About 117 La Ventana

Designed by noted architect John Klee, this 4,300-square-foot 4 bedroom residence embodies the clean lines and luminous spaces of late-century modern design. The home rests gracefully within the contours of Arroyo Hondo Vistas, opening to generous portals and patios that frame sweeping mountain and high-desert views. A landscaped approach sets the tone—mature trees, natural stone, and a low-profile stucco and rock façade emerges as the home comes into sight. Tucked into the terrain, a series of descending steps leads to the front entry. Inside, an expansive great room unfolds beneath high ceilings, where slate floors, a fireplace, and a full wall of custom shelving anchor the space. Huge glass doors and windows dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a luminous, seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The grand kitchen features generous granite surfaces, a breakfast bar, and excellent flow for both cooking and entertaining. Nearby, the formal dining area offers the first view of one of the home’s most distinctive architectural elements: a conservatory crowned by a softly arched, translucent ceiling. The expansive owner’s suite includes a sitting area, a walk-in closet, large fireplace, and a well-appointed bath with free-standing tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. Returning to the main living area, a gently sweeping hallway leads to a wing with two bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, a guest bathroom, and a flexible room that can be used as an office, studio, or exercise room. Nearly every room features large windows and/or patio doors opening to the expansive, view-rich outdoor spaces, creating a lifestyle centered on indoor-outdoor living and quiet retreat. Numerous skylights illuminate the interior throughout. Other features include central air conditioning, forced-air heating, and a gated entry. Some rooms have been digitally staged.
