Built in 2026, lovely home sitting on 15 acres in a quiet gated community in the Des Montes / El Prado area. It is a simple, comfortable space to sink into the quiet, with open 360-degree views of Taos Mountain and the surrounding areas.
Enjoy your coffee in the morning watching the sunrise, warm up by the wood-burning stove in the evening, and fall asleep under clear starry skies. Covered brick portal (patio) and a gravel courtyard with outdoor furniture and a fire pit for stargazing over the 15 acres.
Inside, the house features traditional exposed wood beams, diamond plaster walls, and radiant heat. There's a large soaking bathtub for relaxing, comfortable seating, and a light-filled open layout. Dishwasher, washer/dryer include, gas oven, and wood burning stove in the home. The home is powered by a solar array with a robust battery backup, making off-grid living easy and reliable.
