Overview
Casa de Taos is an artful adobe home tucked onto 2.5 private acres of sagebrush mesa, where sculpted walls, carved doors, and walls of glass frame sweeping mountain and high-desert views. The setting feels remote and serene, yet downtown Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and the ski valleys are all an easy drive away. Inside, soaring wood ceilings, exposed steel trusses, and radiant-heated slate floors give the home a warm, gallery-like feel. The open living and dining areas flow out to a covered porch and a walled courtyard, so the line between indoors and the mesa nearly disappears. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room on cool desert evenings. Whether you are here to ski, soak in the hot tub under the stars, explore Taos, or simply slow down on the mesa, Casa de Taos is a singular, design-forward basecamp for your Northern New Mexico stay.

Living Areas The living room is the heart of the home, with a leather sectional and chaise, a cast-iron wood-burning stove, and a smart TV beneath dramatic wood-and-steel ceilings. Walls of glass pull in the light and the views, and the open layout connects easily to the dining area and kitchen, making it a natural place to gather after a day outdoors. Kitchen & Dining The kitchen is built for real cooking, with a gas range, double wall oven, dishwasher, and a large island with bench seating. Tiled counters and warm wood cabinetry give it true Northern New Mexico character. The adjacent dining table seats six beneath a wrought-iron chandelier, with big windows framing the courtyard and mesa beyond. Outdoor Space Outside is where Casa de Taos truly shines. A covered porch wraps the home with deep wicker sofas, lounge chairs, and a dining table, all framing uninterrupted mountain views. A walled adobe courtyard offers cushioned loungers for sunbathing and stargazing, while flagstone patios, sage gardens, and a quiet bench invite slow mornings and golden-hour evenings on the mesa. A BBQ grill is on hand for cookouts. Hot Tub After a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Taos, unwind in the private hot tub set on a sheltered flagstone patio. Under the wide Northern New Mexico sky, it is the perfect place to soak, relax, and watch the stars come out.

We loved being surrounded by mountains and the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The house is cozy, comfortable and serene.
Our fall stay at Casa Taos in October 2025 was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped inside, we were embraced by the warmth and charm of this beautiful adobe-style home. Every corner is thoughtfully designed—inviting, serene, and filled with southwestern character. We spent our days exploring the vibrant food scene, local art, and unique shops of Taos, and our evenings unwinding back at the Casa. Whether enjoying a light dinner, playing games, or simply soaking in the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from the patio, every moment felt like a gift. The home’s exquisite finishes and attention to detail create a luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Casa Taos truly offers a peaceful escape that blends beauty, culture, and relaxation in perfect harmony. We can’t wait to return.
Really hated to leave this home base. You will love the quiet and privacy.
We loved everything about this property - beautiful home, nicely decorated, a great place for 5 of us to ski during the day and then make a nice dinner at night and enjoy the stars from the hot tub. This is a wonderful property - thanks!
