It's Spring, come see the trees and shrubs budding, the grass getting green and the Rio de Fernando flowing in this colorful compound! On a beautiful corner lot, located just 1.5 miles from the Plaza, just beyond the town limits, in the coveted location of Cañon, sits a very special and incredibly unique property that will capture your imagination! Mature fruit trees (Apple,Pear,Apricot,Necterine), gardens, an irrigation ditch, seasonal stream (Rio Fernando de Taos), green grass and PRIVACY. Fenced, walled and gated, your secret garden awaits. When you walk through the front blue gate you will find an enchanting compound:main house, studio and casita (being sold turn-key and fully furnished) that possess all the charm of a historic adobe-yet light and bright from many skylights and windows. Originally built in 1900 and remodeled for modern comfort, the property meets every quintessential expectation: thick adobe walls, charming window sills, Vigas and Latillas, hand-painted tile, Portals and three wood-burning fireplaces. The deck surrounding the property is high-quality Trex to easily move about the compound. This beautiful oasis sits on .58 acre and is connected to community water, natural gas and has water rights! BONUS:the property is walking distance to the new Taos Cow for locally made ice cream! The main house is a roomy 1696 square feet, one bedroom and one bathroom. A gracious living room-perfect for entertaining, welcomes you. It has a hideaway office for remote work (just close the doors and hide it away), a wet bar and beverage fridge for easy entertaining. Also hidden away is laundry in a convenient closet. Step down two stairs and enter a kitchen that is filled with natural light, color, whimsy, and has a wood burning kiva fireplace for the coziest and charming warmth on winter nights. Through the kitchen is the original part of the property, a family room/office/screening room/formal dining room (so many possibilities) and then up two stairs to the primary bedroom with its second kiva fireplace. The primary bedroom will feel like a cozy, quiet nest. Curl up and shut out the world while listening to the crackle of burning wood as the snow falls. Walk out a side door( off the living room), and a few steps away you will find a roomy 290 sq. ft. studio (yoga, art, recording, guest space, work from home) with tons of built-in storage and a picture window that looks out into the beautiful, open yard. The property has a one car garage and an additional covered parking space, two big storage sheds, salt water hot tub purchased in 2021 and even an enclosed outdoor shower! The casita has it’s own deck, a fireplace, kitchenette (coffee, fridge, amenities-everything conveys!) and sits along the seasonal stream for the soothing sounds of rushing water and gorgeous birdsongs all while enjoying your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The Taos Bird House is TURNKEY and has a positive Airbnb history because this property is just beyond town limits. Yes, to STR. The list of inclusions is substantial. This property has been maintained by two locals for decades and they are available to continue the tradition. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity!
