23 Rova Drive, Taos, NM 87571-0000

Situated in Valle Escondido at 8,500 feet above sea level, directly on the 6th green of the golf course and with views from the north-side deck direct to Wheeler Peak, this home has so much to offer any new owner. Just fourteen miles west to Taos Plaza and thirteen miles east to Angel Fire, Valle Escondido provides plenty of optionality, particularly given that the community offers a laid-back vibe, a really good nine-hole walking golf course, casual club house, and immediate access out into USFS lands for great mountain biking, hiking, and pure natural bliss, not to mention Aspen and Arrow Head lakes which are stocked annually for fishing delight. The home itself is centered around an amazing and sizable stone wood-burning fireplace and hearth that acts as the center of the house. The open-plan living and dining area lends itself well to family enjoyment with access out onto a north and east-side deck where you can watch the hummingbirds and view the elk that roam this area amid groves of aspen tress. The primary suite is located on the ground floor (where there are two full bathrooms) while the remaining bedrooms are located on the home’s second floor. The pitched pro-panel roof architecturally lends itself to all kinds of interesting cubbies and storage areas that you kind of have to see to understand including a lovely small cove area in the very top that the kids can hang out in. When you are in the house it is not hard to see the custom nature of its construction from the large structural beams, to the solid wood doors, to the home's fixtures, skylights, and large double-paned windows that let in plenty of light and warmth. There is a fully fenced-in area for those with dogs and the property itself conveys at almost one full acre on two distinct parcels (Lots #35 and #36) The property benefits from Kit Carson fiber internet, community water. Valle Escondido is a FireWise community and the HOA fees include general area maintenance of roads etc., community water, as well as access to and use of golf course, clubhouse, and swimming pool. For an additional $100 per year, owners can have friends accompany them to use the club facilities.
