Tesuque | Great Santa Fe Neighborhoods | SantaFe.com

Discover Tesuque, a secluded village of stunning estates and incredible art just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Among lush green piñon trees and sculpture gardens, hilltop vistas, and rolling foothills and valleys, the village of Tesuque echoes of a more bucolic time, a world apart from the dynamic energy of Santa Fe. However, though pastoral and picturesque, this census-designated place is in reality just a mere ten minutes north of the Santa Fe Plaza and the exciting arts’ culture of Downtown Santa Fe. Horses near Tesuque, New Mexico.

The community is named after the Tesuque Pueblo nearby, a small village tribe located on land occupied since 1200 A.D. Rural and horse-friendly, the community is also highly artistic and serves as a home for a variety of crafters, potters, painters, and other multi-media artists. The population remains small — under 1,000 — and consequently, Tesuque maintains its status as a secret cache gem sheltered in the red-brown landscape north of Santa Fe.

The houses here radiate luxury melded with the old-world adobe and Territorial Revival styles. With soft lines and natural palettes, these multimillion-dollar estates exude a rustic regality that makes every day a resort experience. Modern amenities and finishes are just one allure of residential housing in this popular area, and many homes are set off the road, furnished with a privacy gate. In addition to single-family estates and splendid mansions, Tesuque also has several multi-family residences, which include guest houses and vast plots of land.
