    About this Property

    EXPECT THE EXCEPTIONAL. Nothing was spared in design and detail to create one of the most beautiful homes you'll see. Endless views in all directions provide the "wow" effect from the moment you enter the glassed foyer of this unique 3, 300 sq. ft. 2/3 bedroom home, with office, an endless pool, sauna, and a 4car heated garage on 4.17 ac in a desirable Northside location.( all on one level with no interior steps. Handicap friendly) Current owners have done extensive remodeling/renovation and have lovingly maintained the property. Tucked back from the road, a winding drive takes you to the striking walled entrance which boasts admirable native landscaping plus a small pond and fountain. Entering, the home is awash in natural light and will brighten even the darkest moods. The living room has mountain and mesa views and a fireplace to add ambience when night falls. The cozy TV/library room adjoins and seconds as a 3rd br. for guests. You'll appreciate the sensual lines running through as you move from room to room. Even a non-cook will appreciate the well equipped kitchen with stainless, granite and more views. The dining room, complete with corner fireplace, is designed to enjoy sunset vistas to the west while catching the moon peak up from Taos Mountain on the east. Stunning. The primary bedroom has big views, walk-in closet , bath with bidet and oversized walk-in, roll in, shower. Another bedroom also features a walk-in closet and en suite bath. If you wake up with the birds, have an envigorating, healthful swim in the endless pool and follow up with a sauna to start the day off right. Once again, the views will amaze. Love the privacy and quiet but need to stay connected? Connect in the office. Fiber optics will get you there so you can stay here. Relax on the front portal and enjoy dead on views of Taos Mtn. or entertain a couple or a crowd on the back patio which provides front row seats for candy colored sunsets and a kiva fireplace to take off the evening chill. Extensive xeriscape landscaping includes a river of rocks for drainage and a 5,000 gal cistern to catch water plus a gray water system for irrigation. People and eco-friendly pumice construction adds to the appeal. You'll love the location just 15 min. to town and 20-25min. to Taos Ski Valley and USF. Golfing, fishing, rafting, kayaking are also nearby or just walk out the door and find miles of roads to get in those steps. Want an easy move? Property can be sold turn-key. Very private and the quiet is palpable- an oasis of serenity, if you will. Magical.
