Description
Welcome to The Fortress: An enchanting, historic adobe home, on the west side of Ranchos Plaza in Ranchos de Taos that has made its way into architectural books with its arched doorways and 3-foot thick adobe walls. The oldest part of the home was built in the 1640’s, with lore throughout the centuries that this structure was continuously a place of shelter, sanctuary and healing. The entire place has been remodeled inside and out, and upkept with integrity and care. It is one of two 3-story adobe homes in Taos, with the glorious light of New Mexico flooding the second and third stories, with beautiful views of the mountains. Stepping inside the gate of the six-foot adobe walls transports you to a secret garden, full of tall, mature trees offering shade, fruit tress of apricot, peach and cherry, lilac bushes, roses and lush perennial gardens. Situated on the south side of town, it is only a 75-minute drive to Santa Fe, and a 2.25-hour drive to the airport in Albuquerque. Short walking distance to two restaurants (Old Martinez Hall & Ranchos Grill), coffee shop (Mountain Monk), art galleries on the Ranchos Plaza, and the San Francisco de Assisi Church. An arm of the Rio Pueblo runs through the neighborhood, which is largely residential, pasture and orchards. This home is a duplex with two separate units. Both units are cozy and elegantly artistic, with tons of the New Mexican abode charm of wood floors, ceiling vigas, tile, and thick adobe walls. One common laundry room shared by both units, accessible by external entry. One common outdoor shed. The insulation value of adobe is excellent! The home stays cozy and warm in the winter, and comfortably cool in the summer. Home can be converted into 3 units or back into one grand house. Excellent invest property with instant passive income opportunities.
