66 Rainbow Circle
Imagine waking up to sunshine pouring across your floors and mountains filling every window, then deciding whether today is for skiing, hiking, fishing, or simply soaking it all in. At 66 Rainbow Circle, adventure is part of everyday life. Set on 1.8 peaceful acres beneath the wide-open Northern New Mexico sky, this home soaks up nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, with the Sangre de Cristos to the east and the Tusas to the west calling you out to explore. A nearly 50-foot wall of south-facing windows makes the outdoors feel like part of the home. Mornings start with coffee in one of the two sunrooms, warm and bright even in the heart of winter, while you plan the day’s outing. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow naturally together, perfect for gathering after a big day out. The primary suite is tucked away as a quiet retreat with its own bath, and two more bedrooms are set apart for visiting friends, a home office, or a creative studio. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and about 1,600 square feet, the home feels comfortable without ever feeling crowded. This is a home built to welcome you back. The original 1997 pumice-crete walls, an R-38 ceiling, and a super-insulated 1999 addition hold in the warmth, while radiant floor heating thaws you out after a day on the slopes. A metal roof means less to worry about, and the oversized heated garage, with its own 220-volt power, has room for skis, bikes, rafts, and every piece of gear you own, plus space for a workshop or studio. Outside, the adventure slows to an easy pace. Flagstone paths wind past aspens, hollyhocks, garden beds, and a soothing water feature, leading to shady benches made for slow afternoons. Summer evenings belong under the ramada, swapping stories with friends as the sky turns gold and then fills with stars. Water has been thoughtfully routed across the property, so adding more gardens or a few fruit trees is easy to imagine. From here, the best of Northern New Mexico is close at hand. You’re minutes from the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, 15 minutes to Questa, 30 minutes to the slopes and trails of Red River, 45 minutes to Taos, and under an hour to Taos Ski Valley. Spend the day chasing powder, hiking mountain trails, or fishing the Rio Grande, then come home to quiet, space, and sky. As a bonus, the seller is offering up to $10,000 in concessions toward closing costs and/or an interest rate buy-down, subject to lender approval and an acceptable offer.
