Casa de Legado Your Taos Legacy ~ Welcome to Casa de Legado, the "House of Legacy." The name says it all—this is a property built to be cherished, a home meant to be passed down and enjoyed for generations. Nestled in the desirable Blueberry Hill neighborhood, this private sanctuary feels hidden away yet remains incredibly central. You get the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting and an easy drive. Located just seven miles from Downtown Taos and sixteen miles from Taos Ski Valley, you can reach all the local sights with a stress-free drive that passes through only one stoplight. While the home sits comfortably on the land rather than high on a ridge, it still commands expansive, panoramic mountain views that are truly some of the best in the area. Formerly the home of a well-known Taos artist, Casa de Legado is filled with over 2,000 sqft of authentic Southwest character. The interior is warm and inviting, featuring romantic adobe arches, classic Saltillo tile floors, and beautiful viga ceilings in every room. The heart of the home is the sunken living room, centered around a custom, hand-crafted wood-burning kiva fireplace. This cozy space flows right into a massive "bonus" sunroom that feels bright and open. With a cast-iron potbelly stove and three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunroom brings the outdoors in, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. The kitchen and dining area are designed to capture views through the living room toward the fireplace, adding a nice touch of warmth to every meal. Just off the dining room, you’ll find an enclosed patio with a grill, ready for outdoor BBQs. The layout is also designed for privacy; the two bedrooms are separated by two back-to-back bathrooms, creating a natural sound barrier between the sleeping quarters. Outside, Casa de Legado offers a true New Mexico experience. A spacious deck overlooks a large private hot tub, giving you a front-row seat to "starry, starry nights" unlike anything you’ve seen before. Whether you are warming up by the traditional clay chiminea in the cool mountain air or soaking in the hot tub under the dark sky, this outdoor space is a perfect retreat. This is a special home with a story to tell. Who will be the next lucky people to carry on the legacy?
