A Community Rooted in Place

The Heart behind the project

Modern Luxury Meets the Soul of Santa Fe

In the high desert just beyond Santa Fe, Tierra Antigua rises with aquiet confidence, a modern interpretation of the timeless forms that havedefined Northern New Mexico for centuries. Here, light and shadow shape everyline, and luxury takes on a more intentional meaning.

  • Rooted in place: A high-desert setting just beyond Santa Fe, where the land leads and the community follows.
  • Designed with intention: Modern forms shaped by Northern New Mexico’s heritage—defined by light, shadow, and quiet craft.
  • Preserved by nature: Open space, long horizons, and trails that invite you into the landscape, not away from it.

Tierra Antigua was envisioned for those who seek more than a home. It’sfor those who are drawn to Santa Fe’s spirit, its artistry, its rhythm, and itsreverence for the landscape, and who want to live within that experience everyday.

More than half of the forty-four-acre community is preserved as open space, honoring the land beneath it. Trails wind toward the horizon, carrying the scent of sage after summer rain and the kind of quiet you can feel settle in your bones. Mornings glow against the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Evenings sink into the colors of the earth itself.

Tierra Antigua is modern luxury shaped by nature and guided by Santa Fe’s soul, a rare opportunity to live in a place that feels both new and ancient. Crafted for those who understand that real beauty lives in the balance between design and desert, art and architecture, comfort and connection.

Tierra Antigua is for those who want more than a home—it’s for those who want a life that feels grounded. A place where mornings arrive slowly, evenings settle into the colors of the earth, and beauty is found in the balance between architecture and desert, comfort and connection.
