Description

MODERN ZERO E HOME | TAOS MOUNTAIN VIEWS | EXCEPTIONAL EFFICIENCY & VERSATILE LIVING A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed, ultra-energy-efficient modern home with remarkable flexibility in a peaceful El Prado setting. Situated on approximately 0.92 acres along a quiet road with unobstructed views of Taos Mountain, this distinctive property combines contemporary architecture, exceptional comfort, and extraordinarily low operating costs. With 1,985 SQ.FT. OF COMBINED BUILDING AREA, the property features a beautifully designed 1,270 sq. ft. main residence with two bedrooms, a sun-filled glass house, and an attached 715 sq. ft. multi- room annex with a studio, atrium, bathroom, and flexible spaces for working, creating, hobbies, or accommodating guests and family. The property offers three bathrooms in total, one with a bathtub and two with showers. Two exterior storage containers provide approximately 320 sq. ft. of additional storage. Designed according to Passive House principles, the home combines a super- insulated, airtight building envelope, high-performance triple-pane windows, and continuous filtered fresh-air ventilation to create exceptional year-round comfort. Enjoy remarkably even indoor temperatures, excellent indoor air quality, and a peaceful, quiet interior. Effortless living by design. Everything about this home is intended to make everyday life simple and convenient. Its highly efficient building envelope and thoughtfully integrated systems work quietly in the background, maintaining comfort with minimal attention or adjustment. No complicated heating routines, no constant monitoring, and far less concern about freezing temperatures during cold Taos winters. Everything is close at hand, easy to use, and designed to give you more time to enjoy your home rather than manage it. It's a home that asks remarkably little of its occupants. The main house has averaged just $58 per month for its total electric utility bill, including heating, cooling, hot water, cooking, lighting, appliances, everyday household electricity use and includes charging an electric car. This exceptional energy performance demonstrates the benefits of a home designed to need dramatically less energy in the first place. The all-electric home features efficient Mitsubishi heat-pump heating and cooling, induction cooking, on-demand electric water heating, a Miele ventless dryer, and a 3.25 kW rooftop solar photovoltaic system with net metering. An EV charging station is already installed. No fossil-fuel combustion is needed in the home. Perhaps the property's greatest attraction, beyond its comfort and style is its versatility. Ideal for remote professionals, or anyone seeking additional space for changing lifestyles, the attached annex allows work and private life to coexist while maintaining separation. The sun-filled glass house and atrium bring nature indoors, creating inviting spaces to relax, grow plants, or enjoy the changing seasons. Modern architecture, exceptional comfort, remarkably low operating costs, flexible living and working spaces, and spectacular mountain views come together in a property designed for a more sustainable way of life. MORE THAN A HOME, IT'S A PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, AND CREATE.
