Perched high in the Sangre de Cristo foothills at 8,100 feet, 2137 Paseo Ponderosa offers an opportunity have a life in the coveted Hyde Park Estates--just across from 10,000 Waves. Deep in the pines, on a rugged and wild acre of land, this one-of-a-kind property evokes the essence of an old ski lodge--cozy, luxurious, and timeless. Built in 1960 as the first home in Hyde Park Estates, this 3,400+ square foot residence combines classic Santa Fe craftsmanship with mountain-lodge charm. Thick adobe walls, dark pine floors, vigas and latilla ceilings, arched passageways, and hand-carved cabinetry all reflect the artistic spirit and enduring quality of its original design. Custom doors and hardware, hand carved cabinets everywhere. Large windows and multiple decks showcase breathtaking, uninterrupted views to Colorado. Here, storms dance across the landscape in dramatic displays, creating a front-row seat to Mother Nature's light shows. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and three baths in a versatile layout that provides cozy gathering spaces and serene privacy. Multiple kiva fireplaces, a formal living and dining area, and a penthouse-style owner's suite with sweeping views of northern New Mexico create a retreat-like experience. Whether you're hosting lively dinners on the expansive brick patio or reading quietly beneath a portal with mountain breezes as your companion, the lifestyle here is one of peace and reflection. Access to porches and decks from nearly every room enhances indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The large front patio is perfect for transforming into an outdoor kitchen, and mature native landscaping, coyote fencing, and dry stack rock walls add to the sense of seclusion and authenticity. 2137 Paseo Ponderosa is both a quiet mountain escape and an ideal base just a short drive to Ski Santa Fe, or minutes to downtown Santa Fe, the Plaza and all that makes Santa Fe a favorite place to visit and stay. Whether you envision it as a full-time residence, vacation chalet, or multigenerational retreat, this timeless property is the kind that only comes around once in a lifetime.
