Just steps from The Carson National Forest, along the High Road to Taos, one will find this charming property in the community of Ojo Sarco. Originally built as a pottery studio, the house was extensively remodeled in 2019 to include a large living room, dining room and kitchen, and new baths. Porcelain tile was added in the entry and laminated wood flooring throughout. The kitchen has tall red birch cabinets, solid surface and granite counters, stainless appliances and a large pantry. This area of the home is bright and sunny with large passive solar windows. A woodstove sits at the end of this space, for cozy winter evenings. The home has a flexible floorplan, and for those seeking a separate space for relatives or a tenant, the guest bedroom features a kitchenette, a sitting area, and has a private entry. The owners suite has colorful porcelain tile, and a sitting/office area with large windows, and remodeled bath. Last year the owners installed a mini-split heating system, with heat and air conditioning, and LED lights. The outdoor spaces are inviting, with shady portals and a flagstone patio, surrounded by raised planting beds, and a dozen young fruit trees. One can listen to the flagstone water fountain, look out at the expansive meadow, well established for bird watching. The property is nurturing and private, and is sheltered, with large juniper, conifer and oak trees, separate meadows for animals or wildflowers, but also has long range views of the mountains.
The areas to the north between Santa Fe and Taos possess some of the most spectacular and varied landscapes in New Mexico. Beautiful communities line the Taos Gorge and the Rio Grande like Espanola, Velarde & Dixon along what is called the ‘Low Road’ to Taos.
The ‘High Road’ is a scenic, winding road through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that runs between Santa Fe and Taos.
