Solar Warmth and Authentic Taos Character ~ Set against direct mountain views on 1.49 acres, this well-maintained, on-grid hybrid Earthship delivers sustainable high-desert living with a highly functional footprint. Accessed via quiet backroads but just minutes from town and the Taos Plaza, the property serves as an easy home base for hiking, biking, skiing Taos Ski Valley, or exploring the Rio Grande. The straightforward 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plan includes a third bedroom that currently functions as a versatile flex room—an ideal setup for an artist studio, home office, yoga, meditation, or workout space. Massive windows flood the interior with natural light, utilizing passive solar energy to keep the house efficiently warm. Inside, the sun catches the rich interior woodwork, which blends perfectly with the warm Saltillo floors and tasteful Talavera tile to evoke true New Mexico character, all accented by classy lighting fixtures. The exterior features a fully enclosed backyard, a smaller walled patio for entertaining, a convenient carport, and a handy storage shed, all with plenty of acreage left untouched if you ever want to add a guest house or second structure.
