El Salto - 9 miles to Taos Ski Valley, 9 miles to Taos Town

This strikingly handsome, contemporary custom home has an open floor plan that is light, bright and airy. You will enjoy private 3.5 acres backing to national forest with unparalleled, million-dollar sweeping valley/mountain views, and plenty of great walking/hiking opportunities right out your front (or back!) door. This one-of-a-kind Taos vacation rental, with a very secluded setting, is easily accessible to Arroyo Seco and Taos Ski Valley. Arroyo Seco has a grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops and shopping, all ridiculously cute. Watch the sunrise creep across the valley floor below in the mornings, and the sunset illuminate the entire Taos/San Luis valley area at dusk. Perhaps they will light up the runway at night for your viewing pleasure! (best viewed from the hot tub so the chipmunks and hummingbirds can further entertain you.)

Alto Salto has an oversize master suite on the entire second floor, complete with luxury bath, private deck, and steam shower. Radiant heat keeps the floors warm underfoot. The comfortable downstairs bedrooms face the patio and hot tub or the wet weather creek. There is a large living room with Kiva Fireplace that is open to the kitchen, and a fun family room with entertainment center and ping-pong table. The oversized living room couch and trundle bed (double - not included in the number of beds listed) are perfect for sleeping kids or an afternoon siesta. Alto Salto is a perfect home for parties or family gatherings with several distinct gathering places for your people. This is truly a one of a kind treasure from which to base your New Mexican adventures. Enjoy!

4WD is required during the winter months!!
