37 Calle Caballeros Arroyo Seco, NM 87514

The perfect home for anyone who understands and appreciates the true fabric of El Salto and what this area of Taos offers each and every day! Constructed in 2019, and impeccably maintained, this gorgeous artist-designed Southwest style adobe-block home is situated on just under an acre of irrigated land, offers the best of modern conveniences, and hosts amazing 360 degree views with El Salto and Taos mountains out your front doorstep. The west view drops away in the distance towards the open mesa and glorious NM sunsets. Simply put, you will not find a better view from any property at this price at present in the El Salto/Arroyo Seco area. Built utilizing locally harvested hand-milled woods throughout its interior construction, and with an added detached and private 192 sq ft Amish-built insulated log cabin (the perfect place for your guests), you will see and feel just how special and strong this whole property is immediately upon arrival. The home is full of features, including but certainly not limited to, custom-crafted redwood double six-pane French windows, a handcrafted juniper and ponderosa pine entry door, custom brick entry porch, custom crafted seven-foot cedar interior doors, handcrafted highly figured juniper kitchen cabinetry with custom Mexican tile, butcher block bar, antique gas stove, and custom juniper window seat and storage area. The 20 x 16 sq ft great room provides amazing sunset views through double full pane doors with ten pane French sidelights, and the interior ceiling (10' high) treatments of herringbone and traditional patterned cedar, juniper and red fir grab your attention. The very large master bedroom and master bath with handcrafted juniper cabinetry, and custom Mexican tile/sink/shower and claw foot tub makes for lovely living and sleeping. Regarding appliances, be sure to take note of the antique Chambers four-burner gas stove in the kitchen, the stainless Samsung refrigerator/freezer, the Bosch Ascenta stack washer/dryer, the Navien on-demand hot water heater, the Pentair Pro Source Plus water storage tank (radiant floor heating), and the mainline MLEX30/American Plumber W10-BC water filtration system. In the winter, the passive solar heat resulting from the efficient adobe brick construction and many south facing windows complement the traditional in-floor radiant heating system. And, the Jotul wood stove makes for a particularly warm and cozy climate on snowy days! In the summer, the adobe brick construction keeps things cool for sure. Around the yard, find convenient off-street, level grade access and parking, various small terraces, and a Colorado stone west-side patio with low-voltage outdoor lighting. The entire perimeter is fully fenced and the property also offers a wood storage shed. This private pastoral setting is just a short 20-minute drive to recreation at Taos Ski Valley, Wheeler Peak/Williams Lake and hiking in Carson National Forest. A convenient 30 minutes to downtown Taos and five minutes to the historic village of Arroyo Seco. Whether you choose to make this home your primary residence, or as your own special 'get-away' pad, do not let this one pass you by.
