Originally built in 1756 and remodeled in 1846, the Historic Borrego House combines classic adobe style with early Territorial style architecture.  In 1928, the Historic Borrego House was painstakingly and lovingly restored and, as a result, won the prestigious Cyrus McCormick Prize for best restoration of a residence during the preceeding two years.  Located at 724 Canyon Road, the Historic Borrego House lies in the heart of an historical Eastside district known to many as the "art and soul" of Santa Fe.  The importance of Canyon Road is known not only nationally, but internationally, and the Historic Borrego House remains one of the crown jewels.  Currently and since 1990, the tenant occupant is Geronimo, a world renowned restaurant rewarding all who experience the ambiance and elegance of this pristine Canyon Road oasis amongst Santa Fe's extraordinary fine art and craft galleries.

The property is located in a Residential Compound Zoning Area with Arts and Crafts Overlay (ACRC8) and consists of two separately deeded parcels of land.  The building sits on one lot, and a parking lot on the other.  They are separated by a driveway that leads to the adjacent property behind the building.  The Historic Borrego House is approximately 4,000 square feet and covers nearly all the lot on which it sits.  The second lot is approximately 6,000 square feet and currently accomodates 23 cars on a paved lot.  Though appropriate and necessary without alternative parking for the property to continue to operate as a restaurant, the long-term development opportunities on this second lot are among the last remaining on Canyon Road, making this property a truly unique and dynamic opportunity.

Today, property on Canyon Road enjoys a popularity and demand unparalleled in Santa Fe.  Few places offer the enduring allure that continues to attract high-end customers and residents.  The opportunity to own this world-class historic property, the Historic Borrego House, with its current prestigious occupant can be as rewarding as it is extraordinarily unique, and offers a once in a lifetime chance to capture the heart of Canyon Road.
