Property Description

Creative Sanctuary with Expansive Mountain Views in Taos Welcome to a rare and inspired live/work compound—a one-of-a-kind adobe sanctuary nestled on a quiet dead-end road with panoramic views of the Taos Mountains. Designed by renowned artist couple Joaquin Karcher and Agnes Chavez, this soulful property blends artful living with sustainability, privacy, and creative flexibility. At the heart of the property lies a 2BD/1BA double-wall adobe home, constructed with core-insulated walls and natural mud plaster for unmatched thermal performance and indoor air quality. Solar-heated radiant floors and solar domestic hot water (with backup systems) provide year-round comfort. The open floor plan, gourmet kitchen, and abundant natural light connect seamlessly to the walled courtyard, where a rock fountain sets a meditative tone for outdoor gatherings, quiet reflection, or garden serenity. Step into the glass house—a luminous architectural jewel that frames the ever-changing Taos sky. Ideal for yoga, writing, or stargazing, it has even drawn the attention of PrAna Yoga Apparel as a setting for their catalog shoot. Across the landscaped courtyard, a modern studio building offers two 510 sq ft ateliers with 10-ft ceilings, polished concrete floors, and adjustable track lighting. A sculptural zig-zag wall divides the space, while a kitchenette and full bath support extended creative sessions or private guest stays. Eco-conscious features run throughout: roof water harvesting systems feed two 6,000-gallon underground cisterns, irrigating the lush courtyard gardens and minimizing the environmental footprint. Surrounded by sagebrush and silence, yet just 10 minutes from Taos’s rich culture and cuisine and 20 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, this property is perfect for creatives, remote professionals, or anyone seeking an elevated lifestyle. This is not just a home—it’s a living, breathing work of art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Bba6q_VZ4
