Description

Acquire a treasured piece of Santa Fe history with The Acequia Madre House, a cornerstone and time capsule of Santa Fe's rich cultural and artistic legacy. This truly remarkable estate, built in 1926 by the influential women Eva Scott Fnyes, her daughter Leonora S. M. Curtin, and granddaughter Leonora F. Curtin, is a living museum of fine handcrafted woodwork, sculpted kiva fireplaces, and traditional artistic details. These trailblazing women played a significant role in the "cultural crafting" of Santa Fe, and their legacy is beautifully reflected in the exquisite workmanship of this extraordinary property. Set on just over 3 acres within the esteemed Camino del Monte Sol Historic District, The Acequia Madre House features a spacious 5,450 sq ft main house alongside a 2,313 sq ft carriage house. Recognized by both federal and state historic preservation authorities, the main house embodies the rich heritage of the region. Designed in classic Old Santa Fe Style, the single-story structure showcases territorial elements that capture the essence of Southwestern architecture. Inside, the main house offers an array of inviting spaces, from cozy to grand, including a spacious living room that serves as the perfect gathering place, an elegant dining room, and a study that provides a quiet retreat for work or reflection. Two luminous sunrooms create serene spots to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The estate includes a one-car garage as well as parking for up to 13 vehicles. The property is adorned with mature trees and features a large lawn. Conveniently located just moments away from iconic Canyon Road and the historic downtown plaza, this architectural and historical showpiece is unequaled in its entertaining and artistic potential.
