Santa Fe Vacation Rental house

Santa Fe Weather: Santa Fe is at 7,000 feet elevation above sea level which makes for 30 degree or more temperature swings between day and night. The summer temperature is in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. A hot day is 92 and will occur early in July. The monsoons start in July and can go till September. These violent rain and lightning storms can dump up to an inch of rain in 20 minutes. Like Hawaii, these storms pass quickly. These concentrated storms are sometimes only 1/2 mile in diameter. The clouds, rain, and lightning can be watched from the house as they traverse the area up to 30 miles away. The wind speed on our ridgetop is almost always a minimum of 5 miles an hour. This makes the house self-cooling just by opening windows. Supplementary mechanical cooling is available for the late afternoons.

About the property: Outdoor spaces include a winding driveway with outdoor parking and panoramic views of Santa Fe and the Sangre de Cristo, Ortiz, Sandia and Jemez Mountains (aircraft landing lights from the Santa Fe airport, or in the far distance, the Albuquerque Sunport, can be seen at night). Extensive landscaping and mature plantings provide a rich contrast of foliage and colors. Also located on the property are a physically separate casita which houses the owner's offices which is used weekdays by one person. The office has fax, copying, and printing equipment.

Rafting: Rafting on the Rio Grande this spring should be the best in 25 years.

Other Activities: Five world class museums, 200 restaurants, 100+ galleries, Taos, pueblos, Indian dances, casinos, golf, river rafting, fly fishing, concerts, opera
