Located on seven gated acres with three secure entries, the estate celebrates its New Mexico setting with views of four mountain ranges, high-desert landscaping, an expansive sculpture garden and luxury interior appointments

New York, New York (January 14, 2021) — Sage Hill, a seven-acre Santa Fe compound, is an oasis of privacy where a multitude of best-selling novels have been written or edited by world-renowned authors Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. Located on the top of a ridge in the city’s luxury enclave of Sierra del Norte, Sage Hill is minutes from town, with its five-star dining and a vibrant art scene, and also the Santa Fe Ski Basin, hiking and mountain biking. Two homes with separate guest houses offer a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 full baths.

Mr. Kellerman is best known for his 40-plus thrillers featuring Alex Delaware, a forensic psychologist advising Detective Milo Sturgis of the Los Angeles Police Department in solving his grisliest cases. His first novel, “When the Bough Breaks,” won the Edgar Allan Poe Award, honoring the best in mystery fiction, and was made into a television movie starring Ted Danson.

Ms. Kellerman, his wife, created the couple Peter Decker, also a detective in the Los Angeles Police Department, and Rina Lazarus, a witness to a murder, in her first book, “The Ritual Bath.” A series of 22 books chronicles the couple’s evolving relationship within Orthodox Jewish traditions set against the backdrop of solving crimes.

Collectively, the Kellermans — who have collaborated together and with two of their four children — have sold an estimated 130 million books worldwide.

Their Sage Hill compound is represented by Judith Ivey of Barker Realty, the exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Highlights include:

• Three securely gated and adobe-walled contiguous view lots totaling seven acres on a prime, high ridge cul-de-sac street in Santa Fe’s luxury enclave of Sierra del Norte.
• Two residences, each with its own guest house and connected by winding flagstone paths.
• A three-bedroom, five bath main residence, and a second residence with five bedrooms and five baths.
• Soaring Southwestern vigas and latilla-graced ceilings ranging from 13 to 16 feet in height with the generous use of glass, framing breathtaking views of four mountain ranges, Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, Ortiz and Sandia Mountains. Distant nighttime city lights are in view as well as New Mexico’s starry night skies overhead.
• Custom kitchens, hand-rubbed diamond plaster walls, Arizona flagstone, hardwood flooring, a high-definition home theater, a home gym, a total of 10 fireplaces, and a mother-in-law suite.
• Two guest houses appointed with a living area, one bedroom and one bath.
• A 1.2-acre sculpture garden.
