Monte De Canoncito - A Beautiful Mountain Top Home, 10 Miles From Santa Fe, NM

Monte de Canoncito - A beautiful southwest style stucco home with New Mexican charm awaits your visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Located at 7,200 feet on top of Jicarilla Ridge, your “Home Away from Home” is surrounded by 28 acres of mountain property.

Strategically located, your party can venture north to the Pecos Wilderness which is an easy 30 minute drive or continue for another 30 minutes and tour historic Las Vegas, New Mexico. Established in 1835, Stephen W. Kearny delivered an address at the Plaza of Las Vegas claiming New Mexico for the United States during the Mexican-American War in 1846. You can also head south to hike in the Tent Rock Area or travel up to Bandelier National Monument and visit the homes and territory of the Ancestral Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest.

The deck offers a barbeque grill with patio dining table and other covered and open leisure seating to gaze upon the beautiful surroundings and spectacular views of the Sandia, Ortiz, Monzano and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. At the end of the day, warm up around a propane fire table and enjoy the clear starlit skies. There are steps from the driveway and garage into the main house. There are two steps to get to the back bedrooms and master bedroom and into the kitchen area. Guests will have access to internet ( Starlink), DVD/BlueRay player and DirectTV.

Beautiful home and scenery
Lovely home, spectacular mountain views and well maintained gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed Karen and Doug’s lovely home and its amenities. Not far from Santa Fe and other popular destinations. The drive up the mountain can be daunting but we were so glad we had perfect weather and didn’t have to deal with heavy rain or snow. Thank you!

This was our second year at this property. The house is beautiful, comfortable and very roomy. The highlight for us is the wrap around deck and the views it provides. The gas fire pit is ideal for early morning coffee and night time star gazing. When the deck heats up in the afternoon the 2 patios on the front side are perfect.

Beautiful house, stunning views
A beautifully appointed house in a great setting. The porch overlooking the valley and mountains was stunning, additionally there were two other patios at the front door and side of the house. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Be prepared for the 1/2 mile windy road up to the property. The hosts were very responsive to questions. We had a wonderful and relaxing time.

We couldn’t have been happier with this amazing Santa Fe property! Our stay was the perfect relaxing getaway… truly magical. Amazing views and such a peaceful environment. The house was exceptionally well-appointed, equipped with every amenity we could think of and then some! The beautiful art throughout the property added a special touch, not to mention all the awesome outdoor sitting areas. Karen was an incredibly attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The quiet surroundings in nature, created an idyllic retreat. We never wanted to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit. 100% recommend this property—it's a gem!

Beautiful Mountain Home
A group of 4 women enjoyed several days at this beautiful mountain home. There is a great deck with an amazing view for enjoying coffee, meals, cocktails. This home and kitchen are incredibly well stocked with every spice, appliance, cooking tool needed. The home is comfortable, clean and well decorated. As others have mentioned, the road to the home is steep and narrow and partially paved. The first time driving up was a bit harrowing, but once we were used to it there was no problem. We rented an SUV. The owner is very responsive to all questions.

Beautiful vacation
My wife and I, our daughter and her husband, and their two children 13 and 19 spent a wonderful nine days at this property. The views on the deck circling the property were incredible. However, our favorite place was sitting with the family in either of the two front yard gardens. in addition to beautiful flowers surrounding us, the owners had wonderful, wind chimes, and a flowing waterfall that was delightful. Yes, the road leading up to the house was driven carefully and slowly, however, the arrival at the house was well worth the climb. It was probably the most relaxing vacation. My wife and I have had in the last 50 years. The kitchen was as well appointed as mine in our home. The host had every conceivable spice and item. Anyone would want to prepare meals. My wife and daughter are both excellent cooks, and they were very happy with the kitchen and it’s accommodations finally, the setting sun going down between the two mountains and the view from the porch is absolutely incredible each night. This is indeed a very special place.

gorgeous home perched on top of hill w/ views of valley and Sandia Mountains
Wow. This place was amazing. Pictures don't do it justice. It's perched at the top of the hill with breathtaking Western and southern views. You can see the Sandia Mountains in the distance and at night when it's cloudy you can see the Albuquerque city lights reflected in the clouds. The home was gorgeous. The eastern side of the house has two gorgeous patios with picnic table, chaise lounges, water fountains, and shade. Perfect to use on warm sunny days when the deck is too hot. The space was perfect. Jacuzzi tub and bathroom with spectacular, gigantic walk in shower for two that was spiral-shaped. Everyone loved the place. the road up the hill is a dirt road and there are some fun hairpin turns. We definitely would love to stay there again.

Beautiful, well-stocked home with great views
This is a beautiful home. It is very well stocked with everything one may need. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor seating areas - a front patio, side patio and the large porch/balcony with fantastic views. The owners were very responsive. We accidentally damaged some of the property and they could not have been more understanding. The reason I gave "location" a 4 rather than 5 is due to the long, narrow, windy road that leads to the house. Otherwise, this stay was just perfect.

We loved the house. A wonderful design/floor plan that had a warm/comfortable feel to it, well equipped kitchen, amazing deck with killer views. Two amazing bathrooms - all in all it was Four Seasons accommodations - we could live there for months. Doug and Karen are super nice folks. One caution - the road to the house is pretty steep and windy so I wouldn't haul a camper or large RV up there. We had a slide in truck camper and it was no problem.

Magnificent vistas and lovely home
Very private, high up on a hill at 7,338 feet offering exceptional views. In winter a 4 x 4 or AWD is an absolute must. A very comfortable house that really feels like a lived-in home with quality furnishings. Everything is in excellent shape and the kitchen satisfies the most demanding chef! There are a number of steps in the house so this might make it inappropriate for a handicapped person. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with and we appreciated the wine and the treats.

A Quiet Relaxing Location
An outstanding residence away from home. A spacious, well kept mountain retreat with an awesome view and everything a person would receive from a 5 star hotel. Karen and Doug could not have been a more friendly host. My two sons, their wives and a grandson enjoyed eight wonderful days using Monte De Canoncito, as a base while I participated in the Sr. Olympics in Albuquerque & Santa Fe. For those who select this location, be prepared for a quiet and relaxing visit. Paul
