A better way to live,
by design.

With 141 acres of open space, Esencia boasts a sense of spaciousness, breathability, and a close connection to its surroundings. Half of the community will remain undeveloped, allowing native grasses, wildlife corridors, and mountain views to stretch across the land without interruption. Goat herders nurture and maintain native grasses. This open space supports the trail network, protects the natural terrain, and ensures the landscape guides the experience of living here.

Esencia’s trail system follows the contours of the land, creating pathways through parks, shaded viewpoints, and the high plains. These trails connect seamlessly to the main public trail beyond the community, giving residents access to regional routes that lead deeper into Santa Fe’s remarkable natural beauty.

Parks throughout Esencia are designed as natural gathering places that welcome people of all ages and abilities while maintaining the landscape’s character. The main park sits at the heart of the community with ramadas, shaded seating, and a playground crafted from natural materials. Here, families can gather in spaces where little ones can run, explore, and laugh while parents unwind in the fresh air. Areas for gentle balance training and low-impact movement support older residents, and accessible paths ensure everyone can enjoy time outdoors with comfort and ease. A scenic overlook offers sweeping mountain vistas and a quiet sense of connection to the land, creating moments of reflection for residents year-round.
