IN ESCROW, SALE PENDING.True ADOBE brick construction .Over an acre of mesaland .The windows are abundant, doublepaned, and fill the house with
LIGHT all year long. A rare IRISH Waterford woodstove adds the warmth and ambiance of a real wood fire in winter. There is RADIANT floor heat under superior 18-inch Spanish porcelain tile ; three separate zones . There are distant VIEWS across valley/mesa land to the west and MOUNTAIN ranges to the north, east and south; THE VIEWS SIMPLY CANNOT BE CAPTURED SUFFICIENTLY IN MY PHOTOS--you have to see it to believe it. 360 views for miles and miles, everchanging and stunning.
The neighborhood is peaceful and QUIET, yet only TEN minutes (4 miles) from the center of Taos Plaza. There are protective COVENANTS to maintain the property's value over time. Low-maintenance and beautiful XERISCAPE perennial plants, most flowering in spring & summer, adorn the perimeter of the house on all four sides. Some crabapple and evergreens too. There is a covered sitting area/PORCH in back for enjoying sunsets or barbeques and a small portal over the front door. A fenced area provides protection for your PETS. A beautiful ARCHWAY and gate provide a stunning visual entrance to the fenced area.
An OPEN floor plan for living and dining (measurements: 18' x 20') and kitchen flow together to give this house a feeling of tremendous SPACIOUSNESS and comfort. The two bedrooms are LARGE (master is 18 x 15' and second bedroom is 16.5 x 12.5--large closets too) and located on OPPOSITE ends of the house for maximum privacy. Total square footage is 1250 yet it feels much larger.
If desired, one may build a guest house or studio on the property as well, or perhaps add another room on to the existing house. There are miles of open land to HIKE on, all the way to the Rio Grande if you like (a few miles!). Utilities include natural gas and electricity . Highest bill in a very cold winter could be $100, depending on how many zones you keep turned on and at what temperature you keep the thermostat--energy costs are much less in summer. The adobe construction makes this house extremely quiet and cozy.
