An ideal location for a sense of serenity where you can enjoy privacy and peace in an incredible setting with 49+ acres subdivided into three parcels adjacent to the Carson National Forest on the west boundary.  Spectacular views in every direction as you make your way down the 1/2 mile driveway from the gate to the house. Built in traditional adobe style and designed by architect John Barton, the color and texture of the home and adjoining casita blend into the environment. This home was published in ”The Gateway Home”, by Dale Mulfinger. The main home includes an open concept living room, dining room and kitchen with flagstone floors.  A large south facing window connects the kitchen and dining room showcasing the mountain views.  Thick adobe walls keep the home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  The west facing living/dining area is sheltered by a veranda and open to a lovely flagstone patio.  A hallway with built in shelving leads to a free standing arched adobe wall which separates the main living area from the lovely guest room/sitting area.  The primary bedroom is located just past this sitting area and features painted wood floors, a wood stove, a bath with saltillo tile floor and a claw foot tub as well as a walk in closet. Another large window lets the southern views right in. The skylight offers beautiful dark night skys and stars to help you drift off to sleep.  The unique round adobe casita features a large open area with 2 bedrooms and a bath.  The curvillinear shape was inspired by the Spanish Mission-style churches of the area.  The casita offers radiant floor heat and a wood burning stove.  A short walk leads to the Studio and the 2000 SF Workshop/Garage which has ample room to store your RV as well as cars, your tractor, etc.  This is a fabulous property for anyone seeking privacy, peace an quiet in an incredible setting.  Just minutes from the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa and a short drive to the Town of Taos and the Taos Ski Valley.
