Casa Cielo - Sweeping Mountain Views & Hot Tub

Casa Cielo is a 2,500 sq ft adobe retreat set in a quiet, secluded spot just north of Taos, where privacy, hiking, and incredible mountain and high-desert views come together. Expansive outdoor spaces surround the home, creating plenty of room to relax, dine, and take in the famously colorful Taos sunsets. Gorgeous custom details fill the home, from the traditional kiva fireplace and viga ceilings to the work of local artists displayed throughout, including striking photographs of Taos architecture, people, and landscapes. Large windows bring in abundant natural light and frame the views, while expansive patios, a covered grill and dining area, and a hot tub make it easy to linger outside from sunrise coffee to late-night stargazing.

It's a year-round favorite and one of the most-loved features of the home. Surrounding Areas Casa Cielo sits in a quiet setting just outside Taos, offering privacy and easy access to hiking trails.
