At the top of a winding drive in the prestigious gated Circle Drive Compound, this unique estate enjoys dramatic panoramas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from its very private perch. Introducing the home is a classical ivy-clad porte cochre with an Old World fountain. Indoors, the timelessly styled residence is filled with light and boasts elegant spaces with subtle Southwestern touches. The grand living room features a bank of windows and French doors opening to an expansive mountain-view portal and deck; adjoining are a library and a formal dining room. The home also includes a charming kitchen, a two-car garage, a generous laundry area, a luxurious master suite with two baths and a fireplace, a restful guest bedroom, and a well-separated office that could easily serve as a quiet additional bedroom. Tasteful native landscaping and a spacious, inviting guesthouse contribute to the feeling of a true estate. An additional lot is included to afford protected views and seclusion.
