THE MAIN RESIDENCE: An interior courtyard and fountain create a serene centerpoint to the home’s inviting design. Graced with extensive hallways to display art, the spacious residence features a great room anchored by facing fireplaces and a panelled library with a hidden entrance to a private study. Appointed with a fireplace, the master suite is served by two separate baths, one of which is also warmed by a fireplace. The gourmet kitchen and two guest bedrooms are each further enhanced by a fireplace, while a fourth bedroom has a secret door off the library. Thoughtful details abound, such as artisan-crafted doors from Spain and India, fixtures from Egypt and France, and tiles from Spain and Italy. Ceramic religious plaques reclaimed from old chapels are set into the plastered walls; the piece in the master bath is an antique relic from Italy. Generous outdoor areas are devoted to expanding the elegant living space.
THE ART STUDIO AND CONFERENCE CENTER: Complementing the main residence is a separate and expansive two-story art studio. Skylights flood the space with vivid natural light, making it ideal for inspiring a creative spirit. The studio was used for pottery and painting and also as a gallery for several artists during the annual Abiquiu Art Tour. A large closet is plumbed to serve as a darkroom. The facility spans about 5,700 square feet and includes a full bath with a steamshower, a settee area with a fireplace, and two small apartments—each with a full kitchen, bath, and bedroom.
THE GUEST HOUSE: Located a short walk from the main residence is the stand-alone guest house. The walled courtyard is entered through a gate topped by a charming bell. Local artist Gary Campbell designed the guest house and also hand-painted the doors and decorative tiles found within. A soaring ceiling is the centerpiece of the main living area; and a screened-in porch overlooking the ponds and fields is a perfect spot for quiet contemplation. A room off the master suite can serve as either an office or a smaller bedroom. Connecting two cozy casitas, a small courtyard at the center of the guest house is an additional delight at this incredibly enticing and unique estate.
Offered at $7,975,000.
