Description

Three Feathers is the kind of property that reminds people why they came to Taos in the first place. Hidden among piñon and juniper trees on nearly three private acres off Camino Perdido, this remarkable adobe retreat offers the privacy, craftsmanship, and mountain views that draw so many people to Northern New Mexico. From the upper deck, the views stretch across the Rio Grande Gorge to distant peaks. From the gardens and courtyard, Taos Mountain remains a constant presence. The location offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience, with easy access to Taos while providing one of the most direct routes to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Built with double-thick adobe walls and lovingly stewarded for more than twenty years, the home combines the soul of a traditional hacienda with the infrastructure and comfort expected for modern living. Hand-carved woodwork, vigas, earth floors, copper details, santos, nichos, six kiva fireplaces, and a dramatic cedar spiral staircase create spaces that feel authentic, collected, and deeply connected to place. The grand living room is anchored by soaring ceilings, walls of windows, heated brick floors, and a lofted office retreat tucked away upstairs. The dining room is equally memorable, with beautiful natural light and room to gather. At the center of the home is a kitchen designed for people who genuinely enjoy cooking, featuring a classic Aga range, generous pantry, custom cabinetry, and thoughtful workspace. Outside, stone pathways connect gardens, terraces, portals, and quiet sitting areas that invite lingering. Mature landscaping, flowers, wildflowers, garden beds, and thoughtfully designed outdoor rooms create beauty throughout the seasons. The custom feather gates at the entrance offer a fitting introduction to a property where artistry and craftsmanship appear around every corner. The detached studio has a personality all its own. Filled with natural light and generous proportions, it offers the kind of space that is increasingly difficult to find—room to create, work, build, host guests, or simply spread out. With approximately 1,200 square feet, soaring ceilings, a wood stove, covered portal, half bath, and flexible infrastructure, it is every bit as thoughtfully crafted as the main residence. One of the property's most forward-thinking features is its sophisticated rainwater harvesting system, providing approximately 12,000 gallons of storage along with filtration and purification systems designed for long-term water security in the high desert. The result is naturally soft water throughout the home and independence from the uncertainty that can accompany private wells. Over the years, the owners have invested extensively in the property, including roofing and drainage improvements, insulation upgrades, radon mitigation, expanded septic capacity, on-demand hot water, security systems, irrigation, and countless custom enhancements. Many of these improvements are things visitors never notice, which is often the best kind of improvement. Three Feathers is a place meant to be discovered. The craftsmanship, the gardens, the views, and the quiet details reveal themselves gradually. Visitors often find themselves lingering a little longer here. Some homes make an impression the moment you arrive. Three Feathers stays with you long after you leave.
