Perched above the south rim of the Ranchos Valley in Llano Quemado, this rare circa 1904 hacienda has been lovingly stewarded into the modern age with care and taste. We present a 2493 sq ft, 2 bed/2bath main house that also includes a secluded office with its own entrance and kiva style fireplace set on 2.6 acres with water rights. From Hot Springs road, the driveway curves up the hill and then opens up on the mesa to the broad vista of the green and fertile Ranchos Valley below you. You enter the compound through a traditional zaguan to a serene courtyard with an emerald lawn and a deep wrap- around portal that is your outdoor living room. With the towers of the renowned St. Francis de Assisi church in the foreground and Taos Mountain as a backdrop this is a view that is one-of-kind. Almost every room has a door to the exterior but you enter the home through the kitchen/dining room. Throughout you will find thick sculpted adobe walls that frame large windows with unobstructed views of the sunrise and sunset and the Taos Mountain-scape; warm brick, hardwood, and flagstone floors, vigas, latilla clad ceilings, kiva style fireplaces, and custom built-in cabinetry greet you in almost every room. Sleek yet functional Runtal baseboard units are easy on the eye and ensure cozy winter living. At the other end of the portal a detached 823 sq ft studio/guest apartment can be an in-law unit, a place for guests or adult kids or a source of income. Sold furnished, this is a remarkable opportunity to make your home in a piece of old Taos with easy access to Santa Fe and to the center of Taos while keeping the sounds and feel of the bucolic Ranchos valley.
