    About this Property

    Built in the 1830s, the historic Dasburg Home and Studio captures the artistic spirit of Taos over the last two centuries. Home of the renowned Modernist painter Andrew Dasburg from 1932 until his death in 1979, this 4.6-acre property is on the state historic registry and comes with surface water rights via the Acequia Madre del Rio Chiquito that irrigates multiple pastures. Located on the Talpa ridge, your new home has surrounding views of Taos Mountain, Picuris Mountain, El Pedernal, and the Jemez Mountain Range with deep portals offering expansive sunset views. The current owners, husband-and-wife architect and designer, chose finishes and amenities that bring the past and present together with a focus on comfort, health, style, and historical integrity. The most recent renovations continue in the spirit of hand-built adobe homes by updating with materials and hand-crafted work from local New Mexico and California artisans as well as custom made pieces from Mexico, Italy, and Morocco. The 3100-square-foot adobe main house generously offers three bedrooms, four baths, and six kiva-style fireplaces. Updated appliances include a Viking range, Bosch Dishwasher, LG Washer/Dryer and a 48-in. Miele fridge and freezer combination. The vigas are tree-ring dated to the 1830s and the ceilings are a mix of split cedar, aspen latillas, and beautifully coved plaster. The house has been updated with period-specific style Sierra Pacific windows. Recent updates incorporate earthen finishes including Moroccan zellige tile; clay aliz walls by local adobe master plaster artisan Carol Crews; tile work by noted Taos ceramicist Hank Saxe; and living room pavers handmade on site by Andrew Dasburg himself. One bathroom includes a hammered copper bath custom-built in Mexico, and another includes a deep, Japanese style onsen soaking tub. Originally built in 1932 as Dasburg's painting studio, the adobe guest house features large north-facing windows with tons of natural light. The guest house has one large bedroom, 1.5 baths, a full kitchen, new Sierra Pacific windows, two grand kiva fireplaces, and a unique layout that captures the creative spirit of the original studio. Additional features include a three-sided carport, a horse-shoe pit, an outdoor kiva fireplace, and a barn with ample room for a studio, workshop, or home for your burro and sheep. Check out the virtual tour of the main house and the list of property improvements provided by the owner.
