Casa de Taos - Adobe Retreat, Hot Tub & Mesa Views

Summary:

Welcome to Casa de Taos, an artful adobe home on 2.5 private acres of high-desert mesa with sweeping mountain views. Soak in the outdoor hot tub beneath brilliant starry skies, lounge on the wraparound covered porch, and sunbathe in the walled courtyard. Warm up by the wood-burning stove, cook in the chef's kitchen, and feel the comfort of radiant-heated slate floors. Just minutes from Taos and Taos Ski Valley, it is an unforgettable Northern New Mexico escape.



The Space:

Casa de Taos is an artful adobe home tucked onto 2.5 private acres of sagebrush mesa, where sculpted walls, carved doors, and walls of glass frame sweeping mountain and high-desert views. The setting feels remote and serene, yet downtown Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and the ski valleys are all an easy drive away.



Inside, soaring wood ceilings, exposed steel trusses, and radiant-heated slate floors give the home a warm, gallery-like feel. The open living and dining areas flow out to a covered porch and a walled courtyard, so the line between indoors and the mesa nearly disappears. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room on cool desert evenings.



Whether you are here to ski, soak in the hot tub under the stars, explore Taos, or simply slow down on the mesa, Casa de Taos is a singular, design-forward basecamp for your Northern New Mexico stay.

Living Areas

The living room is the heart of the home, with a leather sectional and chaise, a cast-iron wood-burning stove, and a smart TV beneath dramatic wood-and-steel ceilings. Walls of glass pull in the light and the views, and the open layout connects easily to the dining area and kitchen, making it a natural place to gather after a day outdoors.



Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is built for real cooking, with a gas range, double wall oven, dishwasher, and a large island with bench seating. Tiled counters and warm wood cabinetry give it true Northern New Mexico character. The adjacent dining table seats six beneath a wrought-iron chandelier, with big windows framing the courtyard and mesa beyond.



Outdoor Space

Outside is where Casa de Taos truly shines. A covered porch wraps the home with deep wicker sofas, lounge chairs, and a dining table, all framing uninterrupted mountain views. A walled adobe courtyard offers cushioned loungers for sunbathing and stargazing, while flagstone patios, sage gardens, and a quiet bench invite slow mornings and golden-hour evenings on the mesa. A BBQ grill is on hand for cookouts.



Hot Tub

After a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Taos, unwind in the private hot tub set on a sheltered flagstone patio. Under the wide Northern New Mexico sky, it is the perfect place to soak, relax, and watch the stars come out.
