An exquisite home and true work of art, Raven’s View is a rare and exceptional offering in Taos, New Mexico. Often described as unparalleled, incomparable, distinctive, and rare, this once-in-a-lifetime property delivers an extraordinary living experience immersed in nature. Nestled on 10 private acres, the residence offers approximately 7,000 square feet, featuring 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, along with breathtaking 360-degree million-dollar views of the El Salto Mountains, Pueblo Peak, and the Truchas Peaks. The setting provides a remarkable sense of peace, comfort, and tranquility, where one feels both protected and elevated above the world. The home was built by highly regarded Taos builder Don Pennington, known locally for his sculptural, custom homes and exceptional craftsmanship. The design was created by owner Mala Mukherji, an author, designer, and healer, who synthesized her life’s work into a physical space deeply interconnected with the harmony and majesty of the surrounding landscape. Intentional design defines every area of the home. Thoughtfully created spaces allow for both solitude and gathering, seamlessly entwined with pine, cedar, and piñon forest, expansive skies, abundant sunlight, and endless views. Private retreats invite rest and contemplation while maintaining a strong connection to the natural beauty outside. The construction and infrastructure reflect the strength and presence of the five sacred peaks surrounding the property. Built with solid metal (STEEL) and (2’ x 8’) wood framing, along with substantial insulation, the home offers exceptional comfort throughout all four seasons. The infrastructure was designed with longevity, efficiency, and comfort in mind, sparing no expense. As Mala states, “One thousand thoughts are behind every inch of this house.” The result is a luxurious yet effortless experience of living in harmony with nature. The home is named for the two ravens believed to have guided and protected each step of its creation. Located at the top of the secluded and exclusive Turley Mill subdivision, the property borders the Carson National Forest, providing endless hiking and trail opportunities. Wildlife is abundant, including elk, mule deer, bobcat, and wild turkeys. Additional features include a private owners’ wing separated from the guest wing by a sheltered upper deck, outdoor hot tub deck, expansive outdoor recreation deck, chef’s kitchen with custom appliances, radiant in-floor heating, extensive storage areas, and an oversized three-car garage. Raven’s View is more than a home—it is a sanctuary, a sculptural masterpiece, and a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary property in Taos. Taos is known for its vibrant art scene, rich Native American and Spanish history, stunning high-desert landscapes (like the Rio Grande Gorge), world-class skiing at Taos Ski Valley, and unique cultural blend, particularly the ancient, inhabited adobe Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a haven for artists, photographers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking unique architecture and Southwestern culture.
