Taos Adobe Sanctuary With Unobstructed Mountain Views ~ Set on a peaceful two-plus acre parcel with easy paved access, Casa De Alfarero is a masterfully built adobe that perfectly balances high-desert seclusion with fine Southwestern architecture. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental with income potential, this property represents a turnkey opportunity in the heart of El Prado Arroyo Hondo Mesa, or the perfect sized full-time residence. The interior is defined by authentic craftsmanship, featuring high ceilings supported by massive vigas, classic Mexican tile mosaics, radiant floor heating, and an open-concept layout centered on unobstructed, dead-on views of Taos Mountain. Bordering sovereign Taos Pueblo land to the south, the residence enjoys permanent, wide-open southern exposures and views that maximize the natural light. The grounds are fully equipped for the modern traveler or outdoor enthusiast, offering a brand-new hot tub for soaking and stargazing after a long day on the slopes, an EV charging station for your electric vehicles, and a substantial outbuilding that serves as a gear shop or versatile storage, maybe something more if one desires. Positioned at the nexus of the region’s premier recreation hub, the home is minutes from world-class terrain at Taos Ski Valley in one direction and the John Dunn Bridge at the Rio Grande National Monument in the other, providing immediate access to rock climbing, whitewater rafting, fishing, natural hot springs and more. A short drive connects you to downtown Taos to experience the historic plaza’s rich culture, boutique shopping, and delicious local food, making this a rare, sanctuary that hits the sweet spot for both real estate investors and lifestyle buyers. Don't miss out on this sweet Southwest hide-out in Northern New Mexico.
