44 Arroyo Park Drive
Nestled on a gently sloping parcel in the desirable Blueberry Hill area, this distinctive home blends contemporary design with rich Old World finishes. A Dutch front door with a crackle finish opens into the airy interior. From dark wood beam ceilings to acid-washed concrete floors, every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and artistic expression. Window walls are elegantly dressed in premium plantation shutters, offering effortless light control and classic sophistication. For year-round comfort, three premium mini-split systems provide whisper-quiet, customized climate control. Custom doors, original built-ins, and hand-finished milk paint walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen showcases a mix of unique countertop surfaces, stainless steel appliances, three water stations (including a pot filler and prep sink), and custom cabinetry designed for efficiency. A raised refrigerator enhances ease of use, while a spacious pantry with washer/dryer access sits just beyond charming saloon-style doors. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area features copper-patina concrete floors with inlaid stone accents, a built-in entertainment center with surround sound, and a distinctive corner fireplace. French doors lead to your private sanctuary. The expansive backyard is fully enclosed by a rustic split-rail fence, perfectly framing the beautifully east facing covered back patio—an ideal setting for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining, rain or shine with basalt pavers, a deep firepit, and sweeping views—ideal for outdoor living. The home was built with energy efficiency in mind, utilizing e-crete block construction and passive solar design. Expansive views of Taos Mountain are echoed throughout the home in custom woodwork and unique mountain-inspired window details, first introduced at the front gate and carried throughout the property. The private courtyard offers a serene oasis with latilla accents, creeping thyme, and mature privet and sumac trees. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat featuring corner windows with mountain and pueblo views, plus vertical skylights that bring in abundant natural light. The ensuite bath includes a barrel-vaulted ceiling, limestone tile floors, sandstone countertops, a vessel sink, soaking tub, and a curved walk-in shower with glass block and iridescent tile. A well-appointed guest bedroom offers built-in banco-style storage, dual closets, and multi-directional windows. The guest bath continues the home’s character with a custom wood vanity, walk-in shower, and reclaimed tin ceiling. An attached 400-square-foot studio, accessible from the enclosed entry, includes high ceilings and a slop sink. With its large custom double doors, the space can function as a studio, workshop, or garage. The adjacent lot to the west has been privately secured to preserve sight lines, and the land to the east is part of a conservation easement within the Arroyo Park community, ensuring the natural landscape remains undisturbed and your views stay unobstructed. The property includes an 83sqft well house and a versatile bermed container structure that provides pest free year-round storage for gear or workshop space. The earth-sheltered design enhances durability and energy efficiency while keeping contents protected. The home has been carefully maintained with upgraded parapet protection, including custom-fabricated metal coping caps with ice and water shielding beneath. This system helps prevent moisture intrusion and protects against long-term wear, an important consideration in the Taos climate. Located within Arroyo Park, a thoughtfully planned residential community spanning approximately 54 acres, with an undisturbed landscape by providing a Conservation Easement. This is a rare offering where detail meets modern functionality and craftsmanship, efficiency, and artistic features come together. Don't miss it!
