Sited on 5 forested acres with mature trees and abundant wildlife, 156 Valle Escondido Road is a private mountain retreat where custom architecture, craftsmanship and the natural environment of Northern New Mexico come together with exceptional quality, history and character. Designed by renowned violin maker David Caron and professional cellist… Read More Rebecca Caron, this extraordinary property features 2 distinctive homes, each one inspired with its own sense of style and sophistication. The main residence has the aura of a bespoke mountain lodge, with log-sided construction, soaring vaulted ceilings, dormers, and generous natural light with wide-ranging windows that offer a chance to appreciate the astonishing array of birds and animals on display just outside the home at any moment. Inside, the radiant heated brick and wood floors bring warmth, texture and comfort with a polished patina. The kitchen showcases classic custom cherry cabinetry, tile countertops, and a beneficial butler’s pantry and laundry room. The great room is especially inviting, planned with special attention to acoustics and atmosphere that makes it equally suited to intimate evenings and entertaining, artistic endeavors or musical performances. The main level includes two guest bedrooms and a full bath, while upstairs leads to a spacious primary suite with loft, perfect for relaxing or reading and writing in a home office. The primary bath offers a two-person cast-iron soaking tub and separate shower—a quiet place to unwind after a day spent touring around Taos, adventuring in Angel Fire or exploring the Enchanted Circle. Complementing the approximately 3,200 square foot main home, an expansive outdoor deck meant for outdoor dining and observing the mountain milieu and 2 car garage with noteworthy utility room and storage space provide comfort and convenience throughout the four seasons. A stone’s throw away, a separate approximately 1,500-square-foot secondary chalet expands the possibilities for visitors as well as income and investment potential (No HOA). Originally designed as David Caron’s luthier workshop and currently configured as a fully loaded, recently remodeled guest residence, it offers an open living area and kitchen, two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, wood floors, high ceilings with exposed beams, and a loft with a private deck opening up to valley views. Here, the setting is as much a part of the experience as the architecture and amenities. It is a place designed not simply for comfort and exclusivity, but for living deeply connected to the natural world. Pine forest and aspen trees surround the property, creating a sense of wilderness and a Rocky Mountain way of life defined by freedom, independence and the spirit of the southwest. The result is a New Mexico heritage property with a rare combination of quality, privacy and provenance. A versatile retreat for artists and craftspeople. A refined mountain home for those who value quiet and nature. An intentional destination and gathering place for family and friends. Or simply a chance to own an outstanding piece of northern New Mexico where the forest, sky, and seasons become part of everyday life. Come and discover the beauty of the Land of Enchantment and experience the intersection of architecture, history and lifestyle, and embrace the everlasting art of living out west. Read Less
