5 Cougar Canyon , Santa Fe, NM 87508(Santa Fe County)

Escape to this enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom country retreat on 2.6 private acres in Lower Canoncito, just 20 minutes from the Historic Santa Fe Plaza. This sanctuary is defined by its dramatic rock formations and sweeping 360-degree views, offering a rare combination of absolute privacy and immediate access to the 4,100-acre Eldorado Preserve and the Galisteo Basin. The home's interior features an open-concept living area under soaring cathedral ceilings, leading to a large, fully fenced front perennial garden and a back portal with unobstructed "forever views" and no other properties in sight. The layout emphasizes privacy and functionality; the Owner's Suite, complete with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, is situated away from the guest wing. A refreshed gallery kitchen offers ample counter space and a spacious walk-in pantry, complemented by new paint and a brand-new dish washing machine. Infrastructure and lifestyle upgrades are at the forefront of this property. A state-of-the-art NAVIEN system provides both instant hot water and efficient radiant heat, while Starlink is already installed for high-speed connectivity. The land is perfectly equipped for a homestead lifestyle, featuring a massive new livestock corral with a 10x12 barn shed and attached chicken coop. The property is fully fenced with strategic entry gates at the far end for easy access. To support the lush surroundings and water conservancy, the home utilizes a shared 12,000 gallon well with a brand new well pump and 2,000-gallon cistern/grey water systems connected to the roof of the home for rainwater catchment. This is the ultimate refuge for an artist, writer, or family to enjoy the enchanting open skies and inspiration of Northern New Mexico.
