Improved Mixed-Use Land for Sale in Taos, New Mexico
939 Kit Carson Rd, Taos, NM 87571
A rare and soulful Northern New Mexico compound, this extraordinary property blends history, artistry, and lifestyle in a way few offerings can. Created by acclaimed Sculptor Thom Wheeler, the main home and gallery spaces are built of authentic adobe and defined by massive pine vigas harvested from Wheeler Peak and hand-hewn by Wheeler himself. Throughout the property, irreplaceable architectural details and storied artisan pieces create a setting of warmth, character, and distinction, including stained glass windows sourced from churches across America and the original fight bell from Madison Square Garden. The main residence offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, while the guest house features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with separate private entrances, creating flexibility for extended living, guest accommodations, boutique hospitality, or a refined live/work compound. Rich with heritage, the property also includes an adobe structure dating to 1840, built by Juan Santistevenson, adding yet another layer of authenticity and cultural significance. Set on two separately deeded lots totaling nearly 1.7 acres, the grounds are equally captivating. A 3 acre-foot well, surface water rights, and an acequia running through the property enhance both beauty and value. Near the acequia, an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area create an unforgettable setting for gatherings beneath the New Mexico sky. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, the possibilities are exceptional: an elegant private residence, gallery or studio compound, boutique inn or B&B, event venue, or investment opportunity with future subdivision potential. Timeless, inspiring, and deeply rooted in place, this is more than a property-it is an experience.
