32 Sugar Lane
An artist’s retreat with room to breathe. Set on a full acre in Lower Las Colonias, 32 Sugar Lane combines mountain views, mature trees, a comfortable three-bedroom home, an expansive detached studio, and the kind of space that’s becoming increasingly hard to find. Covered outdoor living areas create a wonderful sense of privacy, while Taos and Arroyo Seco are both just minutes away. Need more space? two otehr parcels, both with wells are available. Remodeled 2018,-2020 the home is warm and inviting, with tile floors, abundant natural light, and an easy, comfortable flow. The updated kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, while three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office. Mini-split system and baseboard heat keep you cozy on snowy winter mornings and comfortably cool through the summer. A generous mudroom and laundry area connects to the attached garage—exactly the kind of practical space you’ll appreciate after a muddy hike, a day in the garden or an afternoon with the horses. The expansive detached studio adds an entirely different dimension to the property. Equipped with heat, water, electricity and 220-amp power, it’s perfectly suited for pottery, woodworking, welding or whatever creative pursuit has been waiting for enough space. Prefer guests to power tools? Make it your new guest house. Outbuildings, fenced areas for chickens or goats and room for horses only add to the possibilities. Thoughtful systems are already hard at work behind the scenes. Photovoltaic solar panels with net metering send excess electricity back to Kit Carson Electric, and a propane-powered whole-house generator keeps life running smoothly when the power doesn’t. Rainwater catchment and grey-water systems help irrigate the landscape, while a private well and septic complete the picture. Front and back porches invite you outside, whether it’s for coffee at sunrise, dinner with friends, or simply watching the mountains change colors throughout the day. There’s room to garden, keep horses, create art, build furniture, write your novel—or finally start that project you’ve been talking about for years. Some homes ask you to slow down. This one practically hands you the paintbrush, the gardening gloves and a cup of tea and says, “Take your time.”
