Historic Santa Fe Foundation has a long tradition to renting apartments to artists. Many artists have lived and been inspired by the historic setting in El Zaguán on Canyon Road in the heart of Santa Fe.

This one-bedroom artist apartment is filled with abundant historical style and a quirky, historic charm. It has vigas, wood floors, a kiva fireplace, and ample sunlight sunlight from windows that look onto the famed Canyon road. Two large rooms allow the tenant plenty of workable space for creating art. The bathroom has a clawfoot tub. The street-side bedroom looks out on Canyon Road and takes in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Finally, one cannot express the beauty of the grounds in full bloom with the historic garden established in the mid-1800s and the seperate and private lower orchard and fountain.

Live in a setting that includes a community of working artists and The Historic Santa Fe Foundation as a backdrop on Canyon Road. One-year lease with option to renew. Monthly rent is $1,550.00. First/last month’s rent and a $1,000.00 deposit required. Artist must pay electric. No pets and no smoking.
