Description
Close to the ski resorts in Red River and Taos Ski Valley, near the Town of Taos and its many shops, restaurants and galleries, AND great for short term rentals. This is definitely not something one sees every day in the Taos area that comes on the market! A quiet and serene property nestled in the small mountain community of Questa/El Rito in northern New Mexico, north of Taos near the Colorado border, with eastern majestic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and western views of Ute Mountain, the Rio Grande Gorge, San Luis Valley and to the north, the Rocky Mountains. The Pueblo-style main house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a walk-in closet, a study, an open concept kitchen, dining room with Clere story allowing for passive solar, and living room, an upper covered balcony with incredible Southern views, a locked storage closet and borders a yearlong stream (acequia) with a private drive off a main road, affording easy accessibility all year long. There are exposed rough sawn beams with tongue and groove ceilings, wood clad windows throughout and custom handmade wood doors. It sits on two plots of land totaling 5.52 acres and is quite private. The house is full of light with all around spectacular views. There is a full house generator for comfort knowing the property can remain operational in an emergency, an outdoor sauna, and a hot tub on a deck off the master sitting room. Off the study, there is an outdoor rose garden. The outside has flagstone and brick patios, and a gazebo overlooking the running stream. Next door is a beautiful 400 sq. ft. casita with a carport, open main area including a full kitchen and bathroom, and an attached single car garage, perfect for additional space for family and friends to visit, or as rental income, or a unit for a caretaker of the property. The heating system for the house is an ETS (electric thermal system) in the main area, baseboard electric heat throughout the house, and hot water baseboard heaters in the master bedroom and the study. The casita also has a backup generator and is warmed by a gas heater. Also included on the property is a horse barn with three stalls, water and electric, a covered hay area for storage of 300-400 bales of hay, a tack room, 2 storage rooms, with one having heat, three corrals, and a round pen, in addition to Post and Rail fencing around the property. Convert the stable into an alternative workspace or a studio. Imagine the possibilities! This property is purely serene and peaceful! A protected access directly to the National Forest is mile away, so you can enjoy riding your horses anytime without having to trailer them. Bring your animals, have a separate space for your guests or a property manager, and enjoy the gardens and stupendous views. This is definitely a must-see for anyone wanting to truly experience the joys of living in New Mexico! On this listing, you will find an exterior drone video, as well as a 3D interior video tour of the main house.
