I Need My Space - If you're tired of close quarters with neighbors too near then you'll appreciate this blend of privacy, sustainability, and southwestern charm. Set on 5.3 pristine acres in the Tune Drive area of Taos, this beautifully updated 1950 sq.ft. 3-bedroom, 2-bath pueblo-style home offers the ideal combination of privacy, style, and smart design. Built with energy-efficient pumice-crete and designed with a passive-solar orientation, this thoughtfully crafted home stays warm in winter and cool in summer. Abundant windows throughout maximize natural light and offer breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding mesas and mountains, while enhancing the home's solar gain. A spacious sunroom - with a woodstove - provides a comfortable space to enjoy all seasons, soaking in sunlight by day and warmth by night. The living area features a classic kiva-style wood-burning fireplace. The heart of the home is an updated chef's kitchen, complete with a high-end Wolf range, upgraded stainless steel appliances, a wine chiller, and a generous wood butcher block island - perfect for meal prep, casual dining, or gathering with friends. Vermont slate floors run throughout with in-floor radiant heating, complementing the open-concept layout that's both bright and functional. The primary bedroom suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring a private ensuite bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in closet, and french doors that open to a landscaped private courtyard - ideal for morning coffee, yoga, or stargazing. Authentic Southwestern details such as nichos, viga ceilings, handcrafted wood doors, and custom screen doors add unique character, while the second bathroom has also been tastefully updated for modern convenience. Outside, you'll find established landscaping and enclosed courtyards surrounded by classic stucco walls, filled with perennials, trees, some drip irrigation for convenience, and water catchment gravity fed barrels to soak your trees. Horses allowed. A detached barn makes the property equestrian-ready, with plenty of room for riding or future expansion. Located just minutes from the BLM National Rio Grande Monument and close to hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails - not to mention world-class fishing. Taos Ski Valley and the vibrant town center are also just a short drive away.
