A classic and beautifully designed retreat/residence in southern Santa Fe is on the market with an asking price of $17.5 million.
Located at 4018 Old Santa Fe Trail in a part of the city dotted with sprawling estate properties, what is known as Sol y Sombra sits on 20 acres, with a main three-story house designed in Spanish Pueblo Revival style and built in the early 1930s.
That main structure is made up of adobe walls, aged wood beams, and bedrooms with fireplaces.
Other structures at the site include a theater building, with an attached kitchen and bathroom, built in 1937; and a series of guest houses and spacious meeting center.
The larger site is graced with walking trails, a steel and glass greenhouse, and botanical garden.
The estate once briefly served as the residence for renowned artist Georgia O’Keefe, and was later owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.
The property is being listed by the local offices of Keller Williams.
