Situated in the Upper Colonias area at the end of a quiet road with no through traffic, this pueblo-style adobe-constructed two-bedroom and two-bathroom home benefits from huge views out over to Taos Mountain.  This home has all the features you would want in a Taos home or getaway, from Saltillo tile floors and solid wood interior doors throughout to smooth plaster finished walls and characteristic tongue-and-groove wood ceilings with strong vigas. Arched passageways and custom light fixtures add to the home’s charm. The efficient thermopane windows, a Nordic Crown six-person hot tub, and zoned radiant in-floor heat powered by a NTI on-demand hot water boiler, will keep you comfortably warm on those winter ski days.  The front entry via the solid custom front door leads into an airy open-plan kitchen and living area, but the first thing you will notice are the stunning views of Taos Mountain. The kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, and granite tile counters opening out to the living area. The spacious living room features a wood burning corner kiva fireplace, dual nichos, and those incredible views to the mountains. From the dining/office area located on the south side of the home, step out onto the patio to enjoy the hot tub and views to the south and east. The master suite and guest bedroom both have plenty of closet space and multiple windows providing natural light and gorgeous views. With the master bedroom located on the south side of the home through a small passageway from the dining/office area and the guest bedroom located on the north side, each bedroom enjoys its own degree of privacy.  The general layout and flow of the home bodes well for easy living and entertaining.  Kit Carson High-Speed Fiber Optic is installed to the lot. In addition, the small neighborhood benefits from a fire suppression system which incorporates a large buried water-filled holding tank that can be used by fire personnel in lieu of hydrants, if ever needed.   Located just ten minutes from Arroyo Seco with a further ten miles to Taos Ski Valley, being only five miles into Taos town, and with easy access out towards Questa or west to Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, this property is very well-positioned geographically so you and your guests can make the most of all Taos County has to offer.
