Historical Oasis

Built in 1953 for British expatriate Agnes “Moya” Canning, Casa en los Cerros, located on Mountain Road, was designed by renowned architect John Gaw Meem* in his signature Santa Fe Style. It was one of Meem’s final projects, featuring an open living/dining plan reflective of post-WWII design trends. Canning lived there until her death in the late 1990s, sharing the home with Cecily Cunha, a Hawaiian-Portuguese former Olympic swimmer.

Located along the Old Santa Fe Trail at the city's edge in the Foothills subdivision, Mountain Road became a haven for free-spirited women seeking alternatives to conventional society. Moya and Cecily, known for their vibrant personalities, hosted cultural figures like Luciano Pavarotti and Johnny Weissmuller. They spent winters in Honolulu, and the home’s pool—also built in 1953—reflected Cecily’s love of swimming.

The house, nestled between Sun and Moon Mountains, blends wild landscape with curated design, paying tribute to Meem’s architectural philosophy and the independent spirit that defined 20th-century Santa Fe.

The main house features a luxurious primary suite with a king bed, kiva fireplace, balcony, and an en suite dressing room and bath equipped with a tub, shower, bidet, and commode. A cozy second bedroom with a queen bed and an adjacent full bath is located down the hall. The expansive portal, adorned with a large corner fireplace, provides sweeping views of the surrounding hills, making it an ideal spot for relaxation in a hammock or comfortable chairs. The generous living room, featuring a corner fireplace and multiple seating areas, flows into a fully-equipped kitchen that is perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.

Just a short distance away, the separate casita offers an alcove queen bed, living area, balcony, compact fridge, coffee counter, and a full bath with tub and shower. The entire property encompasses approximately 3,000 square feet, with the main house alone measuring 2,400 square feet. Equipped with four fireplaces, forced-air heating, and individual air conditioning units in each room, this gated compound ensures privacy and tranquility. Conveniently located, the Santa Fe Plaza and Railyard District are only a 7-10 minute drive away, making this exquisite home a perfect sanctuary for a comfortable and relaxing stay, regardless of the weather.

This five-acre estate boasts breathtaking mountain vistas and stunning sunsets. With direct access to the Sun and Moon Mountain hiking trails and protected open spaces, outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore. The main house and separate casita offer spacious interiors, while the outdoor amenities include a heated pool nestled in a meadow garden, complete with a shaded terrace and cabana that overlook the Cerrillos Hills and Sandia Mountain.

*John Gaw Meem IV (November 17, 1894 – August 4, 1983) was an American architect based in Santa Fe, NM. He is best known for his instrumental role in the development and popularization of the Pueblo Revival Style and as a proponent of architectural regionalism in the face of international modernism. Meem is regarded as one of the most important and influential architects to have worked in New Mexico and is widely known for designing Los Poblanos and La Quinta in Albuquerque. Meem also was a publisher of the Historic Design Review Guide still used today by the Historic Design Review Committee preserving Santa Fe’s unique architectural style and history.
