Would you like incredible views? Exquisite living spaces? Peaceful surroundings? This absolutely impressive one-of-a-kind property is strategically placed atop the mesa and offers 360-degree views. You will not only have spectacular sunsets, but also majestic sunrises. Surrounded by 5 private acres, this almost 4,000-square-foot custom-built, multilevel main house has so many well-thought features - grand entry with foyer, flagstone stairs, masterfully carved antique wooden doors and cabinetry, raised Viga ceilings up to 20 feet high with plaster walls, and multiple outdoor spaces. State of the art kitchen features Five Star stainless gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Living room features a wet bar, large kiva fireplace, flagstone floor with radiant floor heating, and exquisite French-paneled wooden shutters that overlook the large patio area with sunshade covers. Adjacent to the living room is a 500-square-foot studio/office featuring 25 feet of custom cabinetry, hand-stenciled walls, private entrance, lots of windows to allow natural light with more views, and a Viga ceiling. In the grand foyer, there is one of the most incredible half-bathrooms you will ever see with a 20-foot high ceiling and 18- foot hand-carved wooden doors. Both large bedrooms with en suite baths have private entrances to separate terraces and have luxurious appointments including marble in the bathrooms. The 1,500-square-foot guesthouse has a contemporary feel with spacious open floor plan, private courtyards, a large bedroom with gas fireplace and sitting area, and a full bathroom with double Jacuzzi tub and steam shower. This would make for a wonderful place for visiting relatives or use as a short-term or long-term rental. The very private grounds with no close neighbors offer a koi pond with waterfall, aspens, shade trees, separate fenced garden with raised beds, and several different options for relaxing and enjoying the most spectacular views that will make everyone envious. This is a magnificent retreat and a MUST-SEE for anyone wanting to truly experience why Taos is such a glorious place to live. Both houses are currently getting new roof systems.
