This upscale Sierra del Norte 1.314-acre residential lot, tucked into the magnificently rugged foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just 3 + miles away from the Santa Fe Plaza, offers splendid panoramic views and a five-star location. Piñon trees dot the hillsides and decorate the surrounding landscape. Sierra del Norte homeowners have the advantage of being inside Santa Fe city limits, which affords the neighborhood paved streets, underground utilities, and city water. Design covenants ensure architectural continuity, while the lots vary in size, and in steepness. Incomparable views in Sierra del Norte stretch out to include the Jemez Mountains to the west, and the Sandia Mountains and the Cerrillos Hills to the south. This conveniently-located community sits adjacent to the 22 miles of Dale Ball Hiking Trails, and the nearby Santa Fe National Forest offers plenty of hiking and biking as well. The world-renowned Santa Fe Opera House is a short drive to the west, and in wintertime, skiers and snowboarders delight in the Nordic and Alpine trails at the nearby Santa Fe Ski Basin. Santa Fe attractions such as the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Palace of the Governors, New Mexico Museum of Art, and Canyon Road's boutiques and art galleries – along with a plethora of fine dining establishments – are just a few miles away.
