Exclusive Rancho de San Juan Hacienda – minutes from Ojo Caliente, NM Designed by John Johnson and built by Karl W. Sjoberg Designs, LLC, to showcase the larger works of acclaimed artist Antonio Arellanes, this Southwest contemporary home is itself a work of art.
The 2 bed/2.5 bath home sits on a simply beautiful 10-acre lot, nestled within a curved limestone formation, with a spectacular view of the Jemez Mountains.
FROM THE OWNER:
“I bought the lot and started to plan the house with John Johnson who was also an architect and had designed all of the structures at Rancho. Together with John and David, a designer, we planned the house as both a gallery and home. The result is the house you see today.”
While this architecturally stunning home was initially designed to function as both a residence and a gallery, it has been a very welcoming and livable private residence for many years.
“After living on the island of Kauai for 8 years, and meeting my dear friend, Antonio Arellanes, a very accomplished New Mexican artist living on Kauai, I decided to leave Kauai and move to Northern New Mexico with the idea of opening an art gallery that could properly display the larger works of Antonio.”
Our abundant New Mexican sunlight fills the house with natural light and warmth.
The grand open living space features 18-foot ceilings, perfect for art display.
The Kitchen
The kitchen offers a chef's array of appliances (Viking, Bosch, and Miele) and custom cabinets, along with granite counters and two sink areas.
Upstairs
Another feature that makes this house special is the open, wooden stairwell. The wooden treads and glass and polished steel banister are very architectural. The stairway was designed to be removable in the event of the need to install an elevator.
Primary Suite
The master bedroom is a haven…
“The beautiful and expansive natural lighting, entering through numerous Pella windows has been one of the best features of this house. They also offer protection from UV light exposure to art and furnishings.”
The Master Bath
The master bath is also a delight- thermostatic-controlled, rain fall shower with double shower heads and a bidet.
Second Bedroom & Bath
The home has been meticulously cared for, with all maintenance adhering to top-notch standards, with the roof recently and completely restored.
Artisan craftsmanship and custom design elements are showcased throughout, with features and amenities too numerous to list.
The structure has been both a Wonderful business site and very livable as a home.
THE SETTING
“Living in this house, with its unique natural setting and views has been a wonderful gift. This house simply put, works!”
The acclaimed NOSA Restaurant & Inn is conveniently located here in the Rancho de San Juan development.
“My fellow neighbors have also made the living here a pleasure.
Considerate and accommodating in the process of setting up an HOA, and a respect for the land and each other.
They are also a blessing in my time here.”
