Here is an oasis on the banks of the Rio Fernando off Kit Carson Road, just before the entrance to Taos Canyon, minutes from Taos Plaza! Situated on 2.25 acres under the canopy of ancient cottonwood trees, aspens, pear, plum, apple and apricot trees, in the shadow of Taos Canyon and Carson National Forest, this property is truly unique to the area. The original owner is selling her 2,043 square foot custom built Southwest style split level home. Lovingly maintained, this property has beautiful open living areas with outdoor access for unlimited entertainment inside, outside, or in the park like setting.
Entry foyer doubles as a mud room and offers a dramatic entrance into the main living areas. Vaulted ceilings and generous windows bring the outside in. Living area supports multiple seating arrangements, anchored by a sculptural Southwestern wood stove fireplace. Kitchen has stainless steel and black appliances including refrigerator, microwave, electric range, dishwasher; granite countertops and an eating nook with banco. A large Dining Area overlooks the entry deck and river frontage.

Part of the bedroom wing includes a comfortable guest bathroom and a spacious Laundry and Mechanical Room.

Built with passive solar gain in mind, the Southern exposure means low utility bills. Generous windows and skylights make for light, bright living with views from every perspective.
