VISTA LINDA (52A)

This adobe sanctuary forged by hand and earth is a testament to the power of nature and the artistry of life. A hand built adobe home of this quality is a rarity. Bursting with natural light this Taos treasure was built in the old style to capture the warmth and magic of the original adobe dwellings. Meticulously finished there is nothing like it on the market. Surrounded by alluring views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and skies that seem to go on forever. This hacienda truly tells a story. Traditional finishes include double thick adobe walls built by hand from the soil of the surrounding land. Selected interior walls have been lime-washed using time honored original techniques. Others are straw-infused, nichos, hand hewn vigas, aspen and cedar and exquisite sealed earthen floors that are both enduring and eco friendly. Each room has a kiva southwest style fireplace, and hand-carved doors. Several interior doors are 3” solid wood slabs that have to be seen and touched to capture their beauty. Diamond finished hand plaster accents the bathrooms with stone carved vessel sinks.
