La Isla ….  A Jewel Box  of  Taos This remarkable vintage property has been a labor of love for over two decades from its Original adobe structure to its renovation, carefully maintaining its original foot print.  The foundation, and all walls, ceiling, roof are now replaced to meet today’s code criteria, using reclaimed materials from its’ former self. Historic park like grounds, nurtured from both the Rio Pueblo and the Rio Lucero give this historic property and hacienda it’s name, La Isla (The Island).  Important features include locally implemented materials and artisan craftsmanship with sandcastles and buttresses that hug the adobe walls.  The Gran Sala creates an extraordinary boudoir with a floating staircase to the Mezzanine level.  The main home  has an optional lock off/mother-in-law suite, or  rental.   The  Gate Keepers’s cottage flanks the service entrance and was constructed to represent historic cabins of the early 1800’s.  The organic apple orchard  dates back to the time the  Wurlitzers 1940’s elegant home  was added to the older section. Seller is offering a $50,000 credit at closing to assist with closing costs, renovations, etc.
