The Santa Fe Trail was a well-traveled stage coach route connecting Missouri and New Mexico during the 19th century. Freight, mail and people made their way across the wilds of five states using the corridor.
This compound in Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside sits off that route, today known as the Historic Old Santa Fe Trail. The New Mexico property consists of two separately deeded condominiums configured as a family compound.
Rooms open to a garden courtyard and veranda space.

Gardens with a fountain, wisteria and mature trees connect the dwellings – a primary residence, a guesthouse and an office and studio.
In keeping with the area’s historic past, the compound pairs Territorial Revival architectural elements with contemporary design. The hybrid Territorial style, drawn from indigenous peoples, Colonial Spanish settlers and pioneers, is found primarily in New Mexico. Coffered ceilings and natural clay plastered walls are among the details found throughout the residence.
A wall of windows brings light into an informal dining area and the kitchen.

The open-concept living and dining room in the four-bedroom main house centers on a fireplace with a natural stone hearth. Thick ceiling beams and low wood wainscoting add a warm ambiance. A wall of doors opens to the shared courtyard garden. Transom windows bring in additional natural light.
The kitchen features black granite counters, marble accents and a butcher block-topped center island with a sink, bar seating and prep space. It opens to an informal dining area that takes in mountain views through a wall of windows.
