Einfamilienhaus In Taos

Centered around a picturesque one-third-acre pond fed by the Rio Fernando de Taos, this extraordinary authentic adobe compound offers one of the most captivating private settings in Northern New Mexico. Just five miles from the Historic Taos Plaza and approximately five minutes to the entrance of Taos Canyon, the property encompasses approximately 4.5 lush acres with water rights, mature cottonwoods and junipers, flowering gardens, native grasses, an orchard, and a private trail with foot bridge that crosses the river before winding into Carson National Forest. Offering an exceptional balance of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience, this is a property unlike any other. Lovingly created and refined over more than 35 years as a forever home, the estate embodies the timeless spirit of Taos. The 3,818-square-foot main residence showcases authentic adobe construction with thick adobe walls, hand-crafted vigas, curved plaster walls, Italian stone tile flooring throughout the main house, satillo tile in the guest house, extensive skylights, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light while framing serene views of the pond, gardens, and surrounding landscape. The expansive living room is anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace beneath beautiful latilla and viga ceilings, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The adjoining dining area flows seamlessly into a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen featuring custom American cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, premium JennAir, Miele, and Fisher & Paykel appliances, trash compactor, additional sink, a warming oven, a generous center island, and breakfast seating. The home currently offers two spacious bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, along with a beautifully crafted library/office featuring custom built-in cabinetry. An additional third bedroom and full bathroom are thoughtfully situated just off the living area, providing exceptional flexibility for guests, a home office, or other lifestyle needs. The serene primary suite is a true private retreat, featuring a gas fireplace, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private patio with a hot tub, all overlooking the tranquil pond and beautifully landscaped grounds. Nestled among mature junipers, the attached 800-square-foot adobe casita provides a welcoming retreat for guests, extended family, or creative pursuits. Also perfect for a caretaker. Complete with one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, living room with a Southwestern wood-burning fireplace, and its own private patio, it offers comfort, privacy, and flexibility while complementing the main residence. Additional amenities include an attached two-car garage, a detached two-car garage and carport serving the casita, multi-use out buildings, and ample parking. Properties of this significance are exceptionally rare. From quiet mornings overlooking the pond and evenings beside the fire to private walks along the Rio Fernando and into Carson National Forest, every element of this remarkable estate reflects a deep connection to the landscape that defines Northern New Mexico. Combining authentic adobe architecture, water rights, direct National Forest access, and an incomparable setting just minutes from Taos, this is more than a home, it is a legacy property to be treasured for generations.
