THE PERFECT MARRIAGE. Earthy yet elegant, old yet new, and private yet not remote, this incredible property provides a haven that deftly combines form and function with the beauty of Nature. A carefully selected 11 ac. ridge top site in gated Turley Mill with the Sangre de Cristo mountains as a backdrop provides privacy and quiet and unobstructed views in every direction. The compound consists of a custom 4,850 sq. ft pueblo style hacienda, a 1,500 sq. ft 2BR/2BA guesthouse, a 970 sq. ft. chapel/studio, and an oversized garage for your classic cars. A walled entrance opens to the welcoming front courtyard and leads to the hand crafted grand double doors taking you inside the home. From the foyer your eyes are drawn to the dramatic living room with a 12’ window framing Taos Mountain and further enhanced by 15’ ceilings and a stone fireplace. A myriad of wall space is fantastic for your art collection. The builder incorporated many reclaimed materials to achieve the “old” feel and patina of traditional adobe homes. The wood floors throughout are from an 1870’s schoolhouse and other architectural details are antiques. You’ll find handcrafted wrought iron in handrails, light fixtures and railing. The “new” is most evident in the huge chef’s kitchen with its new Subzero refrigerator, 6 burner DCS range and grill, double ovens, a professional built in wok, plenty of custom cabinets, and granite countertops. Again, large windows bring the outdoors in and a large walnut countertop graces the island providing seating and the warmth of wood. The fireplace is another bonus. A lovely pantry with wet bar is tucked between kitchen and the formidable formal dining room lined with bookshelves and accented with a custom iron chandelier and unique sconces. The downstairs master suite boasts a kiva FP, private patio, and bath w/ walk-in. Out the door is a path to the hot tub. Follow the curved staircase upstairs to find a hallway/gallery leading to the elegant study w/ lots of built-ins and more drop-dead views. The yoga/dance studio even has a private balcony. The upstairs master suite is made sweeter by yet another balcony, a kiva FP to add a touch of romance. The lovely guesthouse has its own entrance and can be accessed from the house by the gorgeous portal w/ a sculptured fireplace and bancos – again the hacienda feel is captured. The guesthouse features a great room w/ kiva FP, vigas, an open, bright kitchen, 2BR/2BA, and laundry. Perhaps the most intriguing structure is the chapel created to mimic the traditional charming churches that dot Northern NM. The lofty, trussed ceiling soars and provides a feeling of space and freedom allowing one’s creative juices to flow. It’s also a versatile space that can accommodate the guest overflow w/ 2 pocket beds, a kitchenette area, & 1/2BA. Again, a stunning window to capture the views. Throughout the property an abundance of patios provides an abundance of separate spaces to take in the awe-inspiring views, to have a siesta, or just enjoy the solitude. Besides the attached 2 car oversized garage, there’s a separate garage large enough for your vintage cars plus outdoor toys & equipment. Love the great outdoors? Take your mountain bike, ATV, cross country skis, snowshoes, or your horse up the road and hit the USFS road that goes for miles and miles. Love the comforts of home? This property allows one to experience the beauty of Nature from most any room but take it outside to the bocci ball court for the best view ever. Garden? There’s a greenhouse w/ watering system. A latilla fence hides the solar panels which supplement hot water heat for the subfloor radiant heating system in the main house and guesthouse for more energy efficiency. Turley Mill is an upscale, gated community with 10 ac. minimums, so you have neighbors but not too close and you’re close to Arroyo Seco, world class Taos Ski Valley, and 25 min. to the heart of Taos. Let the honeymoon begin??

TERRA NOVA - A property like no other. Set in a 3.30 ac. oasis among rolling hills of sagebrush with dramatic mountain views, Terra Nova was designed as a compound, or mini-eco village by renowned architect Ekkehard Weisner to fulfill the owner’s vision of a sanctuary for healing body and spirit. Upon entering through the gate, one finds themselves transported to another, more peaceful world with native plants, gardens, and trees nestling the structures. An intricate brick path leads the way through the vine covered trellis to the fountain and stunning courtyard which itself is a work of art. Situated around the courtyard are three separate structures, three little gems. The original 1BR/1BA Hexagon (1,140 sq.ft), the 2BR adobe (1,012 sq. ft.) and the office/studio (512 sq.ft.) all finished with enviable attention to detail and quality and all combining the elements of nature. The owner, Dr. Angelika Koch, lovingly selected and adorned the homes with custom finishes like Venetian plaster, stone mandalas, special hardware, handmade doors and cabinets, Indonesian pebbles, and stained glass. Other names like Sub-Zero, Dacor, Jenn-Air, Marvin, and Morso speak to quality. More importantly, the compound boasts eco-friendly and people friendly aspects like solar power (3 systems) , well water ( a new well) with the incredible Grander Technology filtering system, water catchment, and drip irrigation. The homes also feature subfloor radiant heat, grid-tie-interface, and broadband. Other creature comforts are the oversized 2 car garage and hot tub. A rich history also comes with the property. Lore has it that it was a sacred spot for Indians 1,000 years ago and arrowheads and chards are still found on the property. Then in the 80’s, the hexagon was purposely built for the ‘channeling of the voice of Bartholomew” because of its spiritual energy field of the land. The structure has also served the Tibetan community of Taos with gatherings and Native American writers and teachers held sweat lodges, ceremonies, drumming and healing there. The current owner has continued in this tradition with her Practice for Integrated and Educational Medicine. Now it’s time for a new owner to enjoy the connection to Mother Nature and the inspiration it brings from this incredible property
