The Essence of Northern New Mexico ~ Colorful, Peaceful, Natural & Enchanting are just a few feelings one experiences when laying eyes, and stepping foot inside vibrant 38 Del Norte located within the highly coveted Upper Colonias neighborhood in charming Taos. From the first encounter with this private and conveniently situated property on just under an acre of land, surrounded by lush and mature greenery, it will feel as if you are deep in the alpine forest, when in reality you re actually in your own yard, sipping morning coffee around the Koi pond, taking in the direct view of Taos Mountain. There won t be a better feeling, and it could be one that you repeat daily. Better yet, the Historic Taos Plaza, and some of the best dining experiences in the region are down the road, and Taos Ski Valley isn't much further. The home itself is custom, custom, custom as can be with some of the most elegant and intricate finish work boasting traditional Southwestern finishes; 4 grand bancito kiva fireplaces, and numerous archways artistically inlaid with classic Mexican tile, on the ceilings oiled vigas with split herringbone cedar planks, knotted beams, and efficient lighting throughout. Each of the bedrooms offer a plethora of space, and each of the bathrooms have been tastefully reimagined with high-end selections, particularly the one off the primary ensuite with its own dedicated patio with a HotSpring hot tub. The kitchen is a chef's dream, and the dining room's open concept living room is where you will spend most of your time looking out at your miniature forest with the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range in the background. The bonus room will serve as a fantastic art, yoga, potter studio or whatever your heart desires. Homes like this, that represent the full essence of New Mexico, are a rare find. Some photos have been virtually staged. Reach out to see for yourself.
