12 Happy Trail, Tres Piedras, NM 87577

Premier Taos Earthship Sanctuary on Happy Trail~ Just across the Bridge in Taos New Mexico within the famous Earthship Biotecture community lies 12 Happy Trail, a magical 1,282-square-foot modern off-grid home set on 1.505 acres. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood, this property boasts stellar, completely unobstructed mountain views that outshine many other streets in the area. The sun-drenched interior seamlessly blends sustainable design with classic Southwestern design, honoring the timeless warmth of traditional adobes with natural mud-plastered walls, Saltillo tile floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings with skylights for extra light and ventilation, and striking wood accents. Two traditional kiva fireplaces anchor the space, and the home even comes with nearly a full cord of wood ready for the high-desert winter. A continuous, lush plant bed runs along the entire southwest side, bringing vibrant life directly into both spacious bedrooms. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring the second kiva fireplace with an insert, a dedicated sunroom, and private egress to an enchanting yard blooming with towering sunflowers. The bathroom offers a custom-tiled single vanity and a classic clawfoot tub situated perfectly beneath a bright window. With ample cabinetry for excellent storage, the interior is as practical as it is stunning. Outside, the grounds are a thriving green space filled with succulents, fragrant sage, hardy perennials, established trees, a dedicated greenhouse, and a traditional root cellar. Beyond the property line, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Northern New Mexico—just a short drive to the best skiing at Taos Ski Valley, rejuvenating soaking at Ojo Caliente, and the renowned galleries, museums, culture, and shopping of downtown Taos. Step into this self-sufficient sanctuary to discover a space where authentic architectural beauty, modern comfort, and absolute sustainability live in perfect harmony.
