4 Painter Rd, El Prado, NM 87529

LOOKING FOR MAGIC? The magic of a sweet 1,400+/- sq. ft authentic Taos adobe with 2BR/2BA and a 1 car garage? The magic of being tucked between 2 open tracts of Taos Pueblo land for peace and quiet and privacy on 1.55+/-ac. yet only 5 min. to town? A magical yard filled with a myriad of colorful flowers and birds and bees? The living room has lots of windows for lots of views and passive solar gain along with a charming gas woodstove, a high ceiling with vigas, and Saltillo tile floors. You’ll enjoy the comfy feel of the open dining area with its wood plank floors, vigas and another gas woodstove that looks like the real thing without the effort. The master bedroom is complete with a kiva fireplace. The floor plan is a bit quirky but cool and provides options. A bedroom with its own bath adjoins the master and has a separate entrance along with another corner kiva fireplace (A rental perhaps?) It has all the ambience of “old” Taos with vigas, natural plaster and “mud” floor and it’s where the magic happens for the owner who is an award-winning quilter. Hand troweled plaster runs throughout the house, much being the natural adobe with straw. A generous L shaped portal graces the front of the house hacienda style for enjoying mountain views and the back portal hosts a hot tub for star gazing or just lazing. A wealth of established landscaping and trees await in the totally fenced back yard with drip irrigation and sprinkler system and spots to sit and take in the scenery, have a cup of tea, or read a book. The location off Millicent Rogers Rd. provides easy access to Taos Ski Valley, USFS, and the Rio Grande Nat’l Monument areas for all your outdoor activities as well as to town for those indoor pursuits like restaurants, galleries, shops, and markets. One of the gems of Taos, the Millicent Rogers Museum, is right up the road.
