Get ready to be surprised by this lovely family compound set on 2.5 acres of irrigated lands designed by Joaquin Karcher. The main residence is a passive home with Aliz plaster walls, that shimmer in the light. The walls are double thick, the windows are super efficient triple pane, and the active air exchange system circulates fresh air into the home with adjustments for seasons. The three bedrooms are set up as two primary suites, one with an adjoining office. The entire common area is filled with natural light from the high ceilings and overhead transom windows. The chefs kitchen is the perfect setting for family gatherings and the center of the home. A cozy living room has large windows for light and views directly at the Sangre de Cristo range. The landscaped patio accessed from the common area, is lovely for morning coffee, or cool shade in the afternoons. The two bedroom guesthouse also has many options for the next Owners. High ceilings throughout provide a light filled environment for living, working or playing! There is a full bath and full kitchen, storage/work area and a really large yard. This casita is set apart and private from the main house, and shares a common carport and outdoor patio area. While some of the land is occupied by structures, there remains a large portion available for growing crops or vegetables, or even a sumptuous lawn. Water rights from the acequia make the job more fun! Come see why this home has the magic you hear about in Taos! Call us for a private tour.
