104 Espinoza Rd Ranchos de Taos, NM 87557

Spacious, light filled, warm and energy efficient adobe on the main ditch in Ranchos. Extensively remodeled from the ground up by the owner - craftsman, this home features lots of custom details: radiant floor heat, a well insulated pro-panel roof, a master suite with its own sitting room, a guest room, a large attached studio that could be a third bedroom or office, a foyer, a large living room with a wood stove, floors of ceramic tile, stained concrete and sealed mud, trombe walls and clerestory windows and a large high-ceilinged dining room that is the focus of the home. With apple, and wild cherry trees, apricot and plum trees and water rights, it also features two car ports and a 1000 sq ft adobe workshop/garage that also sports a large greenhouse on one side and is plumbed for a small apartment in the back. Community water and natural gas and the passive solar design mean your utility bills are reasonable; a 1500 gal grey water cistern lets you keep that green house and your small orchard green all year long. Here is the choice spot for the artist or family looking for an adobe home with character and soul that is a pleasure to live in year round. A year of gas bills make clear that owning a warm bright adobe does not have to be costly.
