The adobe walls of Tierra Madre are cool in the summer and warm in winter. This spacious home was designed with the comfort of guests in mind. An adobe house feels like no other. Heavy beams (vigas) span the ceilings in the traditional manner while thick plaster coats the walls. Warmth is provided by radiant floor heat. Imagine living as the Pueblo Indians have for thousands of years, but with all of the modern conveniences. Yes, you can even bring your own notebook computer and enjoy the free wi-fi.

Tierra Madre is north of town, just 15 minutes from the ski valley and five minutes from town. You will feel like you have come home as you snuggle under down comforters and build a fire in the Kiva fireplace. Everything is provided from an espresso coffeemaker to comfortable chairs for those afternoons when all you want to do is read a book.

The outside hot tub is the perfect place to watch shooting stars dart across the dark skies of Taos. For those of you who can't get enough of the great outdoors an adobe walled flagstone patio overlooks the vast expanse of BIA land (Indian Pueblo land). Only an occasional cow can be seen from this private getaway.

It is obvious why the famous painter RC Gorman chose to live right across the road. This is a place of special beauty.

Why the Owner Chose Taos

We vacationed in Taos in 1990's and fell in love with it. We returned time and time again until We bought a house in 1999 and moved to Taos in 2000. We loved the year round beauty of the mountains, the artists, and fantastic sunshine. We finally found the perfect piece of land to build a custom home and built a home with the views, comfort and privacy as our first 3 priorities. It has BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs)land on 2 sides for maximum privacy. It is located between Taos and Ski Valley , close to everything yet it is a relaxing private place.

The Unique Benefits at this Adobe Home

Sunset views, mountain views. Sitting on the flagstone patio sipping on my morning coffee, soaking up the sunshine and the beautiful views. The perfect way to start the day.
After a great day of skiing, hiking, hitting the river, biking or taking in some new galleries I love to wait until after dark, turn out all the house lights and go out to the Jaccuzzi and just sit in the dark with the jets off and watch the bright stars.

B

Owner's Map of Taos

After years of owning our own business we decided it was time for chapter two. We now live in Guyana,South America. Anne works for Peace Corps and Jim works for the US Embassy. As much as we love our new life, we try to make time each year to get back to Taos to smell the sweet sage and gaze at the mountains.

    • When we entered Tierra Madre, we were simply stunned by the views and the incredible design of this home. It didn't hurt that there was a double rainbow just outside the living room window! It is apparent that a great deal of time was spent planning everything about the house. From the orientation of the oversized windows to a gourmet equipped kitchen, it was all wonderful. Our week stay with four adults and an 8 year old was one that set the mark for our future vacation rentals. In fact, if it had been available, we would have returned two months later for a month long stay. Tierra Madre is also a great value with all the amenities anyone could need. Thanks to our owner/host for a memorable visit.

    • Staying at Tierra Madre was magical. We arrived to a view of a double rainbow spanning the mountain view which fills the living room window. The house is perfectly appointed with lots of things for cooking, plenty of (comfy) beds, and bedding and a sweet outdoor garden of daisies which my daughter adored playing in (I would guess there would not be daisies when it is snowing.) Tierra Madre seems to have been laid out to take great advantage of several views... we saw hot air balloons and gorgeous sunsets out of the dining room windows which are opposite the living room. The owners and caretaker were helpful when we needed them and absent when we wanted our space. We loved it so much we are looking at going again very soon and staying longer! I could say so many more wonderful things, but to be simple, you will enjoy staying at Tierra Madre.

    • our vacation was so relaxing and fun, we added an extra day to stay just a little bit longer! this house has every modern convenience and it's decorated to suit it's surroundings. the linens and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with tools to bake and cook large meals, and the property is private with a relaxing hot tub. we watched cable, played dvds, and read through the collection of travel books and local lore. this is the best place i have ever stayed through vrbo, and i hope to return every year!

    • We loved this home - the mountain views were indeed unbeatable and the layout of the home is perfect for a family or several couples traveling together. Very well furnished, conveniently located, the hot tub was wonderful. We highly recommend Tierra Madre if you are traveling to Taos!

    • Our family came to Taos for our annual ski trip. We drove from Shawnee, KS with my finace, his 2 kids and our 2 dogs. The house was absolutely amazing. It was so relaxing and peaceful and had everything we could ask for. The hot tub was a huge hit. After a long day of skiing, sitting out in the hot tub watching the sun set was priceless. We started a fire in the kiva fire place in the living room and relaxed as a family and enjoyed each others company. We will definitely be back next year to stay at Tierra Madre. Andrea & Kevin

    • This house was great. We stayed for a long weekend in January 2008. The location is perfect for easy access to the ski area - and a great home to come home to relax after wearing ourselves out on the mountain! The views were fantastic and the layout was great as well. Thanks for a great time!
