142 New Mexico 522 Unit 1 El Prado, NM 87529

Conveniently located in El Prado, only 13 miles from Taos Ski Valley, and approximately 5 miles from Taos Plaza, this recently remodeled one-bedroom, one-bath end-unit condominium offers an ideal opportunity for a full-time residence, part-time Taos retreat, or income-producing property. The end-unit design features three exterior concrete block walls, creating excellent insulation and a strong noise barrier from the road and neighboring units. This particular unit has two of its own parking spaces next to the unit, separate from the remaining units parking spaces, along with a 10x20 garage with electric service, with an insulated ceiling, and a concrete block west wall. The garage is electrified and has previously been rented on a monthly basis, offering added flexibility and potential income. The interior includes plaster-finished walls, three ceiling fans with lights, and an efficient floor plan with abundant natural light throughout. Heating and cooling are well-supported with two heat-pump mini-splits, electric baseboard heat, and a Jøtul propane stove in the living area capable of heating the entire condo and operating without power during outages. The unit has its own individual propane tank, not shared with other units. A generator system powers the water supply during power outages, adding reliability and peace of mind. Recent 2025 updates include a complete bathroom remodel, installation of heat-pump mini-splits with separate compressor units for each room, replacement of the hot water tank with an instant propane Rinnai system designed for altitude, new appliances including washer/dryer, refrigerator, stove/oven, and water heater, upgraded electrical panel capacity, and replacement of both exterior doors with energy-efficient doors for improved heat and sound control. The condominium association has also recently updated the shared septic system. Enjoy immaculate western views of the mesa, San Antonio Mountain, and stunning Taos sunsets. The property is bordered on the west by undeveloped Taos Pueblo land, providing a rare sense of openness and privacy. Outdoor living includes a fully enclosed front patio and a partially walled rear deck. Personal Garden space along the front exterior wall, and shared garden space on the northern part of the condominium property. Easy access to all that the Taos area offers completes this well-maintained and thoughtfully updated property.
