Taos, NM 87571

Steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this remarkable 4300 square-foot estate is a rare offering that seamlessly blends the character of the late 1800's and early 1900's with the comfort and sophistication of today. The beautifully restored adobe and frame main house and guesthouse preserve the authentic charm of a Northern New Mexico farmhouse while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. The house is situated to take advantage of mountain views in almost every direction, as well as views of the acequia and forested area offering an exceptional view of Taos mountain. Situated adjacent to the foothills, it is not uncommon to encounter elk early in the morning. Owned by an architect with experience restoring and preserving historic buildings throughout his career, every renovation was completed with respect for the home's heritage. New windows, doors, flooring, and carefully selected finishes honor the property's historic character while providing all the conveniences of contemporary living. The heart of the main home is a stunning custom kitchen featuring handcrafted cabinetry and doors, a porcelain farmhouse sink, updated appliances, beautiful natural stone countertops, distinctive Tabarka handmade tile, and beautiful views of the grounds from the many windows. In the winter, one of the property's three Vermont-style, cast-iron gas stoves provides warmth and comfort in the kitchen. Just off the kitchen, the thoughtfully designed laundry room continues the farmhouse aesthetic with custom cabinetry and abundant storage. The inviting living room is filled with natural light and anchored by a classic kiva gas fireplace, thick adobe walls, a Spanish-tiled niche, and elegant Venetian plaster. An oversized window in the living room provides outstanding views of Taos mountain. A few steps beyond the living room, the spacious family and media room, with the home's second kiva fireplace, opens directly onto an expansive outdoor patio, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The private primary suite is a true retreat, offering breathtaking mountain views and an extraordinary spa-inspired bath complete with a sitting area, the home's third kiva gas fireplace, freestanding soaking tub, expansive steam shower, dual custom handcrafted vanities created by a local artisan, and custom French doors leading directly to the patio. A beautifully designed walk-in closet completes the suite and provides secondary laundry facilities within the main building. A charming guest bedroom and spacious Spanish tiled guest bath provide comfort for family and friends, while two additional office spaces offer flexibility for working from home, hobbies, or additional guest accommodations. The detached historic adobe and frame guesthouse is equally impressive, featuring two bedrooms, a graciously sized bath, custom walnut cabinetry, a fully appointed modern kitchen, a washer and dryer, air conditioning, a generous open living area, and its own private patio and yard - perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental opportunities. The outdoor living spaces are exceptional with multiple large patios, mature landscaping, an artistic freestanding gas fireplace, including a hot tub, outdoor shower, and oversized stone fire pit. A two-car carport and expansive driveway provide ample off-street parking for owners and guests. A thoughtfully constructed ten-foot stucco privacy wall that spans nearly 300 feet with a custom designed electric gate, enclose the property and create a peaceful sanctuary shielding the property from street noise and enhancing the estate's tranquil and private atmosphere. Just five minutes from the Historic Taos Plaza and within easy reach of world-renowned Taos Ski Valley, this extraordinary property offers the rare combination of privacy, history, and refined luxury. Where the rich heritage of Northern New Mexico meets sophisticated modern living.
