Spectacular Mountain Views, Supreme Tranquility & Privacy in Tesuque!

What makes this particular home so special, unique & sought after to stay at?
'Cochiti'- at 23 Mesa Encantado, is the highest, most private casita within the beautiful Pueblo Encantado development in the Tesuque area and is also one of only 3 free standing homes that are not connected to other casitas. This fabulous retreat offers the ultimate in seclusion, privacy and tranquility along with magnificent views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and has spectacular New Mexican stargazing. Located right across the street from The Four Seasons~ Rancho Encantado, this casita is nestled into the foothills and has a stunning large main patio which expands the entire length of the house. It’s fabulous! Both bedrooms are very spacious. The master has a south-facing window wall, kiva fireplace (with romantic candles to use instead of firewood due to the new carpeting) and a screen door to the main patio which affords gorgeous mountain views. The guest bedroom has french doors (also with screen doors) that open onto a gorgeous private patio with it's own seating area and outdoor kiva fireplace (firewood included) Both bedrooms have extremely comfy carpeting and beautiful, recently renovated bathrooms complete with travertine shower walls and stone countertops. The living room has a cozy corner kiva fireplace, wood beams and has floor to ceiling windows with exquisite mountain views from all. There is a beautiful 3 cushion leather sofa, 2 comfy leather chairs and a bench seat (banco) by the fireplace. The kitchen is fully appointed, with manufactured stone counter tops, floor tile and new stainless steel appliances (2021). The kitchen is fully stocked including cooking oils, sugar, spices …everything for your cooking needs. There is also a kitchen bar with 2 bar stools along with a cozy dining room, although the outside dining table is 'the' place to savor any homemade or take out meals! All the unusual furnishings, original southwest art and unique, decorative accessories have all been hand-selected by the owner’s mother and by the owner herself, who's a decorator who had a 33 year business in the Vail Valley of Colorado. Celebrities such as Robert Redford, Robert Michener, Liz Taylor and Bruce Springstein have stayed at Cochiti numerous times.

The 5 star Four Seasons 'Encantado Spa & Restaurant' is located just across the street (only a 10 minute walk) and offers fine dining, a bar and an array of luxurious spa treatments. Hiking trails are literally right outside your door at Cochiti (with gorgeous 360 degree vistas and magnificent sunsets just up the hill behind the house. And you can venture right into the heart of the nearby Santa Fe National Forest. Other activities such as horseback riding, skiing, golf, tennis, rafting, biking, etc. are located nearby. There is also an absolutely beautiful outdoor heated pool on the premises (just a short 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive away from the casita) which is open from the end of May to mid October.

Do keep in mind that although Cochiti is an ultra private retreat, it is conveniently located only 10-15 minutes from Downtown Santa Fe, with it's world class adobe architecture, some of the world's finest shops and restaurants, galleries and museums. And, it is only minutes away from Tesuque Village (with 2 great restaurants and several galleries) and the world famous Santa Fe Opera (when open) the new Tesuque Casino. Click the 'View Calendar' link now for availability information~ we fill up very fast! And feel free to email me (Jan) at vailskr@aol.com for more specific info. I’d be delighted to tell you about our favorite picks for restaurants, recreation, shopping and gallery strolling.
We look forward to having you as our guests and you will see why so many say this is their favorite 5 star "home away from home." We know you'll be as enchanted with our casita and with Santa Fe as we are. It truly is the “Land of Enchantment”!!

Beautiful Santa Fe country stay
This house was beautiful with an incredible art collection inside and out. It felt like a home more than a rental, with a great sense of the people who have lived there. It has a lovely sense of isolation with views over the hillsides, yet it was only 15-20 minutes to Santa Fe Plaza. And the stars - oh my! More stars at night than I've seen in years. The owner was very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend this rental.

