Property Description

Step into the character and charm of Northern New Mexico with this inviting adobe home, rich in history and connected to Taos’ artistic heritage. Originally part of artist Frank B. Hoffman’s Hobby Horse Ranch, the property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Taos history while enjoying beautiful views of Taos Mountain. Ideally located just two miles from the Taos Plaza and close to trails in Kit Carson National Forest, the home offers easy access to Taos’ restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions, with the beauty of the surrounding mountains and forest just minutes away. The home blends its historic adobe character with thoughtful modern updates, including new appliances and a new tankless hot water heater, all installed in 2026. Mature pear and apricot trees enhance the established setting and create a peaceful connection to the land, reflecting the agricultural character and timeless appeal of the area. For those seeking additional land, the adjoining 2.29 acres are also available for purchase, providing an opportunity to expand the property, create additional privacy, or simply enjoy more open space and the surrounding landscape. With its historic adobe character, connection to Taos’ artistic legacy, mountain views, mature trees, and proximity to both downtown and the national forest, this is a distinctive property with a wonderful sense of place.
