THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS This quality home offers a mountain setting w/ stream and the convenience of being 2.5 miles to Taos. This 4BR/4BA 3,100 sq. ft home of rastra construction sits on 5.47 +/- ac. bordering USFS and offers so much! The great room has lofty ceilings and beams, a welcoming living room w/ corner kiva fireplace, an ample dining area, and a deluxe kitchen w/ Wolf range & oven and large Sub-Zero refrigerator plus an island for casual dining. Windows bring light in and give a view of the towering trees and dramatic skies. The downstairs master suite has French doors leading to the covered portal and boasts a bath w/ a grand Jacuzzi tub plus separate shower for your spa experience. You'll appreciate the split floor plan w/ 2 other bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs plus a nice laundry area w/ storage. Upstairs is a large family room for lounging and watching TV, playing board games, and working out or use as a grand office. The 4th bedroom and bath are upstairs. More windows bring in more mountain views and there's more storage too. Oh, and there's a 2-car heated garage w/ workbench and mechanical room housing the boiler for the sub-floor radiant heat downstairs and the baseboard heat up. Sit under the portals in front enjoying the alpine feel and watch the weather over the mountains. The field below could house a horse or two. Whether you're going to town to shop, to dine, to gallery hop, or take in a movie, you're literally only 5-10 min.
