About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Architectural Peace and Perfection in the Sandia Mountains

I designed and built this very special home to feel like a zen meditation when you're here. Please step in and allow it to bring you peace and tranquility during your stay. We are only minutes from Albuquerque, but it feels like a world away. The home is completely off-grid and built with a thousand sustainable elements in mind. If you're interested in sustainable building ... I would be more than happy to share the story of its design and construction with you. And if you just want to zen out ... endless peace, quiet, and spectacular views greet you at every turn and in every moment. Wonderful for retreats and gatherings of any kind. Please just be open to being mindful of the space and the resources. :) If there are less than 8 individuals in your party, contact me, and I may be able to provide you with a slightly lower custom rate.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
