About this property

Eastern Star Retreat - Open Plan, well-appointed, 360 Mountain Views, Hot Tub

Beautiful Adobe-style, custom home with magnificent panoramic view of Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Slow down. Take in the scenery. Enjoy the crimson hues of the mountain range at every sunrise and sunset from our unique second-story gazebo and spacious portals, or just stay cozy inside and gaze at nature from our walls of windows. After a hard day on the ski slope or from hiking, relax in the bubbly hot tub, read your favorite book by the fireplace, or sip your favorite drink on east-facing portals.

This well-appointed, comfortable home tastefully displays a collection of southwest potteries, paintings, lightings, custom stained-glass artwork and other collectibles in every room. It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The home is located in the coveted Blueberry Hill area, at the corner of one of Taos’ main paved roads. No 4WD or long-distance drive on spine-jolting roads is involved! Home sits high on a 5-acre lot with privacy fence. Home is 5.5 miles from Taos Plaza and a quick, easy drive to restaurants, shops, sights, and outdoor recreational activities including fly fishing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snow boarding, white water rafting, and golfing.

The first master bedroom is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and an en suite bath with double sinks. The 2nd master bedroom also sports an en suite full bath with double sinks. Both en suite baths have large walk-in shower for easy, convenient access. The 3rd bathroom is located next door to the 3rd bedroom, and it has a bathtub and shower combo.

The spacious 21' x 25' great room truly speaks to quality family time as it provides multiple seating areas and a collection of table games for the young and old.

The house has an ideal chef's kitchen. It is equipped with LG kitchen appliances in slick, black stainless steel. The kitchen also provides all sorts of cookware, cooking utensils and serving dishes for any size meal sharing. The laundry room is outfitted with state of the art washer and dryer, and all the bedrooms and bathrooms come with luxurious linens and towels.

Back problems? No worries. Each bedroom is provided with Sealy Premium Posturepedic king mattress set. A 6-sided encasement that provides soft, noiseless and breathable protection is used on all beds to reduce allergens, increase comfort level, and keep them clean and fresh.

Eastern Star Retreat is a single level, modern, custom-built adobe-style home. No sunken living room or baths like many homes in this area. No steps or spiral staircase to climb or maneuver. Certainly, convenient and safe home features for all members of the family.

The radiant floor heating system under the Saltillo tiles provides gentle, even, warm air throughout home in the winter months. In the warmer months, the evaporative cooling system naturally changes the warm, dry air of this region into cool, moist air inside home.

You will feel instantly welcome and pleased as you enter the house and are presented with a foyer, a fireplace and a majestic mountain view. A true family get-away vacation! In the event you find the need to stay connected with the information highway, the high-speed fiber optic internet is in place for you.

Eastern Star is the perfect retreat for ALL seasons.

Fabulous Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful time in your home. When it snowed the Friday after Thanksgiving the view was like looking at a postcard. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in Taos.

Spacious with Great Views
The house was very clean and well organized. Everything was labeled which made finding things very simple. The instruction sheets made the electronics easy to use too. The photos made it appear that the house was further off the beaten path than it really is. It sits alongside a fairly busy street making the elevated patio feel like you’re on display.

Wonderful Stay
We stayed at this lovely home while attending Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance. The owners have thought of every detail in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The home is beautifully furnished and is located close enough to Taos to be there in 10 minutes but far away enough to see the stars at night! The Mountain View was beautiful from everywhere in the house. Highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Trinh Le

Host profile image
Kent and I are from Texas and we love to go to Taos and be away from the hot and humid weather for a few days. We have also been in awe with the New Mexico landscape. After a few trips to Taos, we decided to buy a home here. As the Taos locals have told us, "The mountain is calling!" and, yes, we responded heartily by claiming it as our second home.

Why they chose this property

If you like nature, you will love it at Eastern Star Retreat!

The house is located just outside of town where you can truly appreciate the wide open spaces of Taos. At Eastern Star Retreat, you'll enjoy the 360 unhindered view of the Taos mountains.

The Taos county, itself, stretches over 50 square miles. The average number of sunny days is 300/365. It has a mixture of diverse cultures that include that of Native Americans, Spanish and Anglo.

Taos offers all kinds of outdoor activities all year round. The options are endless: e.g., skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, rafting, kayaking, hiking, golfing, horseback riding, biking, and hot air ballooning. Even if you are not as much of an outdoor sport enthusiast as you would like to be (i.e., like some of us), you'd still enjoy sitting back on the porch and soaking in the beautiful weather, pristine setting, and majestic mountain views.

Personally, I feel blessed whenever I am there.

What makes this property unique

Guests frequently tell us they love our 2nd story gazebo! It provides a truly unique view of the Taos' mountains and valleys. They also love our large hot tub ...such a wonderful way to get a massage, pain relief, or simply relaxing entertainment .
