Adobe Arabella

Adobe Arabella is an idyllic organic retreat, located in Santa Fe’s Historic Eastside on a serene residential lane within easy walking distance of Canyon Road, the Historic Santa Fe Plaza, and the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This tranquil sanctuary—concealed behind ivy covered adobe walls —offers convenient access to world class galleries, museums, restaurants, spas, the farmers’ market, skiing, mountain biking and much more without the touristy downtown bustle. Simply put, Adobe Arabella is paradise found!
 
Historic & Modern: Adobe Arabella offers authentic Santa Fe charm with century old Pueblo Revival architecture and quintessential New Mexican design elements such as wood burning kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, private courtyards with soothing fountains, and a traditional portal-covered patio. Totally renovated three times since 2008, this modern vacation rental features lofty, natural light-filled rooms and an open floor plan with plenty of space for cooking, dining and entertaining. Luxurious green design (eco-friendly, nontoxic materials and furnishings) and user- friendly amenities throughout the home pamper the most discriminating travelers.
 
Antiques and contemporary décor mingle in a whimsical marriage of design and adventure.  Original design+built furnishings (many commissioned with local Santa Fe artists and designers) and tastefully restored mid-century modern furniture with collection of art.
 
Unwind in two enclosed, private outdoor areas with gardens, fountains, dining, lounging and grilling. The portals, patio, seamless inside/outside flow and lofty ceiling heights create an open, expansive feeling yet ensure your total privacy.
 
Green Design: Adobe Arabella balances Santa Fe allure with healthy, eco-friendly design to ensure a soothing, healing sanctuary for your mind and body while reducing impact to the earth.
 
Clean air quality and a healthy living environment are top priorities at Adobe Arabella. The following green features are included to ensure guests’ wellbeing:
 
Full house HEPA air filtration system and HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner eliminate dust and airborne particulates.
 
Energy efficient appliances and other systems minimize energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable, modern home. LED energy saving lighting used throughout the home.
 
All curtains, throw blankets, rugs and other fabrics in the home are also all comprised of natural materials ranging from organic cotton to untreated cashmere, wool, linen, bamboo, silk, animal hides and hemp.
 
Wood furniture and decor are hand-made (many by local artisans) with natural materials and non-toxic finishes.
 
All natural stains and sealers were used on floors, furniture and other surfaces.
 
Adobe Arabella is equipped with efficient heating and air conditioning, but many guests may find that they are unnecessary. Thick adobe walls regulate internal temperatures on the warmest and coolest days as they have for centuries. Large windows, skylights and multiple exterior doors permit generous air circulation and ample sunlight. This reduces dependence on artificial air and lighting systems while favoring natural comfort over energy consumption. During crisp winter days passive solar warms Adobe Arabella. Heavily interlined natural draperies and energy efficient windows and doors insulate against drafts at night.
 
Approximately 1,400 net square feet.
