Lovely Private Adobe Home Near Town ~ Welcome to the Bird & Hand Ranch, a 2 bed 1.5 bath home on a lush .76 acre lot with a pond near Downtown Taos within the county limits. This residence is a rare rare find and does extremely well as a short-term rental with income of $70k+ annually. Truly the perfect place for full-time living, an investment property, or a little of both for short trips back to Northern New Mexico. The adobe home boasts countless classic Southwest features with vibrant finishes throughout. The two main bedrooms are large enough to fit king size beds, or twins to accommodate more guests. There is a third room which can be switched between an office or a bedroom with space for a convertible couch or two. The spacious kitchen with all your utilities is ideal for large family get-togethers during the holidays, or prepping small family meals. The newly added great room with high south facing windows near the viga beams was recently added to the home in 2022 and is the perfect place for fireside chats, spinning records, reading, and movie nights. This same area also fits a large dining room table, and is big enough to sleep more guests if necessary. The large primary bathroom is surrounded by elegant tile up the walls, and contains a soaking tub, walk-in shower, with plenty of storage, and radiant heated floors for complete comfort. A new septic system in place with the ability to ad second full-sized bathroom. The exterior of the property features a giant lush yard for the kids and pets to roam, a jacuzzi, and a latilla covered flagstone patio with a fireplace perfect for fireside meals, drinks, and entertaining. Outdoors, you’ll find a serene landscape in a semi-rural neighborhood dotted with mountain views, fruit trees, birches, cottonwoods, magpies, and mallards. This is a home for relaxing, entertaining, spreading out, and setting off on adventures. Come have a look for yourself!
