Relax at Luna Vista, a spacious adobe home. Enjoy the outdoor hot tub and glorious views of Taos Mountain and the Sangre de Cristo Range from the front portal/porch. Or, gaze into your New Mexico-style kiva fireplace while you take in the views from inside.
The interior is roomy and features a bedroom with a massive king sleigh bed and another with two queens.

Map & Owner's Profile

Why the Owner Chose Taos
The mountains and quality of light found in and around Taos have become part of my soul. I love the organic feel of an adobe house. Plus I am a sucker for a view. That's why I chose my particular viewing spot. The sunsets always delight. Watching the moon rise from the portal is magic.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I am five minutes from the road that leads to the ski valley or, if you go west, to the Rio Grande Gorge. I like that I can be away from town and looking at the mountains above it but still drive to town within 10-15 minutes. Taos has so much going on, from artistic endeavors to fantastic restaurants. Good shops and museums. The Northside Spa and Tennis Club is a short drive and offers both an indoor and outdoor pool, gym equipment, a variety of classes from spinning to yoga, massage and a steam room. Visitors are welcome to use my pass. Hiking is a big draw to this area, along with the obvious skiing and cross-country opportunities. There are state and national parks and plenty of little-known walks to take. Hiking trails are rarely crowded so there is usually a sense of privacy and personal discovery.
Owner's Map of Taos
I am a retired journalist, writing a non-fiction book in a nearby casita. A native of Kansas City, I lived in New Mexico for 18 years. I have just returned to the Land of Enchantment after an 11-year hiatus. My mate and I are travelers, part gypsy. Most recently we spent eight weeks in New Zealand junketing about in a camper van, then four weeks traveling around Australia. We have a BMW motorcycle which we took to Alaska a couple of summers ago and the north shore of Lake Superior last year. Cooking, gardening, hiking, swimming all top my list of fun things to do, along with appreciating my partner's photography. I just sold the limousine I used for a part-time business.
