Elegant retreat with Guest Quarters on a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac just a five minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Taos plaza and Kit Carson Park, 310 Ortiz Lane is a stunning, versatile property, blending traditional charm with modern comforts – as a primary home, ski lodge, art studio, retirement haven and family getaway. With well over 4,000 square feet of living space across a main house, a lock-off “second home” – the original house – and a separate guest casita – also perfect for a studio/workshop – this unique home offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or live-work needs. MAIN RESIDENCE (Approx. 3,600 SF) Step into a warm, adobe-toned interior great room featuring high ceilings, custom woodwork, arched doorways, and classic Southwest design details throughout. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly, anchored by a cozy double fireplace, built-in shelving, wood floors, and Saltillo tile. To the side, a wide, fan-cooled patio opens onto a flowered adobe-walled Eden shaded by a glorious towering Siberian elm – visible and accessible from the great room interior. The recently added gourmet kitchen is a cook’s (and host’s) dream – with custom cabinetry, a spacious island with bar-stool seating, ample storage– including a separate multi-shelved pantry room and a coveted AGA stove. Large windows invite morning light and offer garden views. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private sitting area, walk-in closet, fully remodelled bath with tub and walk-in shower, plus an adjacent office, bedroom or bonus space. The LOCK-OFF IN-LAW DWELLING remains connected to the main home—but has its own private entrance and patio. It features a second kitchen, full bath, open-concept living and dining areas, fireplace, one bedroom with French doors leading to a covered patio and wall fountain. This space offers an ideal setup for extended family, guests, or even rental use. CASITA (Approx. 400 SF) across the front courtyard is a charming detached guest suite with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, built-in shelving, and a ¾ bath—also perfect as an art studio, short-term rental, or private retreat. And a 100-square-foot workshop has its own separate entrance.
