An uncommon find in Santa Fe, this two-bedroom home designed by Beverly Spears features a unique blend of Southwestern and Asian styles. Full of light and a serene organic warmth, it boasts wide-plank blonde wood floors, eye-catching built-ins, rugged beams and lintels, and hand-painted details. Beneath a dramatic ceiling of varying pitches is an open-plan living room and kitchen that includes ample counter space, streamlined cabinets and appliances, plentiful windows, folding French doors giving way to a breezy portal, and a shepherd's fireplace. The owner's suite has striking adobe and wood elements, French doors, a lofty closet and dressing area, and an artful bath inspired by the spas of Japan and offering a soaking tub and shower set amid minimalist Zen-like rockwork. The home enjoys the peace and seclusion of a seven-acre site in Tesuque, a meditative pergola enveloped by native flora, a lily pond, a stone water feature, and a barn.
