Sunset Haven | Mountain Views, Shuffleboard!

Visualize stars hanging from the sky, more numerous than one man can count, stretching from horizon to horizon as the day darkens. And in the distance, on a clear night, picture the glow of lights over Albuquerque, 65 miles to the south-west dancing in the night sky. Simply think, you could be curling up on a brown suede couch, nestled in front of a Piñon wood-burning fireplace, sipping on a homebrew of melted hot chocolate during the winter months. Everything you could possibly want in a vacation stay is right here!

The name is well earned displaying world-class views of the sinking sun over the skyline. 360 degrees of the greatest sights Santa Fe has to offer are visible from every space - even the laundry room! Located just southeast of Santa Fe, Sunset Haven sits perched on 10 acres of high desert, a turn up the road from Old Route 66, and an easy 15-minute drive to the renowned Santa Fe Plaza. This is an older home, built for comfort and ease, from the covered walkway to the large, angled deck. Simply stated, it’s spectacular. This place is nothing short of luxe and repose.

For a little mood music, the living room has a rockin’ soundbar sitting on a shelf just ready to be flipped on with a smartphone. Never feel left out or disconnected with this open floor plan, flowing from living to dining space, from the kitchen to game room. The game room comes complete with a regulation size shuffleboard table, flat screen TV, DVD player, board games, and books.

One bedroom has a king bed, two bedrooms are equipped with queen-sized beds, plenty of windows, and closets to stash all that ski equipment or hiking gear.
