Rass Mandal - Exceptional residence on 10 acres with pool in Santa Fe

Rass Mandal is a unique adobe vacation residence situated on a mountain range of pine forests with spectacular views. Entering brings you to another time and presents a serene and inspiring atmosphere for all. The house and grounds of more than 10 acres offer abundant locations for quiet time. There are numerous hiking & mountain bike trails immediately accessible, some of which take you directly to the center of Santa Fe.

I put up a short clip of the show on YouTube (you can find it if you Google for Rass Mandal).

Additionally, you may enjoy visiting the Rass Mandal website for many more pictures.  Again, please Google for Rass Mandal.

Upon entering the home you encounter a large domed circular living room complete with a fireplace, eastern antique furniture and beautiful views looking out to a pool. This space is ideal for group sessions, gatherings and entertainment. Off to the left of the living room is the dining room and kitchen area. The dining table has room to accommodate 12 and is a great area for entertaining and formal meals. The kitchen is open plan and has a Moroccan style fireplace and a very comfortable breakfast nook ideal for bird watching. Behind the kitchen is a queen size bedroom and a bathroom, secluded from the rest of the house with its own private entrance.

To the right of the living room are guest quarters, each room offers views overlooking the grounds and the entire Santa Fe valley. The master bedroom is complete with a fireplace, a large meditation/work area, beautiful bathroom and sunken Jacuzzi with views. Additionally, there is a 2nd story observation deck that provides expansive views over all of Santa Fe, the Jemez Mountains and beyond. The house is not air conditioned but given the cool evenings it is not actually necessary. Fans are provided should they be desired.

Heading outside, there is a large private pool with waterfall, hot tub and sauna. The pool is now heated - however it is 35,000 gallons and I had to raise the summer rates to accommodate the extra costs for the fuel.  Generally the pool water temperature will be maintained at 76 F in July and August but ranges about 74 F for June and September.  The hot tub is kept at 104 F. All this is surrounded by a deck and patio ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation.  There is also a gas-fired Fire Pit for enjoyment during the cool evenings.

Hi, my name is Richard Woodruff and I am an American born in Jersey City, NJ and now living in Santa Fe after having spent the last 28 years living in Europe. You can find me on LinkedIn and on Facebook. We will meet at the house when I give you the tour upon your arrival.
