This is the one you have been waiting for - one-of-a-kind contemporary mountain retreat in the coveted Cañon Foothills. Perched atop a private 3-acre lot and bordering the Carson National Forest, this stunning home offers panoramic views of Taos Valley, Taos Mountain, and the Sangre de Cristo range—an inspiring vista from sunrise to sunset. Located just minutes from historic downtown Taos and a scenic drive to Taos Ski Valley, this rare offering blends seclusion with convenience in one of the area’s most sought-after settings. Thoughtfully sited among native trees and dramatic rock outcroppings, the home has been beautifully remodeled with a contemporary mountain aesthetic and a light-filled, open-concept design. The great room features a dramatic fireplace and expansive picture windows that invite the outdoors in and open onto over 1,700 square feet of decking. Soak in your private hot tub while gazing out over the incredible views, or entertain on the spacious patio surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. A cook’s dream kitchen awaits with new walnut kitchen cabinets and island, top-tier SubZero refrigerator, new Wolf gas cooktop and turbo wall oven/microwave. Additionally, there is a new washer/dryer and second refrigerator/freezer in the ample-sized mudroom. Two generous bedrooms, two elegant spa-like bathrooms, and a separate office space complete the interior layout—ideal for full-time living or a high-end getaway. Meticulously maintained with numerous updates, including newer septic system (for 3 bedrooms in case you want to build on), energy-efficient systems, natural gas, Hunter Douglas blinds throughout, radiant heat and two mini-split units in the bedrooms to keep you cool. The gated driveway ensures privacy and security, while the two-car garage and storage shed provide plenty of room for all your outdoor equipment and toys. Abundant wildlife completes the mountain living experience. This home is more than just a residence—it’s a private sanctuary with all the comforts of luxury living and the beauty of northern New Mexico at your doorstep. Truly a rare gem in the heart of Taos.
