Description

The charm of Old Taos can be yours at Half Moon Retreat, hand crafted and built by artisans Sandy Seth and Kristina Wilson, this is a true adobe with detailed craftsmanship seldom found today. Nestled amidst hundreds of acres of Pueblo land immediately to the south, facing the Picuris Mountains, and a conservation easement to the north, facing Taos Mountain, your panoramic view will never change. Positioned on a quiet, well-maintained road just ten minutes from town and twenty minutes from the Ski Valley, you will rarely hear more than a coyote howl in the nearby arroyo, and with no streetlamps, a dark sky provides splendid stargazing from the hot tub or one of many cozy outdoor spots. Inside, you’ll be immersed in a private world that incorporates modern amenities like an enviable chef’s kitchen to entertain your friends and family. Off the kitchen is a half bath for convenience while entertaining. This powder room and other baths have Talavera tiles from the original construction. Feast your eyes on all the historic and traditional construction details throughout including peeled aspen latilla ceilings, some in a herringbone pattern, vigas throughout, and multiple hand carved corbel archways. There are four hand-built kivas and twelve-inch-wide pine floors on the upper level to add additional ambiance and charm. On the lower level and in the attached guest suite, brick floors are laid in herringbone and basketweave patterns. The lower level, down a winding staircase, reveals the sanctuary of the primary bedroom and its spa-like bath with double sinks, walk in shower, and jetted tub. Next to the primary suite is an office that has French doors leading out to the sunken garden, where birds and bees find sustenance among the native plantings. A shady patio under the balcony provides the perfect spot to enjoy all this sublime nature while sipping a beverage, reading, listening to music, or staring at the clouds while listening to the relaxing sounds of the fountain. Attached to the house, but with a separate entrance, is the guest bedroom with ensuite bath having the same attention to construction details as the main house: vigas, latilla ceiling, brick floors, a corner kiva. Across a breezeway with a latilla canopy, you will find a large two-car garage and a casita. The casita has a saltillo tile floor, huge vigas and unobstructed mountain views from both sides. The hot tub can also be directly accessed from the main house. The casita has been used previously as an artist’s studio, a workout room, and most recently, is set up as a short-term rental which includes a simple kitchenette. The other areas of the home have also provided income through short and mid-term rentals. If you want a home with the sought-after Taos customized details of what one wants in a home here, then this is the one for you! Without a doubt! This listing also has an incredible exterior drone video and interior video tour for you to check out.
