Adobe Arabella | Tranquil Santa Fe Retreat

Adobe Arabella

Nestled in the heart of Santa Fe's Historic Eastside, Adobe Arabella offers an idyllic and organic retreat, situated on a tranquil residential lane just a short walk from Canyon Road, the Historic Santa Fe Plaza, and the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Behind ivy-covered adobe walls, this serene sanctuary offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to the city's world-class galleries, museums, restaurants, spas, the farmers' market, skiing, and mountain biking. It’s the perfect haven for those seeking peace and privacy, yet within easy reach of Santa Fe's cultural treasures—truly, a paradise found.

Historic Meets Modern
Adobe Arabella seamlessly blends authentic Santa Fe charm with modern luxury. The century-old Pueblo Revival architecture is enhanced by quintessential New Mexican design elements, including wood-burning kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, private courtyards with soothing fountains, and a traditional portal-covered patio. Renovated three times since 2008, the home features lofty, light-filled rooms and an open floor plan, ideal for cooking, dining, and entertaining.

The property incorporates luxurious green design principles, utilizing eco-friendly, non-toxic materials and furnishings that cater to the most discerning travelers. The interiors present a delightful fusion of antique and contemporary décor, with original, custom-built furniture commissioned from local Santa Fe artists and designers, alongside tastefully restored mid-century modern pieces and a collection of fine art.

Outdoor Living
The home offers two enclosed, private outdoor areas, complete with gardens, fountains, dining spaces, lounging areas, and a grill. The seamless flow from the inside to the outside, combined with the lofty ceiling heights and portals, ensures an expansive yet private feel. These outdoor spaces provide a perfect environment for relaxation or entertaining, while the soothing sounds of the fountains create a peaceful atmosphere.

Green Design
Adobe Arabella harmoniously combines Santa Fe's allure with eco-friendly design, offering a healthy and healing sanctuary. Clean air quality and environmental sustainability are top priorities, ensuring guests enjoy a soothing retreat while minimizing the property’s impact on the earth.

Key green features include a full-house HEPA air filtration system and HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner to eliminate dust and airborne particulates. Energy-efficient appliances and systems are installed throughout the home, including LED lighting and other features that minimize energy consumption while maintaining comfort. The home’s fabrics—ranging from organic cotton to untreated cashmere, wool, bamboo, silk, animal hides, and hemp—are all natural materials. Wood furniture and decor are handmade, often by local artisans, using natural materials and non-toxic finishes. Additionally, all natural stains and sealers were used on floors, furniture, and other surfaces.

Sustainability and Comfort
Adobe Arabella offers efficient heating and air conditioning, although many guests may find these unnecessary. The home’s thick adobe walls regulate internal temperatures naturally, providing a comfortable environment year-round. Large windows, skylights, and multiple exterior doors allow for ample sunlight and airflow, reducing reliance on artificial air and lighting. During colder months, passive solar warmth takes over, while heavily interlined natural draperies and energy-efficient windows and doors help insulate the home at night.

Space Comfort
With approximately 1,400 square feet of living space, Adobe Arabella is a spacious yet intimate retreat, designed to provide the ultimate in comfort and serenity.
