Discover this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat nestled just 1 mile from Sipapu Ski Mountain and Lodge, in the heart of Los Mochas, NM. Surrounded by the breathtaking Carson National Forest and just minutes from the Pecos Wilderness Area, this private property offers serenity, seclusion, and endless outdoor adventure. Perched above the Rio del Pueblo, the cabin boasts sweeping views of the river valley and surrounding forested mountains. Inside, the home showcases charming Southwest craftsmanship with passive solar design, vigas, and warm wood accents. The open-concept living room and kitchen create a welcoming space for gatherings. The top floor entry from the driveway leads into the main living area, kitchen, dining/family room, one large primary bedroom, plus two additional bonus rooms that can serve as extra sleeping quarters, a home office, or creative space. The home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests. Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious 300 sq ft garage – a single bay, yet deep enough to fit two cars, or one car and a tractor, or recreational gear like ATVs or snowmobiles. A versatile multi-purpose room on the same level offers additional flexibility for hobbies, storage, or expansion. Just 20 miles from Taos, this cabin combines rustic charm with modern comfort, all in an unbeatable natural setting. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal escape, a year-round home, or a rental opportunity, this unique property delivers it all.
