About Eldorado at Santa Fe

Eldorado was once part of the historic Lamy Ranch, and Santa Fe County approved the first residential plat in 1972. Today the Eldorado Community Improvement Association (ECIA) counts about 2,776 parcels across a residential area of roughly 6,000 acres. The community also owns a preserve of more than 4,000 acres, plus greenbelts.

People often call the whole area on both sides of US 285 "Eldorado," but the Eldorado at Santa Fe subdivision itself is surrounded by about 19 separately named subdivisions, including properties along the HWY 285 corridor. Check which one a property belongs to, because covenants and association rules differ.

Adobe and Solar Homes in Eldorado

  • Styles: Pueblo Revival and Territorial adobe-style homes, with many custom builds.

A special home in Eldorado that has been lovingly maintained and updated through 36 years of ownership. It's very unusual for owners to live in one house for this length of time and so is truly a sign of "customer satisfaction". The owners enjoyed the large back yard with mountain views, the privacy that 4 bedrooms allowed, two front rooms - one serves as a living room and the other could be a media room or a dining room. Between the two rooms in the south wing of the house is a very efficient gas burning stove and the living room has a trombe wall for solar collection. You will also notice mini-splits throughout. The kitchen has been completely renovated and is really a delight! All appliances are recent and remain with the house. Access to the kitchen is easy to both the dining room and a large family room - where you will notice both a kiva fireplace (wood-burning) and glass sliders to a welcoming back yard and shaded portal. The yard is landscaped, and there is also real grass! There is one bath in the hall, with a bathtub + shower. Along the hallway you will find 3 bedrooms, with the main bedroom on the other side of the hallway, a private retreat. Currently one of the 4 bedrooms is a home office. All of the bedrooms have generous closets and there is a linen closet in the hallway. The location is ideal for getting on the highway for an easy commute. The sellers appreciated the Eldorado school system, the clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, and dog run park. The entire subdivision is designed for casual, comfortable living with many amenities including a grocery store and hardware shop. Renovations make the house "move in ready": a grand kitchen - so often buyers need to consider a kitchen renovation and in this home, the kitchen and both bathrooms have been renovated. The house is ready to welcome new owners! *Some photos in this listing have been virtually staged. Furniture & decor shown in those images are digital and not included with the property.
