Tucked into the high desert of Arroyo Seco, this exceptional adobe compound captivates you the moment you arrive. You are welcomed by a beautifully landscaped front yard featuring flagstone walkways, garden beds, and a built-in irrigation system. Authentic Southwestern vigas crown the ceilings, while multiple kiva fireplaces throughout the home bring warmth and cozy ambiance rooted in native tradition. Concrete floors flow seamlessly through every room, adding quiet elegance and durability. The spacious kitchen is highly functional, featuring quality cabinetry and premium appliances. The main residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a primary suite with a large soaking tub, a stylish walk-in shower, and his-and-her walk-in closets. Connecting the home to the two-car garage is an oversized laundry room with abundant storage cabinetry and a utility sink for added convenience. There is also a dedicated office with its own private entrance. Additionally, a separate casita provides its own full bathroom and private courtyard—ideal for guests or extended stays. The spectacular central courtyard creates a true private retreat, featuring a built-in firepit, bubbling hot tub, raised garden beds, and flourishing native landscaping. Outdoor dining and multiple seating areas complete this peaceful, serene setting. For added functionality, the property includes a whole-house propane generator, oversized water heater, Tesla charging station, and a bonus storage shed. Recent upgrades include newer windows, refreshed stucco, updated interior plaster, and a resealed roof. Positioned almost perfectly between the historic town of Taos and the alpine world of Taos Ski Valley, this home offers both convenience and escape. A sanctuary of wide-open skies, breathtaking mountain vistas, and timeless natural beauty, this is a place to escape, recharge, and reset.
