Santa Fe House | The Rass Mandal Residence: A Unique Oasis for Families, Reunions & Getaways

6 Bedroom House in Santa Fe

STR Permit #: 25-6009
Rass Mandal is the most unique adobe vacation residence in Santa Fe. It is 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 20 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. You may find a video of the home here: www.rassmandal1.com/home/
Upon entering the home you encounter a large domed circular living room (Mandala Room) complete with a gas-fired 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 wood-burning fireplace and a very comfortable breakfast nook ideal for bird watching. Behind the kitchen is a King size bedroom and a bathroom, secluded from the rest of the house.
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 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. Although the house is not air conditioned, there are ceiling fans in every bedroom. However, given the cool evenings AC it is not actually necessary.
Heading outside, there is a large private pool, jacuzzi style 5 person hot tub, plunge pool and sauna. The pool (40,000 gallons) is heated from May 15th to September 30th and generally the pool water temperature will be maintained at approximately 78 - 85 F throughout the heated season. We have invested in renewable Solar Technology for heating the home and the pool thus keeping our environmental footprint to a minimum. As the pool is heated with solar, it is continually heated however with the cool nights the range mentioned is what should be expected. The hot tub is kept at 104 F all year-round. Please note that the pool & hot tub require some servicing every week and we will be as unobtrusive as possible. 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. Burn restrictions imposed by Santa Fe County may sometimes restrict its use.
Although we do permit a small dog (under 20 pounds), I expect that you will be responsible. A dog should not be left outside unattended due to wildlife danger and the pool. The property is not fenced. If you are considering bringing a pet, you should discuss this with me beforehand.
Ski Santa Fe is 30 minutes from the center of Santa Fe, just add ten minutes to that to get there from Rass Mandal.
Rass Mandal was featured on HGTV's House Hunter's on Vacation with the initial airing on June 22nd 2012 and on Thrillist in March 2019.
VERY IMPORTANT: I must reiterate that Rass Mandal accommodates a maximum of 10 people given the above bedroom configuration and we do not permit any more than that number without prior agreement from me (Richard). This limit also applies to 'guests' even visiting for just the day and not residing at Rass Mandal. Should you be planning on inviting a few guests to visit, please discuss it with me before you book Rass Mandal.
We are honored to receive requests to host weddings and other very special events at Rass Mandal but unfortunately we do not permit events of greater than ten people. The limitation for the number of people residing at or visiting Rass Mandal is 10 without prior agreement .
Rass Mandal provides a truly unique experience in Santa Fe. It's incredible architecture, shapes, and spaces transport one to ancient India yet with all the modern conveniences in an amazingly beautiful location high in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains above the city with spectacular views. While only minutes to the historic Plaza, all the downtown cultural amenities and many fine restaurants, Rass Mandal is a quiet and peaceful retreat not to be missed. I encourage you to read the reviews from our previous guests.

Summary: Rass Mandal was wonderful! The property was exactly as described. A unique place that had a wonderful atmosphere. It was very comfortable and had so many amenities. Richard also thought of everything. I've never stayed at a place where the kitchen was so well stocked! The printed guides that he had waiting for us were also so helpful. The grounds are beautiful. The sound of the wind chimes as the breeze blew through was so relaxing. I would enthusiastically stay at Rass Mandal again the next time I am in Santa Fe. I and my family had a wonderful time.
