The Dasburg Hacienda: This 3 bedroom 4 bath, 3100 sq ft adobe sits on the storied Talpa ridge together with a detached 1 bedroom 1 ½ bath adobe guesthouse. This 4. 6 acre parcel comes with surface water rights, a small irrigated pasture, views to the NE to Taos Mountain, to the south of Picuris Mountain and to the west of El Pedernal and the Jemez range. For over 50 years the Dasburg name hung at the gate along the High Road hinting to travelers coming to Taos about the wonders beyond the trees. Home since the ~1930s of renowned Modernist painter Andrew Dasburg, this spacious home and its history captures the collaborative artistic spirit of Taos over the last century – the living room pavers were made on site by Dasburg and neighbor Juan Mondragon; tile work throughout is by renowned Taos ceramic artist Hank Saxe; vigas are dated to the 1830s; the natural plaster walls are by Carol Crews; there are 6 kiva style fire places with custom wrought-iron screens; new metal-clad Sierra Pacific windows throughout; one of the baths has a Japanese-style onsen (soaking tub); updated bathrooms now have Moroccan zellige tile, a hammered copper bath, clay painted walls and modern fixtures; the ceilings range from vigas with split cedar, to plaster, to aspen latillas; updated appliances include a Viking range, Bosch DW, LG W/D and a Miele fridge and freezer. Renowned Taos enjarrara Carol Crews updated her plaster work in several rooms and the roof has been updated with a Gaco coat. The adobe guesthouse has 1 and 1/2 baths and a full kitchen and laundry and 2 kiva fireplaces of its own. The back patio of each is beautifully aligned to give you unobstructed views of the startling sunsets over El Pedernal. On the south side is a pad ready for an outdoor hot tub and nearby is a horse-shoe pit that beckons you to linger by the outdoor fireplace; there is ample room for an additional studio or a workshop or a home for your horses. The owners, accomplished designers and architects, chose finishes and amenities that seamlessly enhance and complement the old so you have a sumptuous house and guesthouse that give you comfort, style and history. This is a home that captures the history and craft work of the artisans of the Taos valley over the last two centuries.
