The final property on this list may be the grandest. Ideal for any retreat, the Rass Mandal Residence is a unique property whose designers are fittingly fearless. Drawing from a potent mélange of Arabic, Asian, and southwestern influences, they have created the grand property now available to VRBO users.
The building sits on 20 acres of hilly desert forest about 10 miles southeast of Santa Fe Plaza. Each room has views of the magnificent countryside. It needs to be seen to be believed but, from the Shanghai bedroom to the marvelous pool, we dare say that the pictures do it some measure of justice.
