Welcome to this beautiful sanctuary!  Immerse yourself in the spirit of artistry with this unparalleled 1930 era adobe home, a testament to the creative brilliance of Wolfgang Pogzeba, the famed German artist involved with the restoration of the iconic San Francisco de Asis church in Ranchos de Taos.  Originally built in early 1930, the property was crafted and expanded in 1960 and is an homage to the San Francisco de Asis church by Pogzeba and includes such architectural elements as clasping, angled, and setback buttresses.  The spacious structure abounds with many one-of-a-kind, artisan-crafted features, including hand-built doors and windows, two grand circular staircases, numerous bancos and nichos, and 11 kiva fireplaces!  Once the thriving Cottonwood B and B, this expansive 7,500 square foot retreat has been lovingly revitalized by the current owners, preserving its warmth and character.  The centerpiece of the house is an oversized living room whose handcrafted windows frame a spectacular view of Taos Mountain. This lavish, sophisticated space with its generously sized kiva fireplace is the perfect setting to socialize with family and friends.  The house offers numerous ways to enjoy a meal, depending on the mood.  Relax in an open plan living room/dining room with a large group of friends; entertain by the fire in a formal dining room; savor meals with family by the fire in the cozy and artful kitchen nook; or dine al fresco in the lush courtyard gardens.    The kitchen itself is a chefs delight, complete with an herb/vegetable garden, a coffee bar, a sizable walk-in pantry, and a spacious butlers pantry that includes an additional sink, refrigerator, and prep area.    The house boasts two circular staircases, one of which leads to the second-floor primary suite. This breathtaking sanctuary features a 300-gallon hot tub nestled in its own rotunda beneath a 12-foot sky light.    Included in the suite is a cozy sitting area with a large fireplace and a roomy dressing room that boasts a kitchenette complete with southwestern tile and vigas.   This luxurious suite is complemented by two private decks—one featuring an outdoor kiva fireplace—a 30-square foot steam shower, a separate water closet, and a second bathroom.    The current layout of the property features a second-floor window-lined office ideal for working from home and a spacious ground floor artist’s studio.   Nestled on a 1-acre walled and gated property, surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping, this home offers several outdoor spaces to relax and rejuvenate.    For the green thumb or aspiring farmer, raised beds and a large chicken coop await.    With nine bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, five kitchens, and private entrances for each room, this property offers three distinct use options.    Option 1: Family Residence.  In its current iteration the property is being used as a single-family residence and is perfect for a family compound.    Option 2: Bed and Breakfast.  With the reintroduction of 4 doors the property can be reconverted into a 9-bedroom bed and breakfast.    Option 3: Vacation Rental.  As a vacation rental the property is divisible into 5 (with a potential for 6) self-contained units, or it can be rented in its entirety as one large vacation rental.  (See Addendum A & B).    Option 4: Long-Term Housing Rentals.  The property is divisible into 5 (with a potential for 6) self-contained long-term apartments. Each of the 6 units would have private entrances and private decks or patios.  (See Addendum A & B)
