Description
This 2bed/2bath double-adobe with attached guest house on 2 acres is truly one-of-a-kind. Built in 1981 and nestled into a secluded pinon-juniper clad 2-acre lot at the south end of Canon this home sits above the reservoir and is a home like no other. From the circular drive, you walk up to two separate walled and gated courtyards one for the main house and one with a distinctive trapezoidal gate for the guest house; a wide wrap-around portal along two long sides sets up perfect spots to relax with the view or to entertain guests; at the north end you get a spacious two-car garage and at the south end of the lot is a gazebo; across the lane on the east side there is enough land to add a studio or workshop or a corral. Inside you will quickly exclaim at the amazing wood work that speaks to an earlier, slower time, when craftsmanship and care were paramount: almost every room has a unique door, many inscribed with the initials of the maker; you will spot one with a cut- glass screen; another with a reclaimed medallion from faraway history; a pair floral stained glass windows provide colorful accents to the primary bedroom; secretive nichos are scattered about and large picture windows with deep windowsills show off views in every direction. Fireplaces in the living room and the primary bedroom will keep you cozy and the sunroom off the living room will help your orchids or your ferns or some other herbage thrive in the desert while also acting as a solar heat sink - come winter. For the past ten years this home has been used both a short-term rental (main house) and a long -term rental (guesthouse) yet with so much character and story built into it, you will find yourself leaving your heart in your new home in the Taos Valley.
