Project Overview
Set within a 640-acre valley at 7,200 feet in the Sandia Mountains, the Troya House is a true desert sanctuary — a Tuscan-inspired estate that marries old-world craftsmanship with modern independence. Every element of this 6,500-square-foot ranch home was designed to reflect timeless beauty, natural materials, and a deep respect for the surrounding landscape.
Design & Features
Centered around a 20′ x 20′ open-air courtyard, the home radiates warmth, texture, and light. A polished, stained concrete floor flows throughout, grounding the design in natural simplicity, while reclaimed materials and intricate detailing bring authenticity to every space.

- Chef-inspired kitchen with dual oversized islands
- Wine cellar featuring barrel-stave flooring
- 20′ x 30′ master closet with a dedicated shoe room for 200+ pairs

- Zoned heat pump system and 20kW backup generator for full energy security
The Result
The Troya House stands as a self-sufficient mountain retreat, combining luxury, resilience, and artistry. With its private water source, underground propane storage, and backup power, the home delivers true independence — without sacrificing comfort or elegance. It remains a stunning reflection of regional architecture and the craftsmanship that defines Quinn Custom Homes.
