Property Description
Set amid mature piñon, established gardens, fruit trees, a moss-rock-lined acequia, and the quiet rhythms of Upper Canyon, the residence feels distinctly removed while remaining only minutes from Canyon Road, the Plaza, Cerro Gordo Trailhead, and the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary. It is a setting that feels less like an address and more like a sanctuary.
The home invites a discerning architectural eye. Rich in authentic Santa Fe character yet inherently adaptable, it offers the opportunity to preserve what is compelling, reinterpret what is possible, and create a residence that feels entirely personal. Five fireplaces, traditional detailing, a south-facing solarium, and an Anasazi-inspired stairway provide an evocative foundation for its next chapter.
Two living areas and five separate entrances create an unusual degree of versatility. Three traditional bedrooms are complemented by additional spaces capable of accommodating a variety of uses, allowing the residence to evolve as a primary home, an intimate Santa Fe retreat, a multigenerational residence, or a property incorporating private guest, studio, office, or creative spaces.
At the heart of the home, the generous kitchen has the scale of a true gathering room, complete with its own gas fireplace. Above, the private upper studio is distinguished by oak flooring and hand-finished American clay walls, while dramatic eight-by-eight-foot windows capture mountain views, changing light, and the surrounding piñon-covered hills. A broad balcony and 14-by-14-foot deck extend this elevated perspective outdoors.
The grounds are integral to the experience. Terraced garden areas, flagstone paths, established fruit trees, mature vegetation, and the acequia create layers of texture and privacy, with deer among the frequent visitors. Here, architecture and landscape have the opportunity to become something deeply individual.
Adding to its distinction, the property is located in Santa Fe County rather than within the municipal limits of the City of Santa Fe and has no HOA, offering an increasingly uncommon measure of independence along the historic Eastside. Its County location also means the City of Santa Fe High-End Excise Tax for Affordable Housing does not apply.
A newer roof with transferable warranty provides an important practical benefit.
1692 Upper Canyon Road is not a residence that asks simply to be occupied. It invites imagination. For the buyer, architect, or designer who recognizes the value of place—and the rare opportunity to shape a home around it—this is a compelling canvas on one of Santa Fe's most enduringly desirable roads.
