Come to where the bluebirds gather and the American West still calls. Set on an expansive 10-acre lot with large views in Arroyo Hondo, this 2022 custom-built property by Green Star Builders, is home to an exquisite 3-bedroom main house and 2-bedroom casita, rich in character and craft. Echoes of Western heritage – a living room with a hand chiseled and stacked stone fireplace and a vaulted beam ceiling – are softened with a touch of Santa Fe whimsy – warm American Clay plaster walls and a kitchen with cabinets that match our vast blue skies transposed next to mosaic tile backsplash. The entry leads to a grand living room with picture windows framing the view of rolling plains and foothills beyond. Any home chef will be called by the large and modern kitchen with the attached prep kitchen. Beyond the kitchen, a dining area flows into an intimate media room and office. The main house is completed with three generous bedroom suites, with bespoke bathroom finishes and large closets. The casita welcomes guests with a large living / game room. The second casita bedroom also serves as an excellent office or gym. This is a property that will never be found lacking. In addition to the main-house 2-car garage, there is a recently-built and heated additional 2-car garage, which will speak to the car collector or provide an excellent workshop or the start of an equestrian barn. The exterior boasts a spacious portal, two fenced dog runs and enclosed archery range. Green features include a photovoltaic solar electric array linked to two Tesla power wall battery backup units and an EV car charger. Walk, bike or ride out the backdoor as the property abuts the incredible Rail Trail, a 15-mile multi use trail that extends from downtown Santa Fe to Lamy. 86 Droege offers something so rarely found: a recently constructed, gated compound that exudes character and thoughtful design with views, acreage, privacy, modern green features, two garages with direct access to trails.
