Description

Snow on the mountains, rainbows across the sky, and beautiful views that never get old. There is something truly special about this home, and you feel it the moment you arrive. Tucked into nearly an acre of irrigated pastureland just outside the charming village of Arroyo Seco, this quality-built adobe home is a wonderful reflection of what makes Northern New Mexico living so special. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, it is a home that has been genuinely loved and thoughtfully cared for close to 25 years. You can feel that history in the details and in the way the home welcomes you in. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and two baths, beautiful Saltillo tile floors, traditional vigas, custom lintels over the doorways, and oversized picture windows that bring the spectacular mountain views right into your living space. The corner fireplace adds that unmistakable Taos charm, while the wood-burning stove brings warmth and comfort to the living and dining areas. Whether it's a snowy winter morning or a summer evening with a rainbow stretching across the mountains, the views are always part of the experience. Originally 1,604 square feet, the home was thoughtfully expanded with an additional art studio featuring its own entrance, closet, and beautiful mountain views. It is an inspiring space for creative pursuits, a private office, guest space, or an additional bedroom. Practical comforts are here, too. Solar panels help keep electricity costs remarkably low, with the current owner paying approximately $25 per month for electricity. In-floor radiant heat keeps those Saltillo tile floors toasty in the winter. Outside, the setting is every bit as inviting as the home itself as it sits on valley land with surface water irrigation. Evergreen and deciduous trees frame the approach, while lilacs, established planting beds, and mature trees create a sense of privacy and belonging. A covered front portal welcomes you home, and the rear patio offers another wonderful place to sit, slow down, and take in the mountains. Set on .97 acres, there is room to garden, enjoy the outdoors, and simply appreciate the beauty of this special place. And then there's the location. Just five minutes from Arroyo Seco, you'll enjoy the village's wonderful mix of local restaurants, galleries, yoga, music, groceries, and community spirit. Stop at ACEQ for a memorable dinner, Sol Food for breakfast or lunch, or Taos Cow for a treat or something delicious to take along to the river. Taos Ski Valley is approximately 20 minutes away, and the historic Town of Taos, with its museums, galleries, restaurants, Farmers Market, music, shopping, and iconic Plaza, is also just 20 minutes away. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a quality-built adobe home in the desirable Des Montes neighborhood and enjoy the beauty, character, and lifestyle that make this part of Taos so special. More than just a house, this is a home with a history, a sense of place, and a feeling of warmth that is increasingly hard to find. It is ready for its next owner to love, enjoy, and continue the stewardship of this very special property. Come for the views. Stay for the feeling of home.
