Single Family Residence In Taos

Custom Built Residence in the Lush Ranchitos Valley Near the Rio~ Conveniently tucked at the end of a private ¼-mile road within a vibrant, pastoral expanse, this incredibly solid, meticulously hand-built home delivers ultimate privacy just 2.2 miles from Taos Plaza. Surrounded by generational grazing lands that guarantee magical, unobstructed 360-degree Taos Mountain views, the fully fenced 2.3-acre sanctuary features direct Rio Fernando frontage and two acres of Jose Venito Martinez (JVM) acequia rights. The fertile grounds are an agricultural and wildlife haven, hosting three thriving giant willow trees, young fruit trees, established organic gardens, a hoop house, and visits from deer, foxes, and diverse birdlife, while beavers and river otters frequent the river. Custom-crafted down to the studs by the current owners, the 2-bedroom, ADA-compliant 2-bathroom residence highlights 9-foot ceilings, radiant wood-plank tile floors, and bespoke live-edge windowsills uniquely milled from local aspen, pine, and juniper. A highly functional kitchen with knotty alder cabinets and marble counters opens directly into an 8’x25’ sunroom engineered for cultivating global flora year-round. Built like a fortress for unmatched efficiency, the fire-rated structure is fortified with R24 rigid foam walls, an R80 blown-insulation roof, Hardie siding, and Pella windows, all completely offset by a fully owned 6.5 KW solar array and twelve 180W batteries. An oversized, heated two-car garage houses an advanced whole-health water filtration system and connects to a dedicated workshop, while a separate bonus room serves as the perfect art studio or office. Rounding out this equestrian-friendly, village-residential property are utility sheds, an RV pad with hookups, and a large Hotspring tub on the west-facing porch for constant relaxation. From the meandering waters of the Rio Fernando to the absolute solidity of the custom-built residence, opportunities to own a water-rich estate of this caliber are exceedingly rare. Zoned R-3, this location also offers the rare opportunity to develop multiple homes or a multi-family complex if one desires. An adjacent 2 acre lot with a shared well and electricity, barns, horse corrals available for separate purchase. Schedule your private showing today to see it for yourself.
