The all-white house is easy to miss if you don't pay much attention.

One of the listing agents told Insider that the home is covered in foam and looks like a cloud. There is a listing with a colleague of hers.

The late owner of a Santa Fe jewelry store named The Golden Eye built Casa de Roca on top of a hill.

The current owner of the house told Insider that she and her husband purchased the property in November of last year.

The fact that homes are original is a positive aspect. She said that they do not subscribe to cookie-cutter homes.

Most people can't see the home because of the glare from the windows.

It is a perfect place to hide. Only the wind can find you.

The location was the most important factor in the deal.

The owner said they fell in love with the home's privacy, nature, and dark star-filled skies after viewing it. It's close to world-class amenities in Santa Fe.

Santa Fe has a median listing home price of over one million dollars. There are 15 single family homes for sale in the area, each with a price range from $590,000 to $1.99 million. Casa de Roca is in the middle of the range.

The inside of the home is not like a cave. The rooms are large.

"I was expecting it to be cave-like and dark, but it was the other way around," he said.

Arched doorways and high ceilings help create depth.

The original builder was a well known jeweler. The owner said that the home was like a carving from the inside out. The beautifully finished interior is explained by this.

The new fixtures blend in with the original design despite some maintenance work being done to upgrade the interiors.

When my clients bought the home, there was a lot of deferred maintenance.

She said that the current owners rebuilt all three fireplaces in order to make the home more comfortable.

The terrace has a view of the arroyo and a creek that fills with water depending on the season.
