"Eco-Chic Retreat: Casa Del Sol in Scenic Taos"
Description Summary:
Discover Casa Del Sol, your haven for sustainable luxury in bustling Taos County, New Mexico. This Earthship-inspired home, featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, accommodates up to 8 guests in style. Imbibe in the tranquil ambiance of this charming dwelling, etched with eco-conscious measures, steps away from the Rio Grande Gorge and Taos Pueblo. Ideal for the eco-aware traveler, or families looking to immerse in unique cultural experiences.
The Space:
Let the original Casa Del Sol—your sanctuary for a truly unique vacation—captivate you. This ecologically-conscious home, ingeniously built with repurposed beer and soda cans by Earthship pioneer Michael Reynolds, beautifully blends comfort, aesthetic allure, and sustainable living.
The house welcomes you with four cozy bedrooms, each radiating warmth and comfort. The master suite is a retreat within a retreat, featuring a king-sized bed, a private bath equipped with a serene bathtub and standalone shower—refuge for your body and mind. The guest bedrooms reverberate the tranquil vibe, featuring charming clawfoot tub in the shared bathroom.
Casa Del Sol’s heart is its spacious living area, housing a vintage fireplace, setting the stage for friendly gatherings or tranquil relaxation. Its kitchen, replete with modern amenities, provides an optimal setting for those culinary adventures. The dedicated workspace subtly eases the blend of travel and work, making it perfect for digital nomads.
The delight continues outside to the welcoming patio and the BBQ-equipped backyard, where you can relish a meal under the sprawling New Mexican sky. Watch nature’s best show, courtesy of colorful sunsets, as the rhythm of life in Taos continues around you. The house further ensures your comfort and security with a smart lock system and ample free parking.
Touching all spheres of life, Casa Del Sol is a testament to a well-rounded vacation experience, where every detail becomes a cherished memory.
Guest Access:
With Casa Del Sol, you get full access to a secure and relaxed stay, courtesy of our smart lock system. Guests can check in at their convenience and have complete access to both the outdoor and indoor spaces.
Unwind in our private backyard or enjoy serene moments on the patio. Our parking options are expansive, accommodating your vehicles in the carport, garage, or the spacious driveway. Fireside chat or star-gazing, you can enjoy to your heart's content at our fire pit, enhancing your tranquil experience.
Other Things to Note:
Choosing Casa Del Sol means not just opting for a holiday home but a culturally rich, eco-conscious living experience. Its architectural charm, blended with its proximity to the local attractions of Taos County, enhances your holiday.
With summer approaching, Casa Del Sol serves as the perfect gateway to celebrate upcoming holidays like Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day. Picture family barbecues on our patio, hikes to the nearby Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, or exploration of the UNESCO site, Taos Pueblo.
Don't miss out on the Millicent Rogers Museum near the property—a cultural gem of Taos. For dining options, KTAOS Solar Center offers unique fare, while Taos Plaza and Arroyo Seco present a variety of local flavors.
Please note that Casa Del Sol is a non-smoking, no pet property, and the tranquility it prescribes requires noise limits to be respected. Our dedicated local Taos team is available to assist with any queries or difficulties during your stay, promising a rejuvenating and unforgettable retreat. Embrace a sustainable lifestyle, stay close to nature, soak in local culture, and take with you a precious piece of Taos from Casa Del Sol.
