Property Description
Dos Rios stands as a distinctive architectural statement, perched gracefully on a low bluff overlooking the Rio Pueblo on the south side of Taos, New Mexico. This property embodies a unique southwestern mid-century modern aesthetic, conceived by Robert Rottenberg, a former student of the renowned Frank Lloyd Wright. The residence was originally commissioned for artist Robert Ray, a prominent figure among the Taos Modernists, imbuing the property with a rich artistic legacy. Spanning approximately 11.4 acres, Dos Rios offers an intimate retreat where privacy harmonizes with panoramic views. From sunrise to sunset, the main residence and a charming guest casita capture expansive 360-degree vistas across the high desert landscape, the picturesque Rio Pueblo, and the majestic foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. A wrap-around deck, complete with a hot tub, extends the living space outdoors, providing an ideal vantage point for quiet contemplation or entertaining guests against a backdrop of rare riverfront property. Beyond its architectural and scenic appeal, the property holds significant historical and natural value. Along the rock bluff wall below the main residence lies a notable collection of native petroglyphs, representing the largest single concentration found within Taos County. The Rio Pueblo, flowing through the property, offers several enticing fishing pools and the benefit of water rights, facilitating the irrigation of meadows on its southwestern side. Both the main residence and the guest casita are thoughtfully arranged, each featuring two bedrooms and two baths, and are offered furnished. This secluded haven remains remarkably accessible, located just ten minutes from the vibrant Taos Plaza and an equally short drive to the Taos Country Club golf course, and a 35± minute drive to the world-class Taos Ski Valley offering a blend of serene escape and convenient access to local amenities.
