New homes in Santa Fe—Shaped by the rhythm of the land
Thoughtfully planned

With the land guiding the plan, Esencia brings parks, trails, and authentic Santa Fe design together—featuring shaded ramadas, sitting areas, pollinator gardens, and native habitat areas—preserving 50% of the community as open space to honor the landscape.
