2024-09-20T12:10:00-04:00

The personal vacation retreat that the late Myron Goldfinger designed for himself in New Mexico in 1996 is now for sale for $1.69 million from Sotheby’s International Realty near Santa Fe. The property sits on 29 acres in Santa Fe’s Los Caminitos subdivision with 2,100 square feet and a one-bedroom/two-bath mix in an open floor plan. Goldfinger’s design reflects the "intuitive" sensibilities endemic to local Southwestern art-making traditions that he found upon relocating to the area later in life. Goldfinger died last July 20th at the age of 90 after earning acclaim through his many private residential designs in the New York City suburbs.

Back in the early ‘60s, the National Park Service had a program dubbed Mission 66, dedicated to bringing modern facilities to the national parks. One of the earliest examples of this, the Painted Desert Community Complex designed by Richard Neutra and Robert Alexander, has just been restored in a joint effort between the Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

A 22-acre self-contained park community, the Complex is the last surviving Neutral-Designed structure in the Park Service system. It’s design was inspired by Puebloan Native American buildings as well as the dramatic landscape of its site, the Petrified Forest National Park.
