Description
Tucked away on a remarkably private setting just minutes from the Historic Taos Plaza, 640 Don Nicolas is a rare retreat where timeless Southwestern architecture, thoughtful design, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together in perfect harmony. Lovingly curated and extensively renovated in 2021 by the current owner, this exceptional residence exudes warmth, character, and soul from the moment you arrive. A new TPO roof was installed as part of the improvements, blending modern peace of mind with the timeless character of Northern New Mexico architecture. Soaring wood-beamed ceilings, handcrafted architectural details, rich wood accents, beautiful plaster walls, multiple kiva fireplaces, and expansive windows create inviting spaces that feel both grand and deeply comfortable while framing breathtaking mountain and mesa views. Designed for gathering and entertaining, the home offers multiple living and dining spaces, each with its own distinct personality. The stunning great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring dramatic ceilings, a grand fireplace, and seamless access to outdoor living areas. The updated kitchen is both functional and beautiful, offering generous workspace and an inviting setting for everything from intimate dinners to holiday celebrations. A rare and highly desirable feature, the home offers two primary suites, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, privacy, and a connection to the surrounding landscape. The main-level primary suite opens directly onto the pool terrace and outdoor living areas, allowing for effortless mornings by the water and peaceful evenings spent soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars. The upper-level primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with its own covered viewing deck that captures sweeping mountain and mesa views, unforgettable sunrises, vibrant sunsets, and Taos' famed dark skies. Together, these suites provide exceptional flexibility for owners, guests, or multi-generational living, while additional guest accommodations offer comfort and privacy for family and friends. Step outside and discover one of the property's most enchanting features. Mature landscaping surrounds a heated pool and hot tub, creating a resort-like setting for afternoon swims, sunset cocktails, evening gatherings beneath the stars, or quiet mornings with coffee and mountain views. The fruit-producing orchard offers a simple luxury rarely found today--walking into your own backyard to gather fresh fruit for breakfast, baking, or sharing with guests. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, an inspiring artist's haven, a wellness destination for yoga and meditation, or a gathering place for family and friends, this property offers a rare opportunity to embrace the very best of the Taos lifestyle. Secluded and peaceful, yet only minutes from the galleries, restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions of the Historic Taos Plaza, the location strikes an ideal balance between privacy and convenience. Adding to the appeal, the majority of the home's furniture and furnishings are available for purchase through a separate bill of sale. Thoughtfully selected to complement the architecture and spirit of the home, these pieces create a sophisticated yet relaxed aesthetic that perfectly suits the property's character. For buyers seeking a turnkey experience, the opportunity exists to preserve the home's distinctive style and welcoming atmosphere from day one. Properties offering this level of privacy, authenticity, and lifestyle are increasingly difficult to find. 640 Don Nicolas is more than a home--it is a place to gather, create, recharge, and make lasting memories.
