4 Bedroom House in Santa Fe
The Nicho House: An Ultra-Modern Adobe "Living Museum"
Discover Santa Fe’s most unique architectural sanctuary. Originally an 80-year-old local corner store, The Nicho House has been masterfully reimagined into an ultra-contemporary masterpiece. This is not just a place to stay; it is a "living museum" that blends the historic soul of authentic adobe with sleek, minimalist luxury.
THE SIGNATURE "NICHO" EXPERIENCE
The home is named for its 50+ custom-built nichos - the traditional recessed art shelves of the Southwest. We have elevated this historic feature into a modern gallery experience.
- Museum-Grade Lighting: Every nicho is equipped with professional low-voltage lighting, casting a warm, curated glow over our collection of global art throughout the night.
- Photographic Design: From the gleaming white polished cement floors to the traditional kiva fireplace, every corner of this home was designed to be captured and remembered.
FOUR CURATED BEDROOM GALLERIES (Sleeps 8)
Each bedroom is a private sanctuary, featuring distinct cultural themes designed to inspire:
- The Global Guardian Suite: Features a curated collection of masks from around the world, traditionally representing protection and peace. (1 King Bed)
- The African Artistry Suite (Master): Showcasing striking sculptures and textures. (1 King Bed)
- The American Craft Suite: An homage to historic ceramic pottery and craftsmanship. (1 Queen Bed)
- The Bali Suite: Intricate hand-carved masks and sculptures. (1 Queen Bed)
GOURMET CHEF’S KITCHEN & DINING

- Materials: Dramatic Italian granite countertops paired with elegant French white oak cabinetry.
- Appliances: Professional LG & KitchenAid suite, including a sleek glass-top electric range (ideal for precision cooking).

SPA-INSPIRED BATHROOMS

- The Primary Bath: Features an oversized soaking tub, designed for unwinding with a glass of wine after a day of exploring high-desert trails.

- Relax: A premium hot tub sits under the famous New Mexico stars.
