Between mountain and mesa, a light-filled adobe with beautiful high ceilings on a fenced acre with a private well and rare water rights, fifteen minutes to the slopes and with seasonal nonstops from uncrowded regional airports including Burbank, Carlsbad, Austin, and Dallas. North of Taos in Arroyo Seco, this adobe holds the warmth of thick walls and viga beams but opens wide to light and air in a great room where kitchen, dining, and living share one space. Two bedroom suites, one upstairs and one down, provide privacy for family or guests. A third room works as an office, studio, or extra bedroom. From the upper decks you see first light on the mountain, and from the covered porch and flagstone patio you watch the last sun fall over the mesa. A fenced acre holds mature pines and open ground for dogs, gardens, or nothing at all. Solar, Nest climate control, a two-car attached garage, a private well, and acequia rights—still found here but not often—keep the property independent in every season. It is a mile to Arroyo Seco’s cafés and well-stocked organic market, and fifteen minutes to the lifts at Taos Ski Valley. Seasonal flights arrive through small terminals with minimal lines, making it possible to be on the mountain or at your door within hours of leaving home. Offered at $1,095,000, a place to live in or to let.
