About this property

Casa Serenata: Santa Fe Luxury Home - Panoramic Mountain Views & Southwest Charm

Casa Serenata offers a private, artfully designed retreat just minutes from Tesuque Village and Santa Fe’s historic Plaza. Located within the prestigious, gated community of Casas de San Juan, this bespoke 2-bedroom home offers stunning mountain views, hand-woven rugs, and curated local artwork throughout. This bespoke 2-bedroom home combines quiet luxury with authentic southwestern style. Enjoy morning coffee or meditation and yoga on the terrace as the sun rises, and unwind by the 17-foot kiva fireplace in the evenings. Whether you're here to explore, create, or recharge, Casa Serenata is designed for travelers who value beauty, comfort, and inspiration.

INTERIOR LIVING:
Casa Serenata showcases traditional Southwestern craftsmanship paired with purposeful, modern design. Inside, you’ll find brick floors, exposed vigas, and an architectural sense of place that’s both grounded and refined.

The open-concept layout centers around a chef’s kitchen with a generous island and breakfast bar. It flows into the dining area and the primary living room, which is anchored by a dramatic 17-foot kiva fireplace. This space features a built-in workspace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French doors that open directly onto the terrace, welcoming natural beauty and panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

A beautifully crafted hardwood spiral staircase leads to a cozy second living area in the loft, ideal for reading, streaming, or enjoying an additional place to relax above the main floor.

Both king bedrooms are designed with comfort and intention, featuring premium linens, ample closet space, and artisan touches throughout. The primary suite offers direct terrace access and a spa-like ensuite with a walk-in shower. Both bathrooms feature radiant heated brick floors, adding an extra layer of comfort, especially welcome on crisp Santa Fe mornings.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE & WORKSPACE
For guests working remotely, Casa Serenata includes a dedicated home office—a private executive workspace located just off the courtyard. Convenient for extended stays and remote work, this office features natural light, a built-in desk and bookshelves, high-speed Wi-Fi, and peaceful courtyard garden views. It’s an ideal setup for digital nomads, remote professionals, writers, and creatives seeking both focus and separation from the main living space.

This thoughtfully designed work environment is just one example of how Casa Serenata goes beyond the typical vacation rental, offering comfort, functionality, and inspiration for longer stays.

OUTDOOR LIVING:
The outdoor spaces at Casa Serenata are as thoughtfully curated as the interiors—designed to offer moments of stillness, inspiration, and connection with nature.

THE TERRACE
The east-facing terrace offers uninterrupted views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where each sunrise paints the peaks in gold and the evening glow casts a soft, romantic hue across the landscape. In the distance, Ski Santa Fe comes into view, offering inspiration for day trips, hikes, or skiing, depending on the season.

The setting is defined by its stillness and sound: the gentle rustle of mountain air through the aspen leaves creates a calming natural rhythm. It’s a space that invites morning coffee, yoga, meditation, or simply a few quiet moments to take it all in. As night falls, the crisp high-desert air and absence of city lights reveal a panoramic canopy of stars, making the terrace a favorite for evening wine, reflection, or intimate conversation under the open sky.

THE COURTYARD
The guest suite opens into a spacious private courtyard, framed by lush landscaping, a seasonal rose garden, and the gentle sound of mountain air through the aspens. With comfortable seating for four, this outdoor living space is ideal for afternoon reading, casual gatherings, or a quiet escape from the sun.

The courtyard provides couples and long-stay guests with a shaded, serene setting—perfect for private reflection or relaxed conversation. Whether you’re here for rest, reconnection, or a creative reset, Casa Serenata’s outdoor environment offers a level of peace, privacy, and natural beauty rarely found in a long-term vacation rental in Santa Fe.

LOCATION & SURROUNDINGS
Situated behind the famed Santa Fe Opera, Casa Serenata offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity—an ideal setting for extended stays in Santa Fe.

You’ll enjoy easy access to the historic Plaza, Canyon Road’s world-class galleries, award-winning restaurants, and the vibrant Railyard District. For day trips, the home serves as a perfect launch point to explore Northern New Mexico’s iconic destinations—including Taos, Bandelier National Monument, Ghost Ranch, Los Alamos, and the Jemez Mountains, known for their scenic drives, natural hot springs, and diverse hiking opportunities.

For nature lovers and wellness seekers, the area offers high-desert trails, open landscapes, and renowned holistic retreats—all inviting a deeper connection to the land and culture. After a day of discovery, return to the serenity of this secure, scenic enclave, where mountain views, starry skies, and the soothing sound of aspens provide restorative calm.

Magnificent stay on Casa Serenata

First and foremost, we need to acknowledge how amazing Randy was as our host. From our pre-communications, when we were first considering the property, all the way through to checkout, Randy was prompt, and thorough, and treated us like family.The location of the property in Tesuque is perfect for a visit to Santa Fe. Ten minutes to grocery stores, twelve to the Plaza, but with the seclusion of a gated community within peaceful, completely quiet hills. The mountain view from the back courtyard (as well as the living room and primary bedroom) is divine.The home is exquisitely appointed. The furniture, art, and decor are authentically New Mexican, comfortable, and stylish. Luxurious linens and textiles truly make this property feel much more like a home than a rental. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with all the necessities and more. It was actually such a pleasure to have new, complete sets of glasses, utensils, linens, and cookware (a rarity among rentals).In addition to two spacious bedrooms there is a large loft retreat and a very large office/flex room (detached from the main house). The separate laundry room features two new machines. The property lists as two bedrooms but has much more space than that implies. The bathrooms are beautiful—heated floors, luxurious towels, gorgeous and large main bedroom shower, and lovely supplied toiletries.Simply put, this was the best vacation rental we have ever enjoyed in over 30 years of travel around the world.

About the host

Hosted by Randy Mills

Host profile image
I’m a native New Englander who now calls Dallas, Texas home, but Santa Fe has held a special place in my heart since my first visit in 2003. From the moment I arrived, I fell in love—with the restaurants, the art, the people, and the rich history that make this city so unique.

Hosting travelers and welcoming guests into our home is something we truly enjoy. There’s nothing better than sharing our favorite places with others and helping them experience the magic of Santa Fe. We love connecting with people from all walks of life and creating a space where guests can feel at home while making their own unforgettable memories.

Why they chose this property

We chose this prestigious community because it offers the perfect balance of privacy, security, and breathtaking natural beauty, all within minutes of downtown Santa Fe. Nestled in the rolling foothills near the historic Santa Fe Opera, this gated enclave provides a sense of seclusion and tranquility while still being conveniently close to everything this vibrant and historic city offers.

One of the things we love most about this neighborhood is its welcoming community, the warm and helpful gate attendants, and the overall sense of peace and serenity that make it truly special. With 24/7 gated security, we can fully relax and enjoy our surroundings. Whether taking a scenic walk or heading into town for an evening out, we appreciate the unique charm and quiet beauty of this community.

What makes this property unique

What makes our home stand out is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and functionality in an unbeatable setting. The breathtaking views are truly unmatched, offering a stunning backdrop from sunrise to sunset and beyond, with an endless canopy of stars at night.

Inside, our southwestern chic décor brings warmth and character to every space, creating an inviting atmosphere that feels both elegant and cozy. After a day of exploring Santa Fe, you’ll love sinking into our comfortable king-size beds, designed for a restful night’s sleep.

For those who need to work remotely, our spacious home office, located just adjacent to the house, provides the ideal setup for private, undisturbed Zoom meetings and calls—so you can stay connected without distractions.

Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or work in a peaceful setting, our home offers the best of all worlds.
