Set against the wide-open landscape of Des Montes, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers incredible views in every direction—from the dramatic Taos Mountains to the east to expansive mesa sunsets in the west. Located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Taos and 20 minutes from Taos Ski Valley, the property offers a wonderful balance of privacy, space, and convenient access to everything the Taos area has to offer. Custom built for the current owner in 2003, the home was thoughtfully remodeled in 2011 and has continued to receive important updates, including new windows around 2023 and a new roof in 2025. Modern conveniences include air conditioning and a smart refrigerator, while multiple heating options—forced-air heat, baseboard heat, and two wood-burning stoves and a fire place—keep the home warm and comfortable through Northern New Mexico winters. The property is exceptionally well equipped when it comes to water, with both a private well and municipal water, along with valuable water rights on the Madre Acequia. Outside, big skies frame incredible views of the Taos Mountains to the east and the expansive mesa to the west, creating a classic Northern New Mexico setting. A unique opportunity allows buyers to choose the property that best fits their needs: purchase the home on approximately one acre, or purchase the entire 4.1-acre property for additional space, privacy, and possibilities. Whether you’re looking for a full-time Taos residence, a mountain getaway, or simply room to enjoy the beauty and open space of Northern New Mexico, this Des Montes property offers a rare combination of location, views, water resources, acreage, and flexibility.
