About 8 Paseo De Aguila
A remarkable fusion of Japanese-inspired design and timeless Santa Fe style, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence was designed by Tony Reynolds and constructed of adobe and energy-efficient Rastra block. From its Kyoto temple-inspired front door, crafted from ash and redwood with carved panels and iron studs, the home reveals exceptional craftsmanship, calm proportions, and a deep connection to its surroundings.
Inside, Japanese shoji-inspired grid patterns, hand-finished plaster, and extraordinary woodwork create a warm, serene atmosphere. The dramatic living room features soaring ceilings with traditional mortise-and-tenon beams and a stacked-stone fireplace rising more than 15 feet. Cherrywood wall panels divided by dark-stained West African obeche continue the grid motif, while motorized clerestory windows bring in natural light. Sandstone flooring flows from the main living areas onto the patios, connecting the interior with the landscape.
The kitchen features maple-and-cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a freestanding island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Viking range and oven. The spacious primary suite includes bamboo flooring, a kiva fireplace, and a handcrafted closet with cherry and obeche shelving, drawers, and cubbies. Two additional bedrooms have bamboo floors and share a travertine bathroom with a steam shower.
Rosewood stairs lead to more than 1,300 square feet of additional living space with a media room, guest quarters, full bath finished in golden travertine, laundry room, and excellent storage. Windows, a private walkout entrance, and separation from the main living areas make this level ideal for guests, extended stays, a workspace, or potential rental use.
Outside, gorgeous gardens, a stone fountain, covered patios, intimate sitting areas, and generous entertaining spaces offer breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains—a peaceful and private setting for this one-of-a-kind home.
