HISTORIC TAOS FARMHOUSE. This classic territorial style real adobe home is over 100 years old, and has been beautifully renovated. Full of character but very tastefully updated with modern conveniences and numerous thoughtful fine features. The complete makeover was completed in 2008 by Cadillac Builders, one of Taos' best. Double thick solid adobe walls keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter. The kitchen and the space above on the second floor are new additions. The kitchen has in-floor radiant heat, fine cabinetry by master woodworker Steve Ninneman (who also did the staircase drawers, the stair railing, and cabinets in the primary bathroom), porcelain tile countertops, a Bertazzoni professional gas range, and two Dutch doors to the back and side yards. The side entrance to the home leads into mudroom and pantry, and then to the kitchen. Many of the interior walls are exquisite traditional mud/straw plaster. Oak and heart pine wood flooring throughout most of the home. The large primary suite upstairs includes a luxurious bathroom with lots of natural light, deep soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, travertine tile, double vanities, and a European style "WC." The walk-in closet is partially cedar-lined, and has an efficient closet system with ample pull-out drawers. Also upstairs is another large multi-purpose space that could be a den, a studio, or exercise/yoga room; part of this space could be converted to a third bedroom. The second full bathroom is upstairs so it would go with the third bedroom. The home sits atop gently sloping two acres of land, and faces south toward the Arroyo Hondo Valley. Water for the home is provided by a community water system; there is also a well, and the property has surface water rights on the Plaza Ditch acequia for irrigating the field. The land has produced 45 bales of hay in years past. The acreage is fully-fenced, and good be good horse property. There are gardens and seven mature apple trees. The 2-car garage also has an attached tack room, plus tool and tractor storage. This authentic farmhouse is located ion a quiet setting just 20 minutes (15 miles) north of downtown Taos. Easy access to Taos Ski Valley, too, via the Hondo-Seco Road. Call for an appointment to see this outstanding property!
