From humble beginnings, this Taos Country treasure has been lovingly crafted and cared for over the past thirty years. Located in the picturesque hamlet of El Rito, this private retreat is an easy forty minute drive through the town of Questa from the historic Taos Plaza. The main house features a blend of construction materials with the main rooms featuring plastered straw bale for healthy, efficient living. Brick and tile floors, mica graced hand plastered walls and interior flagstone details add to the charm of this gem. It is currently arranged as a three bedroom, three bath home with a roomy library and second level meditation room. With sweeping views of Latir Peak, San Antonio Mountain and Sierra Blanca to the North, the upper level room could easily be repurposed as a commanding bedroom or office suite. The house boasts over three thousand square feet of heated living space but one would never guess that from the carefully planned layout and cozy living spaces. Details like the polished coffee bar, hidden jewelry vault, central woodstove and clawfoot bathtub in the master suite encourage the visitor to imagine how peaceful it must be to call this “home”. The main house, studio, guest quarters and outdoor ramada are sprinkled across five wooded acres, offering privacy and a feeling of seclusion.

The Sellers historically have commuted to Taos, Red River, Taos Ski Valley and Tres Piedras. Though roughly ten miles North of Questa, well maintained roads offer easy access to amenities. Once home, straightforward access to hiking trails, The Rio Grande Gorge and Colorado Mountains to the North make this the perfect location for a Taos getaway.
