Chef’s Kitchen
The expansive dining area offers a spacious and inviting atmosphere, perfectly suited for hosting gatherings and entertaining guests. Adjacent to this, the recently remodeled chef’s kitchen stands out with its blend of functionality and elegance. It features soapstone countertops that provide a smooth, heat-resistant workspace, complemented by a sleek quartz sink designed for both practicality and modern appeal. The kitchen’s custom cabinetry has been thoughtfully crafted by local artisans, showcasing exceptional quality and attention to detail. Among these, the hand-hewn mahogany pantry adds a touch of rustic charm and timeless sophistication, offering ample storage while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space. Together, these elements create a harmonious environment ideal for culinary creativity and social connection.
Hiking and Biking
Hike or bike less than one mile in either direction from the front porch and you’ll find yourself immersed in the Santa Fe National Forest, offering two distinctly different daily outdoor experiences. To the west, cross Bishops Lodge Road and follow a quarter-mile stretch up White Boulder Road, then through a private easement, to reach the forest's well-traveled Ridge Trail. This trail climbs above the valley into a landscape of juniper and piñon, boasting expansive views of the Santa Fe Opera and the Jemez Mountains, with multiple loop options and routes descending toward Big Tesuque Canyon Road or the Winsor Trail. Heading east on Bishops Lodge Road, just 50 yards from the front door, you can reach Big Tesuque Canyon Road and, soon after, the popular Winsor Trail. This trail follows a year-round creek, offering a lush, tall-pine setting with bubbling water sounds year-round. For those seeking a longer adventure, the trail extends all the way to the ski area, where cyclists can enjoy a thrilling 9-mile downhill ride back via connecting trails. Beyond these easy-access hikes, a quick 20-minute drive opens access to the extensive trail systems along Hyde Park Road, broadening the options for outdoor exploration.
Entertainment
Tesuque Village is ideally situated just minutes from several key attractions, including the renowned Santa Fe Opera, the popular El Nido restaurant, and the lively local favorite, Tesuque Market. Residents and visitors enjoy easy access to these cultural and culinary hotspots while being only an 8-minute drive from the Santa Fe Plaza, the heart of downtown. The village is also known for its vibrant arts community, featuring numerous artist studios that contribute to the unique and creative atmosphere of the area.
