Welcome to what is arguably the best property in the Greater World Community! Set at the end of Lone Tree Lane, a peaceful dead-end road winding through the high mesa, the home sits on a natural rise, offering wide, unobstructed views of Taos Mountain. The main house features two bedrooms… Read More and a light-filled bathroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, beautiful wood finishes, and a chandelier for a touch of elegance. The living room is anchored by a grand Rumford fireplace with a smooth mica plaster, complemented by Saltillo tile floors, rough-sawn wood ceilings with beams, real adobe-plastered walls, and a built-in planter perfect for vegetables, flowers, or even tropical plants. The open kitchen includes resin-poured butcher block countertops, custom locally built cabinets with glass inlay, a high-efficiency fridge, and cast iron hardware. With floor-to-ceiling windows lining the south side, the home is passively heated and completely off-grid. A stained concrete patio welcomes you to the home, offering an ideal space for outdoor dining or relaxing while taking in the views. Mature and established Russian Olive trees are placed around the patio and entrance for shade and green screens. The attached guest house includes a full kitchen, bathroom, living room, and one bedroom, along with its own wraparound patio. Pine wood floors complement the kitchen and bedroom, while the living space features Saltillo tile and a wood stove. The flexible layout lets you keep the guest house separate, rent it out, or open it up to create a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. This home was built to endure the harshest outdoor conditions, surpassing the building codes in place at the time of construction. Its strength comes from concrete bond beams, thousands of dirt compacted tires, lath, concrete plaster, adobe plaster, adobe bricks, oversized timbers, and extra roof insulation. The rear dirt berm adds significant thermal mass, harnessing the earth's natural efficiency to create exceptional insulation. Unlike traditional frame-built homes, the labor and craftsmanship invested in this property are extraordinary—a true labor of love designed to stand the test of time and provide comfort for generations to come. A stucco privacy wall defines the property, creating windbreaks and seclusion. There’s also a standalone 10x12 studio, perfect for an office, art space, or extra storage. The home is entirely off-grid, powered by solar, with rainwater catchment systems feeding buried cisterns, passive solar heating, and a greywater system for irrigation. This one-of-a-kind (seriously!) home is surrounded by community land, ideal for long walks and soaking in the natural beauty. Custom-built from top to bottom, it’s not just a house—it’s a piece of art that will treat you well if you do the same. Step inside and you won’t want to leave. Read Less
