Rare opportunity to acquire the KTAO Solar Center commercial venue, one of Taos’ most recognizable cultural gathering places, offered with a transferable full liquor license and extraordinary long-term income potential. Set on approximately 3 acres with an 11,200 sq. ft. adobe venue and parking for approximately 202 cars, this landmark property sits along the highly traveled corridor between the Town of Taos, Taos Ski Valley, and the Taos Regional Airport, with protected views bordering Pueblo lands. Known for decades as a celebrated solar-powered destination, the property offers a rare blend of hospitality, entertainment, food and beverage, private event, and community-use opportunities. The venue includes indoor and outdoor event areas, restaurant and bar infrastructure, a solar kitchen, tiki bar, indoor stage, music pavilion, dance floor, sound-ready performance areas, fireplaces, wood-burning stove, vigas, radiant heat, and distinctive Southwest/Earthship-inspired character. Current owners use facility for offices of the KTAO Radio Station. The property is currently positioned as a year-round community hub for live music, concerts, festivals, comedy nights, sports viewing, après-ski gatherings, weekly entertainment, food and drink specials, fundraisers, markets, cultural programming, and private events. Existing venue uses demonstrate multiple potential revenue streams, including ticketed shows, bar and restaurant operations, catering, weddings, conferences, company parties, birthdays, graduations, quinceañeras, nonprofit events, art/vendor markets, brand activations, sponsor partnerships, radio station/studio and community celebrations. With capacity for 400+ guests, the property offers scale rarely found in Northern New Mexico. Its location between town and the ski valley creates strong appeal for locals, visitors, artists, promoters, destination event planners, hospitality operators, and investors seeking a high-visibility venue with built-in identity and expansion potential. KTAOS is widely recognized for its heritage and regional brand association, including a history tied to solar innovation and a 300-mile broadcast reach; however, the radio station broadcast rights/assets are not included in this offering. The radio station may be available separately for an undisclosed amount. That would included a large radius of 300 plus miles with three towers. Owners can provide financials and estimates of all the businesses to potential buyers. The commercial venue, real property, event infrastructure, and liquor license are the focus of this sale. A truly unique Taos opportunity blending culture, entertainment, hospitality, solar legacy, and community connection. Ideal for a buyer seeking to continue the property’s celebrated use or reimagine it as a premier Northern New Mexico event, restaurant, bar, music, wedding, and destination venue. Current Tenants are on a yearly lease and would like to continue listing from the new owners if possible.
