Casa De Vista

Description: The land of enchantment is depicted in this classic territorial double-walled adobe home. Warm, mud plaster walls with massive viga and latilla ceilings and rich flagstone floors throughout. There are three kiva fireplaces with bancos located in the living room, master bedroom and second downstairs bedroom. There are 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Downstairs has a living room, complete with kiva fireplace, and plenty of windows to enjoy the views of El Salto Mountain and Truchas Peak. The country style kitchen has a dining area framed by a large picture window looking out to the walled gardens and mountain views. A high-ceilinged hallway leads to the two additional bedrooms and baths. The downstairs bedroom has a day bed with trundle and a bunk bed (accommodates 4 people) while the kiva fireplace bedroom has a king size bed. Glass patio doors open onto a walled south patio area with gardens set off both of these bedrooms.

The upstairs master suite is romatic and spacious, with expansive windows that capture views to the east, the west, and the north. A cozy kiva fireplace, a queen size bed, a large bath, and walk-in closet compliment this area. Glass patio doors lead onto a wonderful deck area complete with a sunken hot tub and magnificent unobstructed views of the sunsets and the ancient western panorama.

There is a heated two car garage with washer and dryer. The garage also contains a rack for ski storage. Other amenities include a TV, VCR, microwave, dishwasher, and CD/tape player.

The home is decorated with antiques that reflect not only the old adobe style but the folk art of Taos. We have dishes and linens to accommodate 8 people comfortably.

We welcome and appreciate non-smokers.
