About this property

Luxury Home with Detached Casita & Stunning Panoramic Views of the Mountains.

Casa Tierra is an architectural gem set on 5-plus acres in the rolling foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, with breathtaking 300-degree views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountain ranges. Easy access to downtown Santa Fe shops, restaurants and galleries. Nestled in the beautiful hills outside of Tesuque, Casa Tierra is the perfect place for family gatherings and extended stays in the Santa Fe area. Pet friendly and perfect for mid-term and long-term stays. (Happy to work with Insurance for temporary housing needs.)

This spacious 3,212 sf home with 133 sf casita will amaze you from the moment you walk through the double doors and into the lofted plaster and stone entryway. Designed in a unique V-shape to take advantage of the panoramic views, and laid out with mathematical precision––the home boasts soaring wood-trussed ceilings, amazing light via numerous strategically-placed skylights, a massive fireplace with custom copper enclosure, and an open multi-level floor plan.

Casa Tierra's open living areas invite you to slow down and savor every beautiful moment. While-away the afternoon on the leather chaise with a book and million-dollar views, hunker down for a nap in the comfortable study with wood-burning kiva fireplace, or cozy-up on the huge sectional for movie night. This is what vacations are all about.

The large chef’s kitchen features KitchenAid, Bosch and Wolf appliances, copper sink, reverse osmosis filtered drinking water, a full assortment of kitchen cookware and utensils, leathered granite countertops, and a bar with seating for four. The adjacent dining area includes a 9-foot dining table with seating for 8, and is framed by a row of windows displaying 100-mile daytime desert views, and the twinkling city lights of Pojoaque at night––just 8 miles to the north.

The master bedroom is a natural oasis, with lofted wood ceilings, a linen-covered king bed, artful decorations, a luxurious ensuite bathroom with walk-in marble shower, and eye-popping views of Northern New Mexico through two massive wood-framed sliding glass doors and transom windows.

At the other end of the main house and down a gorgeous glass-encased hallway is a second bedroom with two queen beds, lofted wood ceilings, a sitting porch, and a recently remodeled ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and walk-in shower.

The study serves as an optional 3rd bedroom and includes a fold-out couch with full-size bed, built-in desk, and kiva––and opens to a spacious wisteria-covered patio.

The adjacent casita is a peaceful enclave––with wood-framed sliding glass doors on three sides, incredible views of the mountain scenery, a queen bed, and a compact but charming ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.


Outdoor areas are the star of the show at Casa Tierra, with patios, sidewalks and planters lining the sides of the modern V-shaped home. A large flagstone patio at the tip of the “V” is surrounded by mature aspen trees and shrubbery, with modern patio furniture and a Weber Professional charcoal grill. The west side of the house includes an elevated covered patio, with dining table and seating for 6, and connects to the patio just outside the master suite.

The home features radiant floor and baseboard heat, and mini-split A/C units throughout for cooling during the late summer months.

Note: Per County Short Term Rental Ordinance, we are currently limited to 8 adults occupancy, but children 5 and under are not counted against the total. Per bed count, the house sleeps 10.

Other features of this magnificent home include:

- Hi-speed internet with the latest Eero wi-fi boosters

- Radiant floor, baseboard heat and mini-split A/C's throughout the home

- 65-inch Smart TV with Sonos sound system

- Sony Bluetooth stereo

Great week in Santa Fe

Wonderful stay at this property. There were 6 of us in total; a few of us didn't have a private room to stay in, but it didn't turn out to be an issue, since there's so much space. The amenities and views are amazing. Great retreat spot, for sure.

Santa Fe Peace

This home not only met but exceeded our expectations.We wanted a peaceful, secluded home with great views, and large, open space for gathering family; we got it! That said, getting into town for groceries was quick and easy. The large open kitchen allowed us to cook together and still be part of the mix. The beds are comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. The property owners are communicative and available. We highly recommend this home and know we will be back!

Annual ladies weekend

My group of ladies found this home to be the perfect location for our annual ladies weekend. The property was even more beautiful in person. The location was perfect putting us close to all the Santa Fe sites and also offered a quiet respite in the evening. It was clean and well appointed. The property owner was readily available and friendly.We will definitely rebook if we ever return to the area as a group.

Architectural gem of a house in the mountains

Staying in the mountains just a few minutes away from Sante Fe was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. House was well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The kids enjoyed running around outside to explore while the adults sat on the patio with a fantastic view.

Fantastic home

Everything was as advertised. Beautiful home. Beautiful location and WOW, what a view! Brought my family and grandkids for a ski trip. Ski Santa Fe was a short drive as were several restaurants we wanted to try. Definitely would recommend this house to anyone wanting to enjoy the Santa Fe area.

Great Place

We truly enjoyed the property. It was great. We had everything we needed to cook and to just enjoy a nice week. We would definitely stay here again. The only item that was difficult is that it was very hot that week and AC is only in two bedrooms. It was great in the house in the mornings, but by afternoon it was a little hot in the afternoon, even with all the windows open. However, the back porch more than made up for it. The views and atmosphere on the back porch was great with the afternoon breeze coming in. We had very little communication with the owners, but it was not needed with the convenience of keyless entry and everything was exceptionally clean and ready for our use. GREAT PLACE

Wonderful holiday with family

There were 9 of us in 4 generations of family and we all had a fabulous time at this beautiful property. The host could not have been more responsive, both before the trip and while we were enjoying our stay. The views were splendid and the home is magnificent. I would like to point out that there are steps inside and out that would make the house inaccessible to folks on walkers or in wheelchairs. We also had to be vigilant with our 2 year old around the steps inside. Other than that, the house was perfect for our family getaway.

Perfect holiday getaway

We had the BEST experience at this property. The house is beautiful and comfortable from the scenic views to the wonderful bedding in every room. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with top of the line appliances. The owner is extremely tentative and easy to communicate with.

Heavenly views from all windows, huge living / dinning / kitchen area, perfect for family get togethers! Everything felt new, along with magical views of the mountains.

About the host

Hosted by Buck McKinney

Host profile image
We are a family of five from Austin, Texas that loves travel and spending quality time together. Buck is an entertainment lawyer by day and musician by night. Sarah is in high tech, and our three girls are all school age, and heavily into sports. When we aren't working, traveling, or playing and seeing music, we are usually on the soccer field!

Why they chose this property

Santa Fe has been a special place for our family for years. Buck's folks lived on Palace Avenue in the 80's - just a block from Canyon Road and the art galleries, and Buck clerked with a Santa Fe firm during law school. The City and area have so much to offer––from the culture, museums and food to the amazing outdoors, for skiing, hiking, rafting and enjoying the hi desert weather. It has been our dream to own a home in Santa Fe, and we love being able to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The views will take your breath away, and the architecture is indescribably beautiful. We knew the minute we walked in that we would spend many of our happiest vacations here, and feel so fortunate to be able to share that with others!
