Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Taos
Taos and its surrounding area, the Enchanted Circle, offer so many gifts -- arts, entertainment, Southwestern cuisine, multi-cultural events, Pueblo dances, a casino, and of course, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, and so much more.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Location! The Town of Taos has traffic noise, no mountain views, and diminished night star-gazing. Casa de Luz offers the best of both worlds. It is a short drive to Taos Plaza yet offers quietude, mountain views with incredible sunrises, sunsets, and night sky stargazing, and easy access to good dining, entertainment, and outdoor activities -- Taos Ski Valley, hiking, and trout fishing. Casa de Luz's peaceful setting has unobstructed views of Wheeler Peak and Taos Mountain during the day and from the hot tub at night. We offer a private retreat from the hustle/bustle of urban life or for anyone looking for private space.
Owner's Map of Taos
Nature, music, and arts lovers who are inspired by the joys and balance they bring. Casa de Luz was created as our Taos getaway with all the comforts, amenities, and “little touches” of home that we desire when traveling. We feel blessed to share with you this magical place.
