SUNNY, SERENE AND TOTALLY SOUTHWEST! Classic Southwest design meets thoughtful living in this artistically crafted, solar-oriented 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in the desirable Vista Linda Subdivision — just minutes from town and near the Taos Country Club. Built by Ecobuilders using sustainable materials, this residence embraces true Northern New Mexico style with hand-troweled natural tinted plaster walls, traditional vigas and tongue-and-groove ceilings, and warm earth-toned tile floors that glow in the natural light. The open floor plan flows effortlessly between the spacious living room, kitchen, and dining area-- ideal for dinner parties, holiday tamale-making, or simply admiring your excellent taste. The beautiful wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space with timeless Southwest character. The radial vigas over the dining room add a subtle drama that whispers "yes-- I'm fabulous." The kitchen is well-equipped with gas oven, gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, generous panty and separate laundry room. The primary suite is full of light and luxury, with copper sinks, jumbo walk-in closet and direct access to the backyard and hot tub. (Morning coffee soak? Late-night stargazing? Both feel appropriate.) Two additional bedrooms and full bath sit off a sunny hallway-- perfect for guests, studio space or a home office you'll pretend you're very disciplined about. Beyond the kitchen is a large north-facing family room with its own sink offering endless flexibilty-- art studio, wet bar, media lounge, creative lab, yoga space... you choose. Soft light, big views, no bad angles. Step outside to a covered portal designed for lingering. Room to dine, room to lounge, room to exhale. Perennial gardens, mature trees, and established landscaping on drip irrigation surrounds the home and softens the natural high-desert setting, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat framed by stunning mountain views. There's even a hot tub for soaking in the views or the star-filled Taos skies-- because sometimes you just need to float and contemplate life choices. Ample parking for entertaining and a detached carport with storage means there's room for guests, gear and outdoor toys. Behind the beauty? Smart design. Passive solar, electric solar panels, pumice exterior wall construction (north, east & west), a private well and a rainwater catchment system with cistern for irrigation reflect forward-thinking, energy-efficient living. Sustainable never looked so good. Located near the Taos Country Club, Slide + Rift hiking + biking trails, and offering convenient access to Pilar and the Rio Grande for rafting, kayaking, and world-class fishing — this home is the perfect balance of Southwest detail, sustainability, and access to the wild beauty that makes Taos.... Taos.
