Property Description
**At the top of the world!** Perched on 3.4 private acres in the Talpa foothills, this lovely and spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 2,900 sq. ft. adobe and frame home with an attached 2-car garage sits high along the Talpa ridge—so quietly tucked into the piñon-juniper woodland that you’d never know it was there from the valley below. This is a rare and remarkable setting, with unobstructed access to foot trails, mountain-bike trails, and horse trails leading straight into the Carson National Forest—right from your back door. And yet, the culture, art, restaurants, and energy of Taos Plaza are just 15 minutes away. From this elevated perch, the views stretch in every direction: Wheeler Peak to the north, San Antonio Mountain beyond, El Pedernal to the west, and Jicarita Peak to the south. Each bedroom features its own ensuite full bath, along with a door opening to the north-facing deck or balcony overlooking the canyon of the Rio Chiquito. On the west side, a large protected patio invites year-round alfresco dining, sunset watching, and slow evenings under the New Mexico sky. Inside, the home offers generous walk-in closets, abundant storage, and all the Southwest character you hope for: plaster walls, Saltillo tile floors, peeled aspen latillas, a kiva-style fireplace, and Talavera tile accents in the kitchen and baths. Come home to a truly one-of-a-kind retreat—where magnificent views, quiet seclusion, forest access, and classic Taos charm all meet at the top of the ridge.
