This two-bedroom, two-bath straw bale and adobe home is a true El Salto gem, complete with a masterfully built octagonal adobe hogan. Located at the top of secluded Cottonwood Lane, the property sits on one lush acre with water rights and sweeping western views toward Three Peaks and El Pedernal, while the dramatic vistas of El Salto and Taos Mountain rise to the east. Built in 1995, the home features stained concrete floors with propane-powered in-floor radiant heat, supplemental solar hot water, a wood stove in the living room, and a kiva-style fireplace in the hogan. An east-facing porch overlooks a private side yard with wonderful potential for gardens, flowers, or vegetables, while a south-facing deck offers views toward Truchas through your own grove of aspens. Two storage sheds, one wired for electricity, provide abundant dry storage, studio space, or workshop potential. The main house includes two bedrooms and one full bath, along with an adobe studio addition with a half bath that could serve as an additional sleeping space. Separate from the main house, the approximately 250-square-foot hogan has its own deck, a three-quarter bath, and a kitchen sink, creating even more flexibility for guests, family, creative work, or quiet retreat. This was the home of Boulder, Utah and Taos artist Scotty Mitchell, whose pastel landscapes still grace the walls and echo the beauty of the surrounding land. With its warmth, hand-crafted character, views, and versatile spaces, this is a property that invites you to settle in, create, and feel deeply connected to place.
