26 Sugar Lane, El Prado, NM 87529

Authentic High Desert Compound with Limitless Potential~ Set off Sugar Lane in Lower Las Colonias, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home includes a studio addition to be finished off to one's liking. Positioned on the back southwest corner of a one-acre parcel, the property protects unobstructed and mountain views and provides a massive blank-canvas yard equipped with two dedicated wells for domestic use and irrigation. Authentic craftsmanship defines the interior through hand-carved doors, Saltillo tile, classic archways, and ceilings featuring stunning vigas paired with herringbone T&G and very special latillas in the dining and family rooms. Heavy natural light is controlled by new automatic blinds in the living room and studio, illuminating the main living space brought together by a step-down kiva fireplace with a built-in banco and traditional nicho. The kitchen centers around custom carved cabinetry, Mexican Talavera tile, stainless appliances, and a propane stub-out for an easy switch to a gas range. Heated by a new mechanical combi-system powering radiant floors and on-demand hot water, the layout includes a large primary en-suite and a spacious laundry area. Each of the other two bedrooms are perfect size. Outside, living extends to a new Trex deck, a Hot Spring saltwater hot tub, a lighted in-ground trampoline, and an outdoor kitchen propane stub fueled by the 1,000-gallon underground tank also powering the gas in the home. The light-filled studio conversion maximizes that potential for rental income or a creative space, featuring floor-to-ceiling southeast windows, brick floors, one bedroom, and a functioning lavatory ready to plumb into a full bath. Complete with extensive rear parking and a wide graveled trailer roundabout, this north-end location provides a direct line to Taos Ski Valley, Rio Grande river access, and Blueberry Hill for a quick bypass to Santa Fe or Taos Country Club.
