Once in a blue moon does an original home of a "Taos Modern" artist come on the market. The Shaffer house was built by the artist in 1941 and has been retained by the family since. Experience the true Taos mystique as he did - Thick adobe walls with hand hewn vigas and beams, artistically crafted fireplaces. Shaffer was known for his photography, painting, and metal work. This is where the magic happened and the home is adorned with his iron work creations. Gas fired Jutol stoves have been added, as well as a more modern guest wing. Cottonwoods and lilacs frame Taos Mountain views from the magical Upper Ranchitos old adobe.
