing easy access to hiking trails and spectacular views right outside your door.
The villa is fully equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, forced air heating, a gas grill, high-speed internet, and cable television. A full-sized washer and dryer add to the convenience, and the property is just steps from the community pool, open from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
With approximately 1,800 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this villa offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in Santa Fe.
