A magnificent hilltop compound with four separate residences listed for $28 million has become the most expensive listing in Santa Fe, NM.

Vida Encantada, which means “charmed life,” is the 3.7-acre property offering resort-style living in 18,000 square feet of space.

Situated on a hill north of downtown Santa Fe, the 14-bedroom compound offers many excuses to never have to leave.

“The design and construction of this home is as good as it gets anywhere,” says listing agent Tim Van Camp, of Sotheby’s International Realty Santa Fe–main downtown brokerage. “It’s five minutes from Santa Fe Plaza and has views of the city and three mountain ranges. It’s just spectacular.”

Grand-scale entertaining

Three kitchens and five kitchenettes are designed for grand-scale entertaining. And a 600-bottle wine cellar can house your impressive collection.

“There are four different homes on the property,” Van Camp says. “The current owner designed it as a family compound to host family and friends.”

Other standout luxe amenities include a safe in the main residence, a ski locker room, and a place to stash your furs.

When it comes to relaxing, the options include spa facilities on site, along with a salon, a two-person massage room, a tricked-out gym, and a sauna.

The outdoor living space is sensational as well, with an entertainment pavilion complete with a dining area. A retractable screen and projector offer an open-air cinema. There’s also a heated swimming pool and 10-person spa.

The property comes with a three-car garage, and the acreage features lush landscaping, perennial and rose gardens, vegetable and herb gardens, fruit trees, berry vines and bushes, a 25-chicken coop, and a greenhouse, according to the listing.

Each residence features a Crestron home automation system, an underground storage space, and an electronic server rack room.

Who does Van Camp think will be the next lucky buyer?

“I have been in the business for 30 years, so I never predict anything, but I think it will be someone who wants the ultimate family compound,” he says. “The design and level of finishes are better than anything I have ever seen.”
