Breathtaking views
No property in Santa Fe is as well endowed with the full accompaniment of the views that set Santa Fe off from any other city in the U.S.
Starting with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east, Monte Sereno has stadium seating for what locals call “The Sangre’s” – which turn red at sunset as their palette catches the fading sun.
To the north is the vast area called “The Badlands” which stretch all the way to the New Mexico/Colorado border, and feature numerous landmarks like the Black Mesa on the Santa Clara Reservation, the lights of Española at night, and the vast stretch of land that encompasses all of Northern New Mexico – including views to the Colorado border.
To the west are the Jemez Mountains, which display both a depth and a breadth illuminated nightly by New Mexico’s spectacular sunsets – and the small canyons and pathways that lead to Los Alamos.
Lastly, to the south the Ortiz and Sandia mountains are glimpsed by a few of the home sites, as well as the night lights of Santa Fe.
