Overview
House, 4 Bedrooms + 2 Baths (sleeps up to 12)
This very large house (3500 sq ft) will accomodate large parties of visitors. Has the feel of the out doors, since it is located amidst 20 acres of scenic views but with short distance to down town areas. Recently retired health care professional/masseuse, (kids are grown) wanting to have others experience the joy of Taos living while he is gone to timeshares at other locations. Need a get away from Albuquerque or some other crowded metropolis? Just pack a small case of clothes and come ready to share my home away from home in the magical Land of Enchantment. Santa Fe has nothing on Taos (except for crowds.) A 900 year old pueblo and museums that chronicle its history on the Santa Fe Trail. This part of the southwest is much older than the rest of the United States. Kit Carson is buried in our local cemetery. A 650 foot bridge spans the Rio Grande River leaves you with vistas that are similar to the Grande Canyon. Had the best snow in the southern Rockies last season.
Keywords: Large Hacienda, trimmed w/Cedar and other woods, vigas, isolated but close to town, hiking, galleries, full kitchen seats 12 comfortably, spacious rooms, value but sumptuous.
About The Owner
Individual who loves to travel (4 to 5 times a year.) I build custom furniture which is used throughout the house. Homeowner has lived within this community for 40 years and loves to share his favorite places with visiting guests. I grew up in Albuquerque. My wife also owns rental properties, so we just go to one of our other places when someone uses this house.
The Owner purchased this house in 1994
Why The Owner chose New Mexico
I have been a Professional in Taos since 1974 and am available to give you insight into how to be a visitor but be as knowledgeable as a local. .
What makes this house unique
I use wood fires as a SUPPLEMENT to heat this house in the winter, so it is very energy efficient. The wood in this house will amaze you (vigas, floors, cedar cabinets and beams.) Located within walking distance of the most photographed church (St Frances of Asisi) in northern NM you are adjacent to National Forest, Ranchos Plaza, or downtown activities.
Guestbook comments from the owner
My three month stay for a work contract at a hospital in the community was a delight. I felt like part of the family in my home away from home. I plan on coming again for future contracts. I especially liked the country feel and the peace and quiet, since I was working the night shifts during my stay.

Spacious and lovely adobe home near Taos.
The house is an authentic adobe and has beautiful viga ceilings. The fully equipped kitchen is conveniently located and the very long custom made dinning table makes eating and visiting comfortable. The four bed rooms are comfortable and private. Comfortable is the key description of the home. The views of from either covered porch are breathtaking. I took beautiful pictures of the sun rising over the mountains. The owner responded immediately to questions and quickly resolved any issues. I would love to stay there again.
Big and spacious, enough room for everyone
If you're looking for a house rental that's close to everything, this is the place. Plenty of room for everyone, has WIFI, a hot tub and cable TV. Owner still lives at the house but we didn't mind the stuff that were still there.
Great for big family gatherings
Host was very gracious and informative. He called multiple times to inform us when available and updates. We had a wonderful time. Everything you could imagine is there at the house. Just bring food and your clothes!
perfect for our extended family
This is a large home that had enough room for all 7 of us plus our dog. In addition to the four bedrooms, the kitchen and living room are large gathering spaces, brightened by skylights. The home is comfortable and you can tell the owner lives there when he's not renting it out, but that didn't bother us at all--on the contrary, he left helpful notes about any potentially confusing aspects of life in his home (how to open the damper in the chimney, where to find extra blankets, etc.), and invited us to call if we needed more information. We recommend staying here if you have a large group and want a roomy, comfortable space. An additional plus is that the kitchen has everything you need to cook for your group.
We had a great experience with a great host!
Robert, made us feel very welcome and was very professional and courteous! We will be back for sure!
Ski Sipapu- 4 families/friends
This was a wonderful house with a gorgeous view of the mountains. It was spacious enough to allow four families to fit comfortably, come together as a group, and sleep in private quarters. The open kitchen dining area was conducive to our large group as well. Skylights, fireplace, wood burning stove, abundance of wood, cookware/spices, large yard, long covered porch, and jacuzzi were much enjoyed ammenities. It is clean with plenty of towels provided. This is not an empty rental, owners belongings and personal effects were around, so it felt more like we were staying with a relative. The owner was very helpful with our stay. It is very close to Taos and just ~30 min drive to the Sipapu Ski Resort. We would love to stay here again.
Location
Taos Ski Valley is the premier ski area in the Southern Rockies and is located 45 minutes from this location. There are four other ski areas within the surrounding Sangre de Christo area (Red River, Angel Fire, Sipapu, and Ski Santa Fe.) In fact, Sipapu which is the smallest and most family friendly is only 15 minutes away via one of the most scenic roads in Northern New Mexico (Highway 518.). In summertime there are hiking trails within short distance. The Santa Fe National Forest is within walking distance of this property. Taos cultural events like art galleries, live theatre, museums (Kit Carson), and plaza based dances are all things that can be done under the wonderful blue skies. Many visitors come for the cool temperatures in summer (max 85 with very little humidity) or head to the even cooler temperatures as you go up onto the mountain peaks that surround the community. Eagle Nest lake and Abiquiu lake are both located within an hour of town. Rio Grande River is near. Lots of fresh powder in the winter months. Get your skis ready
