New-construction site-built house! 2-bed, 1-bath single-family home with a spacious loft in the primary bedroom. Situated on 6 acres of sagebrush, 3 of which can be split off and sold. House is just past the Gorge Bridge in a quiet, friendly and easy-to-get-to location. Open kitchen, dining and living area with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, large island to casually gather with friends and family, dining area for more formal meals, living room with beautiful wood-burning stove. Explosive views of the Sangre de Cristos to the east and south, and a relaxing 20-minute walk to the West Rim Trail and National Monument for post-meal strolls, meditation or an intense run or bike, all with the splendor of the Gorge right beside you. The house is closer to everything in the Taos area than you think! 4 minutes to the Gorge Bridge. 15 down to the river and Taos Junction bridge, a fraction of the time it takes from town. Relax or paddle all year long, or go for a swim on hot summer days. Under 20 minutes to Cid's and a fraction more to Taos Plaza. 35 to the Ski Valley. 25 to Ojo Caliente Spa. The same distance to Santa Fe as from town, down the back way on 285 instead of through Taos Canyon. House is 100% off-grid. Sustainable living with brand-new systems in place. Windows flanking the east and south walls maximize solar gain. Recent single-digit temperatures were greeted with a shrug once the sun came out-house was north of 70 degrees by mid morning with the brand-new Rinnai propane heater set to the low 60's. Other features include an on-demand heater for lightning-fast hot water. 2.4kW of solar with battery storage for overnight usage and to provide multiple days of electricity those few times of year when the area is socked in. TaosNet wireless Internet (the relay station is practically next door, providing reliable high-speed internet to flawlessly stream and Zoom). Water catchment with gutters that direct monsoonal rains and winter snow into a 2500-gallon cistern, ample water storage to get you through dry spells; new UV and sediment filters purify the water as it comes inside. Metal roof and siding that should last 40-50 years. High quality double-pane windows, insulated slab flooring, deep 2x6 walls with R-21 insulation, and R-49 in the roof to keep it warmer in the winter and cooler in summer. Solar system, kitchen appliances, propane heater, hot water heater and septic-every part of the house is brand-new. Beautiful wood stove enhances the expansive view, and also keeps your propane costs low in winter. Laundry hook ups for full-size stackable washer and dryer. Large attic with view down to the kitchen and living room; use it for storage or whatever fits your lifestyle. Huge primary bedroom with loft and window with a classic New Mexican sunset view (note that neither the bedroom loft nor the attic space is included in the house's square footage; the home feels and is much larger than its stated size). 6 total acres of sagebrush, all yours, awaiting your green thumb to add shade trees, other exterior landscaping, or even another house or two if that's something you'd like to do to generate rental income (and provide a place for some locals to live-we need all the housing we can get!). Alternatively, you can split off and sell 3 of the 6 acres to offset some of the purchase price. Local Taos builder with decades of experience building and living in off-grid homes throughout Taos County, including his own primary residence and other properties in the immediate West Rim area. The most house and land you can find at this price, built with the same quality materials and expert tradespeople as homes twice the cost.
