293 South Carson rd
Wonderfully unconventional and full of character, this one-of-a-kind Carson retreat is tucked into a mature piñon forest on 6.25 private acres. Territorial style meets artistic ingenuity in this two-story home, where straw-bale and post-and-beam construction, vaulted ceilings, adobe walls, antique pressed tin, and wrought-iron accents create a distinctly Northern New Mexico feel. The inviting living room centers around a wood stove. The oversized artist's studio steals the show, with soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in. It could also make an inspiring third bedroom. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a half bath, an open loft, and a generous balcony overlooking the courtyard round out the living spaces. Outside, a detached straw-bale workshop with electricity, heat, and an attached greenhouse offers space for creative pursuits, projects, or future possibilities. Multiple storage sheds add practical utility, while a six-foot-walled courtyard provides a private setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, and keeping the dogs happily contained—with raised garden beds protected from curious rabbits and wandering deer. Just 25 miles from Taos and 16 miles from Ojo Caliente, the thriving and intimate community of Carson offers a quieter pace without sacrificing access to Northern New Mexico's best. For the creatively inclined, the nature-loving, or anyone allergic to ordinary, this is a place to make your own.
