4 Vista Estrella, Ranchos de Taos, NM 87557

Currently under construction, this new home sits on 1.499 acres and is thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of the surrounding views. Look out to Taos Mountain from the front of the home, the Picuris Mountains from the back portal, and sunsets to the west. The natural slope of the land helps protect these views. The home offers 1,583 square feet of living space plus a 528-square-foot attached two-car garage with radiant floor heat. Two covered portals provide outdoor living space in both the front and back of the home. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac that serves only three properties, this setting receives very little traffic. Inside, the living room and kitchen feature 10-foot ceilings with vigas and tongue-and-groove ceilings while the rest of the home has 9-foot ceilings. The floor plan separates the primary suite from the guest bedrooms, providing privacy. Large windows were thoughtfully planned and will be placed throughout the home to capture the surrounding mountain views from nearly every room. Storage was a priority in the design with six closets, a semi walk-in pantry, and the oversized garage. A dedicated mudroom and laundry room connects the garage to the home, a must in Taos! Heating is provided by an in-floor radiant heating system with PEX tubing embedded in the slab and powered by an on-demand hot water boiler. The home also features a traditional wood-burning kiva fireplace, wouldn’t be Taos without one! Built with energy efficiency in mind, the home includes 2 inches of high-density foam insulation beneath the slab and continuous exterior foam insulation around the entire home. This not only improves energy efficiency and helps reduce heating and cooling costs, but also creates the deep window and door returns that give the home the appearance of traditional adobe construction. The property is connected to a shared and has a recorded road maintenance agreement with annual dues of $240. The location offers quick access to outdoor recreation, including the Slide Trail for hiking and mountain biking, as well as the Taos Country Club and golf course just minutes away. Of course you have easy access to all the amenities Taos has to offer within 10-15 minutes, as with most property in Taos! If you’ve been around her enough, you’ll know traffic is not something Taosenos have to endure often.
