Imagine a thoughtfully designed, spacious, passive solar home nestled in the beautiful and historic Arroyo Hondo valley just minutes from the town of Taos and an easy drive to the ski slopes of Taos Mountain. The country setting of this 3400 square foot two story home on 1.75 acres provides peace of mind at the most reasonable price in the area. The home includes 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ bathrooms, plus a well lit office/studio space, indoor sun room/atrium area, and a partitioned garden room. On the east side of the home, a covered deck area facing Wheeler Peak and Taos Mountain beckons as an outdoor dining spot, a place to share a Bar-B-Que with a really awesome view.

Adobe and pumice construction is covered with beautiful hand worked "diamond" plaster finish. The hues and subtle variations of the walls and floor reflect the natural Taos country setting of the home. Its luminance is at once earthy and radiant, lit and warmed naturally by the sun. Tranquility, warmth, and expansive views are defining characteristics of this spacious solar home. Natural wood countertops, cabinets, beams and supports.  Radiant heated floors.  Many great extra features.

The sun room, with its large windows, runs the length of the south side of the home gathering light and warmth passively during the winter months. Interior adobe walls absorb this energy and release it as warmth after the sun has set. During summer months, the sun traces a higher arc and the energy is reflected by the roof, while the sun room is cooled by ventilating sky lights. The garden room is a partitioned area of the sun room featuring a dirt floor and decking for a Jacuzzi tub. Because of the year round light and warmth in winter, it is the perfect space for an indoor garden, a meditation room, a play place, or an additional studio for painting or throwing pots.
