Colorfully & Uniquely Taos

El Prado, New Mexico, United States

This 2800-square-foot, 2 story, 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was completely remodeled in 2013 and just this year have installed new exterior and interior doors, a new covered entrance, new lighting in kitchen and baths, recently fully operational windows were installed which enhances the entire south side of the home, allowing that cool Taos breeze to flow right on through!! You will find Casa Contenta located on the highest bluff in an area just 3/10 of a mile north of the old blinking light (junction of Hwys 522 & 150, which is the road to the Taos Ski Valley.) brbrThe home’s layout offers a spacious interior while providing unique separation for two couples/families. All bedrooms are located on the ground floor but the two main bedrooms are located on the opposite ends. The remaining ground floor consists of yet another bedroom offering three twin beds and a window banquette. Yet, this floor offers even more. Designed solely for kids or the young at heart, the map area displays old antique maps, children’s puzzles and games, along with an array of video games, all complemented by one very large banquette that can easily accommodate seating for the entire family or sleep comfortably two kids. brbrThe upstairs has a panoramic view through numerous windows and a spacious deck for the morning coffee or evening cocktails, designed openly from the kitchen which allows the dining & living rooms to flow evenly to nurture the truly amazing views of the mountains and valley sunrises and sunsets. Recently, we added a swamp cooler with a thermostat to control the temperature that will help keep our guests cool in even the warmest days.brbrThe kitchen has been upgraded, too, with brand new appliances and is equipped to accommodate an extravagant dining experience or a simple cup of “joe”. The dining table seats comfortably six, while the living room coffee table may accommodate three others who desire to be inspired by a little DishTV while dining.brbr The home is very unique and is decorated in the true Taos tradition, from vigas accenting each ceiling, complemented by ceiling fans in the main bedrooms, to the saltillo tile and wood floors adorned by antique and Persian hand-made rugs, with distinctive antiques, as well as original and hand-made art that has been collected over the years and placed tastefully throughout the house. Along with old adobe straw stucco, there are also vibrantly painted walls which allow those who may not be so inspired at home to experience Taos’s true legacy of passionate colors in an everyday setting.brbrThis home has a wonderful, serene setting and yet is only a few minutes from all Taos has to offer...great restaurants, shops and many world class outdoor winter and summer activities.brbrCasa Contenta welcomes you to explore the Taos experience. We’re encouraged that once you're here, you won't want to leave.brbrWe only use plant-based, non-scented cleaning products throughout the home.brbrAlthough this area is extremely quiet and peaceful, for those desiring a further sense of security, the home is equipped with extensive outdoor lighting, along with outdoor Ring cameras for your safety day and night.brbrThe house can accommodate up to six adults, but please read the further description so you can decide if the layout is appropriate for your group. When you walk in the front door, there is a queen bedroom to your left. If you were to go straight, there is a staircase leading upstairs to the kitchen, dining, living, 3/4 bath and the upstairs deck. From the front door if you were to go straight, you would find a full bath. If you took your next right, you would see the map room, with the banquette seating area and the laundry room across from the map room. Continuing on, you will go down two steps into the twin bedroom which contains two twin beds and a smaller-than-a-twin bed. Walking across that room you will encounter a door which enters right into the master bedroom which has its own full bathroom attached to it. In order to get out of the master bedroom, you must either walk through the twin bedroom or you can use the door exterior door found in the master bedroom and use the outside stairs to access the upper floor. It is a little unusual and works for some and not others, but we like to describe it for you so there are no surprises.brbrbr

Bright Star Compound in Arroyo Seco ~ Halfway Between Taos Plaza and Ski Valley

El Prado, New Mexico, United States

----- 2 Master Bedroom Suites / 2 Full Kitchens / Courtyard, Patio, Deck, Covered Portal -----brbrBright Star Casa & Casita is in the Arroyo Seco/Des Montes area on a high mesa with wrap-around mountain views. brbrLocated half way between Taos Plaza and Taos Ski Valley, it is 9 miles to the plaza and 11 miles to the lifts, making it ideal for a vacation at any time of the year. brbrThis property has spectacular 360 degree views of the Taos area mountain ranges and the desert plains to the west. In the distance, one can see the Rio Grande rift.brbrBright Star includes a Casa (sleeps 6 in beds) and a Casita (sleeps 4 in beds) and both are under one roof, for a total of 10. There are comfortable cots with 4 mattresses for an additional 6. Thus, we can sleep a total of 16.brbrTo rent the Casa without the Casita, search for HomeAway #4628225. The Casa alone sleeps 10, with 4 of those on cots.brbrA 7- person, 16-jet hot tub has a great view of the mountains to the East, and there is ample parking for 12 or more cars. There are 2 covered car ports under the 440 square foot partially covered Casita deck. It has a kiva fireplace and offers spectacular 360 degree views of the entire Taos county mountains and plains. brbrThe property occupies two and a half acres of land, and has a lovely acequia (irrigation watercourse) which winds through the property. When the acequia is running, which is early spring into late summer, there is a small pond on the south end that is separately fenced for the benefit of the horses which frequently graze there. brbrThe observatory on the property is operated remotely over the internet and images from the observatory are on the walls. High definition digital copies of these images are free to guests. This is a perfect location with very dark skies for you to bring your own telescope.brbrBright Star Casa is a southwestern-style stucco, one story home with traditional Taos blue-trimmed windows. Arroyo Seco and neighboring Arroyo Hondo are charming ranching communities with historic roots in the Spanish Land Grant system. The Casa is within walking distance to Arroyo Seco on a rural road which passes an old Penitente cemetery and the back of Julia Roberts’ 50-acre ranch.brbrThis spacious adobe hacienda was built in the mid ‘90s of hand-made adobe blocks covered with stucco. The resulting 12” thick adobe walls provide excellent insulation summer and winter, and keep inside temperatures relatively cool in the summer. (Summer temperatures in Arroyo Seco average 4 degrees cooler than temps in Taos.) The house features Spanish colonial corbels and lintels, romantic arches, flagstone, brick and timber. The ceilings are roughhewn logs, called vigas, layered with pine slats, called latillas. The radiant-heated floors are Saltillo tile. brbrOn the exterior, the 3000 square foot house features a 500 square foot courtyard off the long hall, portals (covered entrances), and a kitchen patio with a kiva fireplace and a dining table for 6. brbrBright Star Casa sleeps up to 14, with 2 king bedrooms and a bedroom with 2 twin beds which can also be made up as a king. An additional 8 folding mattresses (4” thick) with cots sleep up to 8 adults or children. Adults usually find them comfortable too. The cots that hold the mattresses are a spacious 30 x 76 x18 and are rated for a 330 pound person. The picture gallery includes an image of a cot with mattress. These are amazingly comfortable to sleep on. Three bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom. The fourth bathroom is accessed from the hall for the convenience of all the guests.br brBright Star Casita is a recently constructed 1200 square foot Casita with great room and full-kitchen on the first floor, and a double-sink bathroom, large master bedroom, and laundry/closet on the second floor. The great room includes an island with 4 stools and a wood burning kiva fireplace. Both floors have viga/latilla ceilings.
