This unique monolithic dome home is a must-see, just twenty minutes northwest of Taos! Boasting a twelve-acre parcel, space and privacy are in no short supply with the sturdy, mature pines surrounding the home, a gently rolling hillside and an open pasture with many possibilities, like grazing horses or building your own garden. There is also a second build site within the twelve acres for adding another building if desired. Because a monolithic dome is well-built and insulated, this home is energy-efficient, disaster-proof, virtually maintenance-free, durable, and cost-efficient. Inside, enjoy an open den and dining area with a wood-burning stove, and a galley-style kitchen with ample counter space for preparing delicious meals; extra counter space easily accessed from the kitchen and dining area is an ideal place for a coffee bar or mixing drinks for guests. A separate laundry room with an outdoor laundry line makes chores a breeze! And never get caught in the snow or rain with the convenient built-in mudroom from the two-car garage. This home includes two guest rooms with a separate full bathroom, as well as a private primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom with several amenities, such as large cabinets and closet, bidet, and a separate vanity space for getting ready. A spacious office/living area with built-in bookshelves and its own wood-burning stove leads out onto a tastefully landscaped backyard with incredible, unobstructed views of the Southern Rockies. Follow the winding, flagstone pathways trimmed by lovely, crushed quartz to the large deck with plenty of room to set up an outdoor lounge area or hot tub, or to the climate-controlled root cellar, perfect for storing the bounty from your garden! With a private well, substantial underground propane tank, large back-up generator and hook-ups for installing solar, this is a great property for someone who is keen to take charge of their own sustainability. Set yourself comfortably outside the norm with this statement home at 49 Padilla Trail!
