A piece of Taos History is waiting for its next chapter…. The Estate of Taos visionary Gene Sanchez, known for his contribution to Taos politics, art & architecture, offers an opportunity to shape the landscape of Taos’ future. This historic estate includes an approx 3700 sq ft, 4 bed/3 bath adobe main residence that is accompanied by two charming casitas that provide stunning views of Taos Mountain. Designed with artistic precision and attention to detail, the home features timeless traditional Southwest architecture with modern lifestyle comforts. Ahead of his time, Sanchez designed the home to have retreat style feel that includes 3 ensuite bedrooms. The spacious master suite includes a fireplace and a private patio with sought-after mountain views, while the fourth bedroom enjoys an adjacent private bath. The home showcases rich hardwood floor, dramatic hand-crafted Viga beamed ceilings, smooth plaster walls and a formal dining room and expansive living space. Large windows throughout, flood the home with natural light, framing the iconic New Mexico sunsets. Just off the flagstone patio is a cozy 500 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath casita complete with adobe fireplace. It’s an inviting space for friends, family or rental possibilities. At the back of the property of the 1.5 acre property sits the “Artist Studio”. This 1 bed/1 bath 1000 sq ft casita features an authentic adobe kiva fireplace. Its peaceful and private setting is a haven in the heart of Taos. While the home and casitas have been vacant for a bit of time, this property offers so much for the buyer with vision, similar to its architects, Gene and “Jules” Sanchez. Consisting of 3 lots, this gem of a property, represents an opportunity for additional development per R-4 zoning or an upside if sold separately. Possibilities to be explored and verified with Town of Taos Planning Department. We invite you to view the many amenities that this estate has to offer in our upcoming feature presentation.
