66 Vista del Ocaso Rd, Ranchos de Taos, NM 87577-000

Wake each morning to unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and spectacular eastern sunrises from this beautifully maintained custom home, tucked at the quiet end of desirable Vista Linda. Nothing interrupts the sweeping eastern views, creating a breathtaking backdrop from the home's main living spaces and covered portal. What immediately sets this home apart is its extraordinary sense of space. Soaring 20-foot ceilings and a dramatic wall of windows fill the living room with natural light while perfectly framing the mountain views. French doors open to a spacious covered portal that serves as a true outdoor living room—an inviting place for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply watching the changing light across the landscape. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous center island with custom wrought-iron barstools, and an oversized 3' x 5' walk-in pantry with a pocket door that provides exceptional storage. Custom built-in bookshelves add warmth and character to the adjoining dining and living spaces. The thoughtful floor plan provides excellent separation between the primary suite and guest accommodations. The spacious primary suite measures approximately 16' x 15' and includes an impressive 8' x 11' walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a generous bath. Guests enjoy an oversized bedroom and full bath of their own. Skylights throughout the home bring beautiful natural light into every corner, and the exceptionally large laundry room offers abundant storage along with a built-in ironing board. The oversized heated two-car garage includes a dedicated workshop equally suited as an artist's studio, woodworking shop, fitness room, or hobby space. Hidden within the home's original design is another thoughtful touch: when the home was built, the owners framed a future double-door opening and roughed in plumbing and electrical for a potential addition. Should your needs ever change, much of the work has already been done, making future expansion significantly easier. Built as a custom home for its original owners, quality is evident throughout. Solid 2x8 construction, natural gas service, solar panels, a backup generator, recent west-facing windows, and electric bills averaging approximately $30 per month make this home as efficient as it is comfortable. Three coats of SunShield elastomeric exterior coating reflect the exceptional care this home has received over the years. Homes in Vista Linda rarely offer this combination of custom construction, oversized rooms, flexible workspace, exceptional energy efficiency, room to grow, and truly unobstructed mountain views. Beautifully maintained and ready for its next chapter, this is a home designed to be enjoyed for many years to come.