We are so happy we found Jan and her casita home. We had everything we needed and more to make for a perfect relaxing getaway from our triple digit Texas summer heat. This is an exceptional property both inside and out and we highly recommend staying here. The furnishings and decorations are so lovely and special, and in keeping with the Santa Fe culture and surroundings. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Jan is the perfect host and we so much appreciated her personal involvement and follow-up to ensure our stay was the best it could be. We definitely would stay here again!

Superb property close to Santa Fe Opera
This 2 bedroom/2 bath home has stunning views from the large terrace. the furnishings are comfortable and stylish, the beds great. With a fully appointed kitchen, it's a great place to entertain. The host is gracious and responsive and her "guide book" to Santa Fe spot on. Post-Opera stargazing on the terrace was one of the highlights of our time in this sensational retreat. And it's close to Santa Fe and the very near-by Tesuque Village Market, a great spot for excellent NM cuisine.

Fabulous property -- it's a 5 Plus
This casita is a gem: Spectacular location, beautifully appointed home, and wonderful personal touches with art and Southwest memorabilia. The home is stocked with every possible item one would need (better than my own home), and the host is incredibly responsive, helpful, and welcoming. I'm already planning my return visit.

This magnificent two bedroom cottage was better than we even imagined! The pictures cannot tell you how welcomed you will feel upon entering. It is simply BEAUTIFUL! Completely private and quiet. The kitchen is well stocked, beds comfortable, extremely clean and the host, Jan is the nicest person and very easy to communicate with. If you are visiting the area, we cannot recommend this little slice of paradise enough. The location is great for going into town and don't miss the Tesuque Village Market. Great food, bakery and fun store.

Serenity abounds!
The photos do not do this property justice - stunning and yet super cozy. The location for us was awesome as we were attending a wedding at the Four Seasons. All rooms were spacious and well-appointed. We had everything we needed and then some. The outdoor areas in particular were amazing and relaxing. If you enjoy peaceful surroundings and star gazing I cannot imagine better.....

First time in NM
Traveled to the property after weekend in Albuquerque for balloon fest. Great transition to a more “relaxing” environment- property was immaculate, very cool decorated, great views and not a bad drive into downtown Santa Fe (about 15 minutes). Property owner was super responsive. All in all a great 3 days!

Perfect Santa Fe Escape!
Jan's property is the perfect getaway spot in Santa Fe. The house is clean and spacious and exceptionally comfortable with views (from inside and outside) that are unmatched. It's only 15 minutes from town and all the restaurants and things to do Santa Fe has to offer, and only 1 minute from the Four Seasons Resort (great restaurant and bar, GREAT Spa, etc.). We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Santa Fe Getaway
Traveling with our lifelong friends we have made so many wonderful memories. Our experience at this lovely home is among the best! We were so fortunate to stay in this beautiful location perched high in the hills. The views were spectacular and the sunsets gorgeous. Just a short distance from the Santa Fe square and wonderful restaurants. We could not have asked for a more beautiful surrounding or perfect host. Jan was gracious, personable and her book of recommendations was so very helpful. We all look forward to returning again soon. Sandy H.

Peaceful High Desert Getaway
Our group of 4, 2 couples, were comfortable in this well-appointed high desert getaway. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and the living area is spacious. There is easy access to the interstate, from which downtown Santa Fe is about 15 minutes and Bandelier and Valles Caldera parks are about 1 hour, Taos pueblo is about 1h 45m via the gorgeous high road. This is a space that is obviously well cared for and a true family home. We would stay again without hesitation.

This casita provided the perfect setting for our short visit to Santa Fe. The quiet and somewhat remote location was a short, easy drive into Santa Fe and very close to Tesuque Village Market, which quickly became our go-to for great local favorites. We would certainly stay here again!

Just right!
We were in Santa Fe for a wedding at the Four Seasons and the property was literally across the street. Perfect mornings with the views and the piñon wood burning in the outdoor fireplace. Jan was great to work with and very proactive in her communications. About 15 minutes to the Plaza. Be aware that the nearest store is in Santa Fe, so recommend you stock fridge when heading to property from Santa Fe. Great art, Great deck, and very clean.
