Extremely rare, family property since 1939 and never before listed! This 133-acre ranch is the largest span of privately owned property in Taos Canyon. Situated midway between Taos and Angel Fire this rare parcel runs almost to Valle Escondido. Influenced by the Rio Fernando de Taos and Mascarenas Creek, the property transitions from gentle riparian meadows to steep coniferous forest and borders the Carson National Forest. A small spring fed pond and seasonal waterfall beckon year-long wildlife population to include migratory deer and elk, bear, trout and large raptors to include red-tailed hawks and golden eagles. The seller placed a conservation easement with Taos Land Trust for the purpose of conserving the open space character, forest land, habitat, riparian ecology, agricultural productivity and water shed of the property. The property includes 5.2 acres of irrigated land, 2 wells and 2 septic systems. Unobstructed views to the 90-acres across the highway will be guaranteed to the new owners in perpetuity. The property offers a charming, 1911 sq. ft. cabin with a living room, 3 kiva-style fireplaces, kitchen, office, 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and ½ bath. Additionally, there is a 1001 sq. ft. rustic, adobe casita with a living area, 2 bedrooms kitchen/dining area, 1 full bath, attached garage, detached garage and large storage area. There are two additional, elevated building sites with views over the valley. This ranch offers a panorama of endless beauty and comfort inspiring the outdoor enthusiast and artist alike. Throughout its seven decades, very little has changed. Winter melts to spring, summer slides to fall and nature constantly moves through its stages of life. Herds come and go, the river rises and falls, flowers blossom and wither. The land remains constant, unchanged by seasons or time. One-of-a-kind views of the mountains and valleys, fresh, crisp air, blue skies laden with big lazy clouds… this ranch is a destination away from the crowds, ideal as a gathering place for family and friends with a spectacular canvas to build your dream home.
