Camino Pequeno – The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico

Camino Pequeno – The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico

It’s mid September and the amber light that seeps down through the cottonwoods reveals the most romantic and secluded lanes one could ever hope to find.  In the heart of the historic Eastside neighborhood just off East Alameda is Camino Pequeno and at the end of this heavily wooded lane is an area designated as a Wildlife Preserve, home to beaver, birds and even black bears dining in the apple orchards. Until you take a stroll through this Eden it’s hard to believe that it’s a short walk to the Plaza and Downtown Santa Fe. The Santa Fe River is just a trickle now but its silver threads of water flow parallel to the Acequia de la Muralla, irrigating the gardens of thirteen families residing here.  

Before you put on your walking shoes be sure to take a look at  www.8CaminoPequeno.com

Price – $1,300,000  MLS# 904490 

Listen to the crackle of embers from the stone fireplace and the murmur of the silver threads of water flowing from the acequia and the Santa Fe River.  Camino Pequeno is arguably the prettiest, most romantic private lane on the historic East side of Santa Fe.  This bit of Eden is in a Wildlife Preserve and includes a .375 acre lot.  There is an all-adobe meditation chapel, a studio, hot tub, sauna, two very large and private courtyards, tall cottonwoods, a Guest House and more.
