The first thing you notice is the view. The second is how good the house feels. True adobe walls give 1576 Weimer Road a quiet sense of substance, while radiant floors, passive solar design, high ceilings throughout and beautifully executed Southwestern details make the home warm, comfortable and unmistakably Taos. Set on three private acres bordering BLM land, it offers space, privacy and a direct connection to the foothills. Exposed adobe creates a dramatic entrance along the stairway. Vigas, latillas, plaster walls, nichos and two kiva fireplaces carry that character throughout the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home. Split-system heat pumps provide additional heat and air conditioning, combining traditional construction with the comfort modern living demands. Outdoor living is central to the design of this home. Three upper-level decks capture the commanding views, including a covered portal with a chandelier and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Dinner outside could become a difficult habit to break. The primary suite opens to its own private hot tub deck, while another covered patio overlooks professional landscaping, mature plantings, a water feature, drip irrigation and low-voltage landscape lighting. Each outdoor space offers a different place to dine, entertain, unwind or watch the light move across the mountains. The kitchen provides generous workspace, abundant storage and a truly oversized pantry--an actual pantry, not a cabinet with ambitions. The spacious primary suite includes its own fireplace, an expansive walk-in closet and a private washer and dryer. Included are two Bose Acoustimass speaker systems connected with a whole-home Sonos audio system. The home is available fully furnished. Practical features receive the same level of attention. Passive solar construction, high-efficiency radiant heat and LED lighting throughout means extremely low utility bills. A premium TPO Extreme roof provides lasting protection and peace of mind. Roof talk rarely steals the show, though in Northern New Mexico, this one deserves its moment. The private 411-foot well has a new pump and a substantial 146-foot water column. BLM land and the Carson National Forest puts hiking directly outside the back door, while the hospital, golf course and town remain just minutes away. Taos Ski Valley and Angel Fire are also within easy reach. With commanding views, authentic adobe construction, beautifully planned outdoor spaces and remarkable privacy in the coveted Weimer foothills, 1576 Weimer Road feels grounded, welcoming and completely at home in Taos.
