Views, privacy, acreage! Rural living close to town. This approx 2675 sq. ft. main house and approx 615 sq. ft. guest house are located on 10.86 acres in Las Dos, a subdivision of large lots in the NW Quadrant, 25 minutes from downtown Sant Fe. Only one owner – the internationally acclaimed poet, linguist and anthropologist – Nathaniel Tarn. This is a unique estate. The main house was built in 1984 to house a significant library which encompassed global interests in literature, history and anthropology. The principal residence is multi-level and the views to the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountain Ranges are spectacular. The main level comprises open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with a soaring, two-story high ceiling. Also on the main level are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, art gallery spaces and a laundry room. Up a half flight of stairs there’s a private office. Another half-flight of stairs accesses a huge ante-chamber which overlooks the living area and a second, large private office. Throughout the house there are built-in book-cases. The large, surprise bonus is the basement – configured as a library for Nathaniel Tarn’s extensive book collection, but which can be adapted for many uses – a home exercise room, a media room or whatever activity the new owner pursues. Steps away from the main house there is a one-bedroom, one bathroom, detached guest house with living room and kitchenette. Built in approximately 1999 as part studio, it is a huge addition to the flexible uses of this amazing property. Throughout both residences there is ample light. A rear portal provide an intimate space for the enjoyment of outside living. Up to four horses are permitted. The property is the estate of the original owner. The new owner will likely wish to update the kitchen and bathrooms
