Sotheby’s International Realty

In the tree-studded rolling hills northwest of town are Las Campanas and a host of other developments and neighborhoods of larger, private lots and newer Santa Fe homes, most with city services and utilities. The land here sits between the city and the arroyos that carry rainwater to the Rio Grande, just a few miles west, creating a landscape almost like ocean waves rolling into shore. The community of Las Campanas has been going strong for over 10 years seeing a steady supply of new homes beginning around 1 million in price on lots ranging from about 200K to much higher for larger parcels. The two signature Jack Nicklaus golf courses, combined with a world-class equestrian facility and extensive trail network, the triple adobe clubhouse that hosts golfers and diners and gala events, and a sprawling day spa make this resort community a first class find for those shopping for amenities to enjoy near home. In the surrounding areas, off Tano Road with views to Colorado, in Aldea with a planned community design that favors walking and neighborhoods, and in the hills from La Tierra all the way to Caja del Rio and the Santa Fe airport, rural is the lifestyle and the look. Lots range from 1 to 20 acres, many equipped with horse facilities. Closer to the 285 North highway corridor, the Santa Fe Opera holds court with its internationally renowned productions. There is even a development locally known as the Opera town homes.
