Location: Arroyo Seco, New Mexico, USA (Minutes to World Class Alpine Skiing, 85 Minutes to Santa Fe)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-3)
Our charming New Mexican home is located on two gorgeous acres snuggled in the foothills of El Salto Mountain. Apples, wild plums, currants and choke cherries, along with numerous wild rose bushes, abound on our land. The silence can be profound. Every window is like a landscape painting. The beauty here is unequaled. Our home is comfortable and attractive.
Our location is ideal. We are just a half mile from Arroyo Seco where you will find charming shops and galleries and several delightful restaurants. World class alpine skiing and phenomenal hiking is just 15 minutes away. Also 15 minutes away is the Rio Grande Gorge and town of Taos. Taos is an artists Mecca. It has a rich and diverse cultural and artistic history. The 400 year old Taos Pueblo is the oldest continuously inhabited dwelling in the country. For those so inclined, the Pueblo has a casino in the vicinity and there is a variety of night life.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1999
My husband and I are semi-retired. On occasion we remodel homes and rental property for sale. We enjoy hiking and cross country skiing. We have just begun to do some traveling. We are avid readers and interested in many topics. We are the parents of a son who is currently in graduate school.
Why the Owner Chose Arroyo Seco
Years ago our spirits were captured by the area and compelled to find land and build on it. We are continually amazed by the great natural beauty of Taos and the internal silence it cultivates. We love the community of people, its diversity and arts. We are very active outdoors. It has been the perfect escape from Albuquerque for us as it is close by for a long weekend. We love the variety of things to do when we choose. Often we choose simply the spaciousness of mind to do nothing. You'll be surprised by the magic of Taos when you let what happens just come up!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our home is unique for its location and phenomenal beauty. Some people call Taos one of the world's power points, and, while that is something of a mystery to me, I recognize it has transformative effects on us when we are visiting. Our home is relatively new. It is easy and well equipped.
