Ranch House Respite outside Taos, New Mexico!

On 3 acres of land we’re deep in the forest yet very close to the Orilla Verde National Monument. The heritage of the ancient Indian culture and the expansiveness of the land and sky create a sense of grounded spirituality. The sound of the wind blowing through the pines and the sweet smell of sage is intoxicating. The nearby mountains provide an incredible backdrop. When I need my urban fix, Taos and Santa Fe are not far.
Love it!
The location is ideal. The three miles of dirt roads are passable year-round and give the feeling that you are “out there”. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended in the snow and in the springtime mud. The "town" of Carson consists of about 150 residents, a café/ general store with great food, a post office and a fire department. The remote, peaceful area provides a respite for the most harried of individuals.
For those who want a variety of day trips and activities, Taos and Santa Fe have many unique draws for tourists who love the Southwest: shopping, gallery touring, dining, and the Pueblo, to name a few. The local culture is flavorful. For outdoorsy types, I can attest that the rafting, skiing, and hiking provide plenty of exercise and magnificent views. Soaking at nearby Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs is a great way to end, (or start) any day, and we’re lucky to have it so close by.
