940 State Road 570, Ranchos de Taos, NM 87557

Welcome to this cozy, well-appointed home west of the Taos Country Club on 1.85 acres of land, where you will be surrounded by scenic natural beauty, yet still be close to all the conveniences of town. Plentiful nature trails through the Rio Grande Del Norte Natural Monument and the Carson National Forest are close by, featuring the beautiful canyon where the Rio Pueblo River rushes down to join the Rio Grande. Start your mornings by having coffee in the hot tub while enjoying the bird calls and the incredible mountain views. Inside the home, you will see luxury vinyl flooring and large windows that fill the space with natural light throughout. Shades that prevent excessive heat or cold from coming in through the windows are installed, with remote control operation for easy opening and closing of those windows that are higher up. There is also a solar collector on the roof, which provides energy efficiency for heating the home in the winter. Step through the front door, where you will see an inviting living room with an efficient wood stove for cozy winter evenings, a Trombe wall, and a picture window from which you can watch the hummingbirds, quail, and many other wild birds come to feed. The kitchen has durable quartz countertops that do not burn or scratch, a gas stove, and sliding glass doors providing panoramic views of the incredibly beautiful sunsets. The primary bathroom was remodeled recently and has a gorgeous walk-in shower. There is also a half-bathroom and a laundry room. There are two bedrooms plus an extra room, which is currently used as an office. On the premises, there is also a large shed and a detached two-car carport. There is a private well and no HOA.
