310 Ortiz Street
Flexible By Design. Exceptional By Location. Just a five-minute walk from Taos Plaza and Kit Carson Park, 310 Ortiz Street is a rare in-town adobe compound offering exceptional flexibility, privacy, and authentic Southwest character on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac. With more than 4,000 square feet across a main residence, attached lock-off guest quarters, detached casita, and separate workshop, this distinctive property adapts effortlessly to the way people live today: multigenerational living, creative retreat, hosting, rental income, work-from-home flexibility, or full-time luxury living in the heart of Taos. The main residence blends timeless adobe warmth with thoughtful modern updates. A dramatic great room features soaring ceilings, custom woodwork, arched openings, built-in shelving, wood floors, Saltillo tile, and a double-sided fireplace anchoring the living and dining spaces that open to multiple patios and lush adobe-walled gardens shaded by a magnificent Siberian elm, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The recently renovated gourmet kitchen is designed for gathering, with custom cabinetry, generous prep space, extensive storage, walk-in pantry, large center island, and coveted AGA range. Natural light fills the space with garden views throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private sitting area, walk-in closet, and beautifully remodeled bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. An adjacent office, studio, or bonus room provides additional flexibility. Connected yet privately accessed, the attached guest quarters function almost as a second home, complete with separate entrance, private patio, kitchen, living and dining area, fireplace, full bath, and bedroom with French doors opening to a covered patio and fountain courtyard. Ideal for guests, extended family, caretaker quarters, or income-producing use. Across the front courtyard, the detached casita features vaulted ceilings, wood floors, built-in shelving, and a ¾ bath, making it equally suited as guest accommodations, artist studio, office, or private retreat. A separate workshop with exterior access adds even more versatility. The fully enclosed grounds include mature landscaping, xeriscaping, adobe privacy walls, brick walkways, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and four off-street parking spaces, including attached carports. Properties with this level of flexibility, privacy, and walkable in-town location rarely become available in Taos. 310 Ortiz Street offers a unique opportunity to live, host, create, and invest all in one remarkable property.
