Description
Set on 9 private acres just outside Carson, this thoughtfully crafted 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare balance of independence, comfort, and enduring quality—just 35 minutes from Taos. Built in 2013 with an emphasis on efficiency and longevity, the home pairs rammed earth and straw bale construction along the north wall with expansive south-facing windows that invite in natural light and passive solar warmth. The result is a space that feels grounded, quiet, and consistently comfortable year-round. The 1,500-square-foot interior is open and sun-filled, with a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen. Scandinavian-inspired solid wood cabinetry brings a clean, understated warmth, while French doors open to a beautifully crafted flagstone patio—an easy extension of daily living. Fully off-grid, the property is powered by a well-designed photovoltaic solar system with battery storage housed in a dedicated insulated room, offering reliable, modern functionality without compromise. A short walk along a gravel path leads to a separate sauna pavilion, where a wood-burning barrel sauna frames mountain views through a round picture window—an experience as much as an amenity. Gated access, wide-open skies, and a true sense of quiet define the setting. This is a home built with intention—where craftsmanship, efficiency, and a connection to the landscape come together in a way that’s increasingly hard to find.
