Description

Set in an iconic Ranchos de Taos neighborhood, this charming historic home - originally a Valerio residence - offers authentic Northern New Mexico adobe character, thoughtfully restored for contemporary comfort. Built in the traditional manner, the property carries the enduring craftsmanship, warmth, and architectural presence that define true Taos homes. The 1,553-square-foot, single-level main residence includes three bedrooms and two baths. Lovingly restored with custom features, it retains its original sense of place through hand-troweled diamond-finish plaster walls, twenty-inch-thick adobe walls, traditional nichos, viga ceilings, and wood-plank floors. A gas-log stove anchors the living room, creating a welcoming focal point for cool mountain evenings. Throughout, the home reflects authentic pueblo adobe architecture—timeless, tactile, and built to endure for generations. Fiber optic cable installation provides fast internet, making it perfect for remote work. The spacious kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops. Outside, a large hacienda-style portal provides a natural extension of the living space, with room for outdoor dining, gathering, and enjoying friends and family. Within the fully fenced property, established gardens offer apricot, plum, and Honeycrisp apple trees, along with gooseberries, herbs, berries, and flowering perennials. A 3-barrel rain-catchment system supports a more water-conscious landscape and adds to the property’s practical appeal. A separate 448-square-foot upstairs casita provides options for multi-generational living, a caretaker, or an artist studio. The casita includes one bedroom, one bath, a full kitchen, laundry facility, and a private deck ideal for enjoying the sun or stargazing. The property is served by town water, town sewer, and natural gas—an uncommon combination of historic adobe authenticity and convenient modern infrastructure. Located in the historic Ranchos de Taos community, this home enjoys the pastoral rhythm of a rural neighborhood shared by longtime families, artists, and the nearby 7K Film Center. The area carries a Traditional Historic Community (THC) designation, recognizing and helping protect the distinctive historic character of this treasured part of Taos County. Walk to the Ranchos Plaza Grill, Old Martina’s Hall, and Ranchos Plaza. Taos Plaza’s galleries, restaurants, shops, and cultural life are approximately 10 minutes away, while Taos Ski Valley is about a 35-minute drive.
