Résidence Unifamiliale À Taos

Sited on 5 forested acres surrounded by mature pine and aspen, abundant wildlife, and sweeping mountain character, 156 Valle Escondido Road is a private retreat where custom architecture, craftsmanship, history, and the natural environment come together with exceptional quality and character. Designed by renowned violin maker David Caron and professional cellist Rebecca Caron, the property features two distinctive homes, each with its own sense of style and sophistication. The approximately 3,200-square-foot main residence has the aura of a bespoke mountain lodge, with log-sided construction, soaring vaulted ceilings, radiant-heated brick and wood floors, custom cherry cabinetry, generous windows, and a great room thoughtfully designed for intimate gatherings, artistic pursuits, and musical performances. A separate approximately 1,500-square-foot chalet--originally David Caron’s luthier workshop and now a beautifully remodeled guest residence--adds two bedrooms, a loft, private deck, valley views, and remarkable versatility for guests, income, or investment potential (no HOA!). More than a home, this is a Northern New Mexico heritage property--a place for artists and craftspeople, family and friends, and those who value privacy, nature, independence, and the enduring spirit of the Southwest. A rare intersection of architecture, history, craftsmanship, and Rocky Mountain lifestyle in Taos County and the Enchanted Circle. Come and experience all that this property has to offer and embrace the everlasting art of living out west.
