Hacienda de Placitas, is a landmark estate conveniently located between Santa Fe & Albuquerque in the historic community of Placitas. Carved out of the New Mexico landscape this property is set against the backdrop of the majestic Sandia Mountain Range. Lovingly restored into a charming family home with European influences, including a grand salon. The sala grande's ceiling rolls upward in 12 ft high, vaulted arches between wood vigas, creating a cathedral-like effect and showcases a floor-to-ceiling, 1840's French, neo-Gothic, cared oak fireplace. Glass French doors open to the expansive views of the vista ranges, from both the living and dining rooms. The large owners suite, features multiple rooms flowing together, including an office, closets and charming sitting room w/ antique fireplace and a luxurious master bath. Included with the compound are five casitas. In traditional Hacienda style, two of the casitas are attached; another casita is the former well house, with bath and kitchen. The original 'shearing barn' has been converted to a casita with a kitchen, bath and loft. The fifth casita is an authentic log cabin, built in the 1800's in the Pecos Wilderness, taken to the Hacienda, log-by-log, reassembled and restored at the Hacienda. The log cabin is complete with a kitchen and bath, and outdoor fire pit, overlooking the vistas. Where the Old West meets the New........the possibilities are endless.
