Perched at the iconic corner of NM 230 and Rim Road, in the heart of Arroyo Seco/Des Montes, this 4,600 sq. ft. hacienda isn’t just a home — it’s a full-on Taos experience. Spread across 2.4 irrigated acres, this two-story adobe + frame stunner serves up 360° jaw-dropping views that will leave your friends speechless. The Views: North:The wild Valdez valley and rugged Lobo Peak. East:Taos Mountain, El Salto, and Vallecitos glowing in the sunrise. South:The dreamy blues of the Picuris and Truchas peaks. West: El Pedernal and the Jemez, all fiery sunsets and Georgia O’Keeffe moods. Inside the vibe is earthy elegance: mud-plastered walls, cool tile floors, and portals + decks that frame nature like living artwork. The Flow: Enter through a landscaped courtyard with twin ponds, then into a living room built for mountain gazing. A dining space flows into the chef’s kitchen with a granite-clad island — built for family celebrations and Sunday brunches. The expansive guest wing sports 3 large bedrooms + 2 full baths, branching off the first-floor family room that is big enough for a pool table, a piano, and movie marathons. Upstairs: A lounge/drawing room with its own east-facing deck and portal — imagine sunrise with coffee. The Primary Suite: Hand-carved doors lead to a dressing room with 3 walk-in closets (yes, 3). From there, the private suite spills onto a west-facing deck perfect for golden-hour wine. The spa-style bath boasts both a jetted tub and a shower with wraparound mountain views. Outdoor Magic: A flagstone patio shaded by mature trees sets the stage for al fresco gatherings, while a no-build zone protects your westward views forever. Fruit trees, irrigation from the Des Montes ditch, and room to grow (hello, guest casita or studio or garage with apartment) complete the dream. If you love the Arroyo Seco / Des Montes lifestyle — wild beauty, creative spirit, and endless skies — this is your crown jewel.
