Tucked high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this private mountain sanctuary offers a rare blend of organic design, modern comfort, and wild serenity. Situated at 8,000 feet overlooking the sweeping vistas of Gallina Canyon, the property spans 6.48 pristine acres bordered by ancient Ponderosa pines, Gambel’s oak groves, and a seasonal creek. The main house features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 expansive flex/studio rooms in a spacious floor plan of 2,996 square feet. The upstairs rooms feature individual decks overlooking the mountains. Designed with passive solar principles and constructed of compressed adobe block. Hand-plastered mica-infused interior walls and a soft, natural color palette reflect the surrounding landscape, creating a warm, earthy, and artistic ambiance throughout. A separate guesthouse — the enchanting Pyramid Cabin — is ideal for visitors or rental income. Additionally, an exterior studio and workshop on the property offers abundant space for creative pursuits or practical needs. Recent updates in the summer of 2025 totaling $30,000 include new color coat and plaster, a well water line to the home, and driveway improvements. Lovingly stewarded for two decades by a wildlife biologist and land management specialist, the property is ecologically thoughtful, inviting wildlife and maintaining a healthy forest habitat. Step out your back door to immediate access to mountain biking, skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, and birdwatching — with the Columbine–Hondo Wilderness just a short walk away. Despite its feeling of seclusion, the home is remarkably well-located: just 12 miles to world-class skiing at Taos Ski Valley, 13 miles to Taos Plaza, and 11 miles to the Rio Grande at John Dunn Bridge. Work remotely with ease thanks to high-speed fiber-optic internet (up to 400 Mbps). Whether you’re watching elk wander through the trees, soaking in golden sunsets from the porch, or stargazing in stillness, this is a place to reconnect with nature, creativity, and yourself. A truly one-of-a-kind retreat that must be experienced to be believed.
