Free Yourself from Fossil Fuel! Discover this exceptional ranch-style home nestled on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped high-desert land in Taos, New Mexico — where thoughtful craftsmanship, energy independence, and Southwest living come together in perfect harmony. Built in 2016 to International Residence Code standards and annexed… Read More into the Town of Taos in early 2026, this 1,860 sq ft single-story residence offers three spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an open floor plan flooded with natural light. With 9-foot ceilings throughout, crown molding, and warm Knotty Alder cabinetry, every detail speaks to quality and comfort. THE HEART OF THE HOME The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is made for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features a generous 50" × 70" island with seating for three, a walk-in pantry, under-cabinet lighting, dual deep sinks, and a full suite of included appliances — gas range with convection oven, dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker, washer, and dryer. The living room anchors the space with an instant-on gas fireplace with a tiled raised hearth, and French doors open to a sprawling covered rear patio. BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS The primary suite offers a peaceful 14' × 16' retreat with east-facing windows for morning light and night-sky views, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like en suite bathroom. The primary bath features dual sinks on a composite counter, Knotty Alder cabinetry with nine drawers, a custom-tiled step-in shower with dual shower heads and a sitting bench, and dual linen cabinets. Two additional bedrooms — each 175 sq ft with walk-in closets — share a well-appointed secondary bath. ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND OFF GRID CAPABILITY This home is built for resilience and low operating costs. Superb insulation — R-60 ceiling, R-24 walls, R-28 floor — combines with high-efficiency forced-air natural gas heating and a passive solar sunroom (200 sq ft with concrete pavers and insulated floor) to keep utility costs remarkably low. The 5 kW solar panel system with 8 kW hybrid inverter and 20 kWh battery storage can be grid-tied or run the entire property off-grid. Optical fiber internet extends to both home and garage. THE GARAGE, A STANDOUT FEATURE The detached 30' × 40' × 14' garage (1,200 sq ft) is a rare find. It accommodates RVs up to 32 feet, features two insulated overhead doors (10'×8' and 10'×12'), an EV charging receptacle (NEMA 14-50, 40A), a 3/4 bathroom, natural gas heating, a utility sink, on-demand water heater, storage loft, built-in heavy-duty shelving, and two skylights. It even includes a 20 HP Craftsman riding mower and air compressor with hose reel. OUTDOOR LIVING Enjoy over 1,200 sq ft of composite Trex™ decking, including a front covered porch (11' × 22'), a rear covered patio (10' × 40'), and a west-side open deck. The fully fenced .90-acre lot features a drive-through gravel driveway with an electric remote gate (solar-powered) and a manual gate — both 14 feet wide. The landscape is a gardener's delight: peach, pear, cherry, and almond trees; ponderosa and piñon pines; aspen groves; lilac, elderberry, raspberry, and rose bushes; and a 12' × 28' walk-in greenhouse/hoop house with irrigation serving 95% of planted areas. A dedicated compost system rounds out this productive, xeriscape-friendly lot. LOCATION AND UTILITIES Served by a professionally managed community water system with 65+ years of reliable operation, a new septic system (2016), NM Gas Company, Kit Carson Electric Cooperative, and Kit Carson fiber-optic internet. Pending R-4 zoning upon town annexation accommodates a future accessory dwelling unit. No HOA. Read Less
