Starry Night-The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87501
  
Last night I received a call from a neighbor of a vacant home I have listed for sale. She lives in a neighborhood of  luxury homes and it was a friendly call to say that someone had forgotten to turn off an outdoor porch light.  She went on to say that she'd give me a couple of days to have it turned off or she would call the sheriff. Of course, I immediately went and took care of … (1 comments)

Christmas at The Palace - The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico

This first week of December is an exciting time for most Santa Fean's.  Farolitos are in place along the rooftops, the shops are "dressed in holiday style", we've had a gentle dusting of snow and I'm rehearsing the tunes from my CD, "A Tender Santa Fe Christmas".  The first time our son, Nick, sat on Santa's knee was in the courtyard of the Palace of The Governors in downtown Santa Fe.  It is … (0 comments)

luxury homes: Galisteo – The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico – Michael’s Blog - 04/23/09 09:48 AM
A visit to Northern New Mexico and Santa Fe would not be complete without a Sunday drive to the charming and historic 305 year old village of Galisteo.  Just 18 scenic miles from Santa Fe and 49 miles from Albuquerque, you will see why artists, urban captains of industry, celebrity designers and movie producers choose Galisteo as their home.   July offers the annual rodeo and is a combination of spectacular scenery, cowboy culture and living history. The Galisteo Studio Tour is held every October.   The fall colors of the giant cottonwoods are a stunning sight along the river.  Two amazing homes … (0 comments)

luxury homes: Sundance Estates - The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico - Michael’s Blog - 04/16/09 10:00 AM
Santa Fe is still a place that has neighborhoods. When I think of Santa Fe, it's all about lifestyle.  Here, a family can ski in the morning and play tennis or golf in the afternoon.  Or hike in the morning and ride horses in the afternoon.  Or switch them all about! This week, I'm letting you know about the neighborhood of Sundance Estates.  Just 15 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, the homes here are all built with the lifestyle in mind.  Many of the 2 ½ acre sites have majestic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Santa … (0 comments)
