Description
Perched on a hillside just off Palace Avenue, stone steps lead through a latilla gate to a sweeping flagstone and weathered wood patio where time slows. Water slides over rock into a koi pond; leaves dance in the high desert breeze; the city below falls quiet until only birdsong and the trickle of water remain. Two more terraces drift away from this first haven — one shaded by a mature apricot tree, another opening through French doors from the living room like a platform in the tree canopy — private rooms of sky and trees, suspended a heartbeat from downtown Santa Fe. The house itself is true adobe, built in the 1930s, its thick walls moderating the seasonal highs and lows. A kiva fireplace warms the home in the winter, while a cooling breeze runs from end to end in the heat of summer. Inside, decades of travel and an artist’s eye have left their signature: handmade tile from artisan workshops, lanterns of tin and glass that scatter light like small constellations, carved doors of varied woods, a vanity carried back from India crowned with a mirror from Rajasthan. Every surface feels chosen, every corner shaped with intent. Both bedrooms, at opposite ends of house, have ensuite bathrooms. Tucked away through handmade metal gates past the koi pond, a meditation garden awaits, its stones and custom tile accents arranged with a quiet sense of ceremony. The air there is hushed, yet alive — a place to pause, to feel the house breathe into the hillside. Though only minutes from the Plaza, 600 Armijo is its own world: part sanctuary, part living work of art, a small paradise woven from adobe, stone, wood, water, and the long journey of a life well traveled.Show Description
