Tucked away in a whispering forest of towering Ponderosa Pines, this pueblo-style home invites you to embrace the mountain lifestyle. The home sits on 4.55 acres of land with many opportunities for growth. Sunlight reaches through the latilla portal and creates a great space to spend time outdoors. A covered portion of the portal assures you can enjoy the outdoors in any weather scenario. Inside you will find two wood burning kiva fireplaces, saltillo tile floors, vigas, rough sawn lumber ceilings, and large windows in all directions with views of the surrounding forest. This perfectly sized home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms; the primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet, and the guest bedroom is separated by the living room. Radiant floor heating keeps the home toasty during winter months; once you've experienced this type of heating, you'll never want to switch to another heating system! The hot water boiler is new as of 2025! The location of this home is ideal. It is a short drive to the Taos Ski Valley for the best hikes in New Mexico (and skiing, biking of course!), a few minutes from Arroyo Seco, where a local grocery store and restaurants are found, and a quick drive down Hondo Seco Road to access the Rio Grande by the John Dunn Bridge. Sensible covenants (see associated documents) in the area protect your surroundings, and a road maintenance agreement is in place to maintain your access. The topography of the land allows for further structures to be built and maintains privacy, by using the contours of the land to separate the property from its neighbors. A fenced in front yard is perfect for the pups to stretch their legs or keep the deer out! The shed is great for storage; not that the house doesn't have enough closets! Come walk through this property, and you'll see why the owners held on to it as long as they have! Recent upgrades/repairs include a new well pump (2025), new pressure tank (2025), new pressure switch (2025), all new plumbing lines in well house(2025), new whole house filter(2025), new sediment filter (2025), new boiler (2026), and all new plumbing for heating system (2026) in utility room.
