Single Family Residence In Ranchos De Taos

Set on 4.61 acres near historic Ranchos Plaza, the Andrew Dasburg House and Studio is a rare and remarkable Northern New Mexico adobe compound, longtime home and studio of influential American modernist Andrew Dasburg and listed in the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties. Across two distinct adobe residences totaling approximately 3,692 square feet are four bedrooms and 5.5 baths, with the main residence offering three bedrooms, four baths, six kiva fireplaces, inviting living and dining spaces, and a distinctive country kitchen with handmade tile countertops and professional-grade Viking, Miele, and Bosch appliances; the separate 935-square-foot adobe residence includes one bedroom, 1.5 baths, a generous kitchen, abundant natural light, and two additional kiva fireplaces. Authentic Taos craftsmanship is found throughout, including thick earthen walls, exposed vigas, arched openings, nichos, bancos, traditional earth-clay alíz finishes, herringbone brick, handcrafted tilework, copper fixtures, and floors incorporating concrete tiles made and set by Dasburg and Italian terracotta tile. Mature trees, flowering gardens, irrigated fields, deep covered portales, intimate courtyards, and a separate outdoor gathering area with a traditional kiva fireplace and firepit create a private village-like setting, complemented by a detached barn and adjoining carport constructed by Dasburg in the 1930s. The land is equally exceptional, with an active acequia, approximately 1.87 irrigated acres supported by adjudicated surface-water rights, a 1760 priority date, permitted diversion of 5.161 acre-feet, and a private well with a permitted annual diversion of three acre-feet, subject to State Engineer terms and conditions. Both residences offer natural-gas service, hot-water hydronic baseboard heating, and supplemental radiant floor heat, along with updated fiber-optic internet and Starlink backup. The property consists of two legally described tracts totaling approximately 4.615 acres and offers the rare combination of historic significance, artistic provenance, privacy, usable land, water, and modern infrastructure, all just minutes from San Francisco de Asís Church, Ranchos Plaza, Taos Plaza, the High Road, Taos Country Club, galleries, restaurants, skiing, hiking, and the cultural heart of Taos. This is more than a residence—it is a living part of the architectural and artistic story of Taos, thoughtfully preserved and ready for its next steward.
