    Perfect for refined hosting and elevated entertaining, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of timeless design, global influence, and contemporary luxury. Crafted for those who value architectural artistry and effortless hospitality, the residence unfolds with thoughtful flow, generous gathering spaces, and sophisticated indoor and outdoor living. Each room opens like its own chapter. Distinct, intentional, and seamlessly connected to create a refined sense of livability and design. A timeless piece of Taos, New Mexico real estate, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom estate is haute couture in architectural form. A blend of classic Southwest character, Middle Eastern influence, and modern elegance, the home feels both storied and contemporary. Exquisite woodwork and one-of-a-kind doors anchor the estate with craftsmanship rarely seen today. A full, high-end renovation elevates the entire second floor as well as the lower pool suite, pairing luxury finishes with thoughtful spatial design. Every bathroom has been re-imagined to maximize comfort, serenity, and elevated hospitality. Designed for seamless entertaining, the sophisticated working chef’s kitchen opens into a grand dining room with soaring ceilings and an adjacent, beautifully appointed library. Two primary suites, one on each level, offer flexibility and privacy. From the upstairs porch, enjoy sweeping views of the town of Taos and the striking profile of the El Salto cliffs. Originally built by Ambassador Bill Eagleton, a career diplomat to numerous Middle Eastern nations, the residence carries an international pedigree matched by its exceptional design. With over 4,300 square feet of interior living and more than 3,100 square feet of outdoor patios, portals, and porches, the home is ideally suited for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations. The expansive great room opens onto a meticulously maintained patio featuring a 41-foot heated lap pool and in-ground hot tub. Lush gardens on drip irrigation create a private oasis of blooms, shade, and outdoor living. Set on 3 acres, the property also includes a peach orchard and thriving blackberry and raspberry patches just off the kitchen terrace. Six fireplaces, dramatic vaulted ceilings, generous art walls, and cozy architectural nooks complete the experience. An estate that feels both grand and deeply livable. A rare opportunity to own a truly singular oasis in the heart of magical Taos.
