La Tierra & Tano Road
PRIVACY, NATURE & ENDLESS PANORAMIC VIEWS
On Santa Fe's northwest side, La Tierra and Tano Road offer a distinctly rural alternative to traditional in-town neighborhoods. Known for larger properties, dramatic mountain and sunset views, native landscapes and a sense of privacy, the area appeals to those who want space and serenity without being far from Santa Fe.
A Landscape of Open Space
The area sits among the foothills and high-desert landscape west and northwest of Santa Fe, where arroyos, mesas, piñon-juniper woodlands and open land create a strong connection to the natural environment. La Tierra Trails, a network of public trails through the surrounding open space, provides opportunities for hiking, biking and horseback riding and reinforces the area's outdoor-oriented character.
Tano Road
Tano Road winds through a largely rural landscape northwest of the city. Large lots and private driveways are characteristic of the area, with properties ranging from traditional Northern New Mexico adobes to contemporary homes and expansive estates. The road's elevated terrain provides some of the area's most spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jemez Mountains and Santa Fe's western landscape.
La Tierra
La Tierra is a residential community characterized by larger lots, open terrain and a mix of architectural styles. Its location provides a feeling of being removed from the city, while still offering relatively convenient access to downtown Santa Fe. Homes here often take advantage of the landscape with portals, courtyards, outdoor living spaces and expansive windows oriented toward the surrounding mountains.
La Tierra & Tano Road Today
Today, the area is particularly attractive to buyers seeking privacy, land, views and a more rural Santa Fe lifestyle. Properties can offer substantially more space than many neighborhoods closer to the historic center, while downtown remains only a short drive away. The area's combination of natural beauty, larger properties and proximity to open space makes it one of Santa Fe's most desirable settings for those looking to live close to nature.
