About This Home
The Essence of Northern New Mexico in Upper Colonias Priced to SELL ~ Nestled in the heart of Taos’ coveted Upper Colonias neighborhood, this enchanting adobe sanctuary captures the soul of Northern New Mexico. Set on nearly an acre of high desert forested land, this custom-built home feels like a hidden retreat —yet it's just minutes from the Historic Taos Plaza, world-class dining, skiing, and the vibrant art scene. Wake each morning to the serene sound of a koi pond and sip coffee while gazing at the majestic Taos Mountain from your private garden. Inside, the home is a masterpiece of traditional Southwestern craftsmanship: four grand adobe kiva fireplaces adorned with artisan tile, hand-carved woodwork by local artist Sergio Martinez, and ceilings of oiled vigas and herringbone cedar planks. Expansive picture windows frame the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Western sunsets, while custom willow rush shutters and hand-stamped tin paneled kitchen cabinetry add warmth and charm. The chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, spa-like primary suite with a private hot tub patio, and versatile bonus room offer comfort and inspiration in equal measure. Surrounded by mature pine and encircled by a handcrafted latilla fence, this energy-efficient adobe home is a rare blend of artistry, nature, and tranquility—an authentic Taos treasure. The seller will offer the Buyer a $20,000 credit at closing to make any changes they desire, if any.
