Welcome to Windmill Hill, up a meandering driveway to an unparalleled one-and-a-half-acre estate in Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside, perched off Garcia Street with fabulous views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains and a fully adjudicated three-acre foot pre-basin well. This offering by renowned design/builder McDowell Fine Homes, Inc. is the latest in a long tradition of the finest properties in Santa Fe, where Doug McDowell will be creating an exceptional residence with state of the art construction and energy efficiency; a brand-new home that feels old Santa Fe, as only Doug conceives and produces – classic NM Pueblo architectural design and details brought forward into modern, light and open spaces that generate a sense of place. Made with local indigenous materials, the home will feature wood or stone floors, plaster walls, divided light windows, vigas and latillas or coved ceilings throughout, handmade cabinets and doors, and three fireplaces. The super-insulated composition of the home includes a high-energy-performance, high-efficiency, green, double-frame Larsen Tress with R-40-60 insulation wall system of plus rigid foam outside and a roof with vigas with trusses above filled with insulation and topped with a TPO membrane R-60 roof, also a cool roof. The solar radiant hot water system supplies domestic hot water, which can be augmented, if or when necessary, by a modulating (smart system learns your water-use behavior) wall boiler also serving the in-floor radiant heating system. Our wonderful clean Santa Fe air is further enhanced by energy-recovery ventilation with HEPA filtration, and there are AC/heating mini-splits as well. The client has the opportunity to work in the design-build process with Doug to produce the residence of their choice with his client-driven design on finish-out. Additions might also include a guest house or two small casitas, a swimming pool, or an orchard or pond. Close to Canyon Road, yet where one can live with privacy and great views in the heart of town. Owner is a NM real estate broker.
