This is the real deal! Located less than 2 miles from Taos Plaza in a serene, meadow with the an Acequia running through it, the historic Hobby Horse Ranch enfolds this charming and unpretentious two bedroom, one bath home. Every window boasts a stunning view (several look out on Taos Mountain itself) and the stately pine, elm, juniper and cedar trees overhanging two rustic patios keep the home cool and comfortable all summer long. Two separate garages provide ample storage space, while inside, you’ll appreciate the tasteful modern improvements to the easy-going, comfortable lines of a genuine Taos classic. The walls have been newly plastered and painted throughout the house, and the bathroom has been updated with all new tile and fixtures. The spacious kitchen has been upgraded with new appliances, lighting, refrigerator and range, while the original tile counter tops have been lovingly preserved. The Taos Tin Works wall sconces, living room fireplace, newly stained and sealed ceiling vigas and spotless Mexican tile flooring combine to create a simple, warm, inviting southwestern environment. Well share documents are being prepared, and the septic system has been upgraded to allow for another bathroom if you so choose, subject to approval of lot split by county or town. Property is being sold as-is. Bernie and Marybeth Garcia are excluded from listing. Shop and compare, then give me a call. This one won’t be listed for long!
