A pandemic-driven real estate market has found a buyer for fashion designer Tom Ford’s 20,662-acre Cerro Pelon Ranch near Galisteo, which had been for sale since 2016.
Top-priced Santa Fe real estate pops up a couple times a year. The 3,250-acre Saddleback Ranch, also in Galisteo, closed on Friday on a $8.5 million sale to an undisclosed buyer, who excluded 648 acres from the purchase. The ranch last sold in 2008 for $17.45 million, according to Platinum Luxury Auctions.
In 2019, the 11-acre Casa Alegre residential estate in the foothills north of downtown sold for more than $6.1 million. The sale came minutes before an auction; the property was considered the highest-priced home sale in Santa Fe County in the previous two years and the seventh-highest home sale since January 2000, according to Platinum Luxury Auctions.
A seven-bedroom, 12-bath property on 36 acres at 5200 Old Santa Fe Trail near Zia Road sold in June for $7 million. It was considered one of Santa Fe’s top four highest homes sales in the 21s century, according to the Santa Fe Association of Realtors.
