Situated within Taos’ highly sought-after Historic District, this exceptional multi-level adobe property honors the area’s rich cultural heritage while offering refined modern livability. The Upper House was formerly the cantina for La Loma Plaza and is ideally located within walking distance to the Historic Taos Plaza, shopping, and dining. The… Read More property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Taos history, thoughtfully adapted for contemporary living. The Upper House, originally built in the late 1800s to early 1900s just outside the original Taos Plaza walls, was carefully and completely remodeled in 2001 with deep respect for its historic character, scale, and setting. Rich architectural details include original vigas, coved ceilings, and authentic adobe brick construction on three sides. Interior finishes reflect timeless Southwestern elegance with diamond-finished plaster walls, wood floors, Saltillo tile baths, and a kiva fireplace faithfully replicated from the original design. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and a four-piece bath, complemented by a powder room and in-unit washer and dryer. The Lower Home, constructed in 2006, was intentionally designed to complement the Historic District with appropriate massing, materials, and architectural continuity. Offering exceptional versatility, the first level includes a guest suite or bonus living area with a bedroom, two large closets, a three-piece bath with a stackable washer/dryer, a kitchen and dining area, and a spacious storage room, all accented by Saltillo tile floors. The second level features a generous primary suite, a flexible living space upon entry, such as a study with a closet or a potential additional bedroom, a large bedroom with a four-piece en-suite bathroom, and direct patio access. Wood floors and 9–10-foot wood beam ceilings throughout add warmth, volume, and character. Outdoor living is a defining feature of the property. Flagstone portals and stairways with embedded fossils, brick-paved patios, viga and latilla ceilings, and a kiva fireplace on the upper portal create inviting spaces for year-round enjoyment. A second-floor deck captures mountain views, while the upper portal and patio offer sweeping sunset vistas and a unique, elevated, treehouse-like ambiance. The fully fenced property includes a remote-controlled driveway gate, parking for four or more vehicles, and mature landscaping both outside and within the pedestrian gate. Both homes were built by respected local builder Jim Pollard and designed by architect Sharon Porter, reflecting a cohesive vision aligned with Historic District standards and the timeless architectural traditions of Taos. Beyond the property, enjoy easy access to renowned cultural and recreational destinations, including walking distance to historic Taos Plaza and nearby activities such as Taos Pueblo, Taos Ski Valley, hiking, rafting, biking, and golf. Taos Regional Airport offers direct flights from several U.S. cities, enhancing both accessibility and lifestyle appeal. NOTE: The fire in the fireplaces is virtually staged. Seller currently occupies the property full-time and requests an extended closing, anticipated for late summer.
