Property Description

Once in a lifetime, an extraordinary Live/Work opportunity awaits in the very heart of Taos—where history, culture, and timeless Southwest charm converge. This completely renovated historic adobe, originally built in the 1800s, carries a legacy few properties can claim. Located on Bent Street—named for Charles Bent, the first Territorial Governor of New Mexico—this storied residence sits just doors away from Bent’s original home and trading post, ground that witnessed the dramatic events of the Taos Revolt of 1847. Today, the property is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offering not just a home or workspace, but a rare chance to own a meaningful piece of New Mexico’s living history. Perfectly positioned with easy access to the Taos Plaza, Kit Carson Park, the Taos Inn, and the area’s celebrated fine dining, galleries, music, and cultural venues, this location places you at the center of everything that makes Taos unforgettable. With its valuable commercial designation, this unique property offers exceptional flexibility for a true live/work lifestyle. Whether envisioned as a refined gallery, boutique storefront, professional studio, or an inspiring creative workspace, the setting invites entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals to live and conduct business in one of Taos’ most desirable and historically significant corridors—where steady foot traffic and cultural energy naturally support visibility and engagement. Inside, the residence blends historic character with modern comfort. The elegant 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout features a welcoming living room, dedicated dining area, and a spacious kitchen complete with gas range/oven and dining counter—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A cozy den and private study provide flexible spaces for work, client meetings, creativity, or quiet retreat. Two fireplaces add warmth and ambiance, while classic Southwest accents throughout the home honor its heritage with refined authenticity. Step outside to a covered porch and inviting patio with grill—perfect for enjoying Taos’ iconic light, mountain air, and star-filled evenings. Practical conveniences such as fiber optic internet, alarm system, washer and dryer, and off-street parking ensure that historic charm never comes at the expense of modern ease. Classy, elegant, and rich with story, this exceptional property offers more than a place to live—it offers an immersive Taos experience where past and present meet—an inspiring setting to reside, create, welcome friends or clients, and share in the vibrant cultural life that defines Taos.
