Property Description

A RANCH ESTATE. A DREAM HOME. A WORLD OF POSSIBILITY. Hacienda de Suenos brings together an extraordinary 5,995-square-foot adobe-style residence with 8.1 acres of irrigated pasture, mature orchard, equestrian facilities, valuable water rights and additional buildable land--all from a spectacular setting above the Talpa Valley with incomparable views of Taos Mountain, El Salto and the Sangre de Cristo Range. This ranch works as beautifully as it lives. Irrigated pastures stretch toward the Rio Grande del Rancho River, a mature orchard produces abundant fruit, and a naturally warm spring adds another special water feature to the property. Water rights from three acequias help keep the pastures, orchard and gardens lush and productive. A barn, round pen and supporting facilities are ready for horses and livestock, with room for grazing, growing and other agricultural pursuits. At the heart of the ranch, Hacienda de Suenos sits privately behind gates and established perennial gardens. A hand-carved front door opens to a five-bedroom home filled with the craftsmanship and character of Northern New Mexico: soaring ceilings, vigas, thick adobe walls, hand-carved woodwork, colorful artisan tile and abundant natural light. Two primary suites have private outdoor seating areas and mountain views, complemented by three full baths, two half baths and a spacious home office. The kitchen and pantry offer premium appliances and generous workspace, while the dining room with banco seating and carved wood details was made for gathering around the table. Three fireplaces--two wood-burning and one gas--add warmth and character. The rooms flow naturally to covered porches, balconies and outdoor living spaces, with an outdoor kitchen and hot tub taking full advantage of the views and Taos skies. The ranch offers possibilities well beyond its current use. Two additional buildable parcels with access to town water and sewer provide potential for guest casitas, extended family or a larger compound, subject to applicable approvals. Work is already underway toward permitting for a farm-stay bed & breakfast, with the hacienda as its heart and the potential for additional guest accommodations. Horses, sheep, llamas, gardens, orchards or a working agricultural operation could all find a place here. Thoughtful infrastructure makes year-round ranch living comfortable: radiant floor heat, passive and active solar design, an extensive solar hot-water system and a natural-gas backup generator. Both garages, the tack room and storage shed are heated, while gated entrances and a comprehensive security system add privacy and peace of mind. Make it a private ranch, an equestrian estate, a family compound, a working agricultural property or create a distinctly Taos farm-stay experience. Few properties bring together this quality of home, productive land, water, agricultural potential and spectacular scenery in one offering. You're not just buying a ranch. You're creating a lifestyle.
