HONDO MESA (24A)

WELCOME TO ADOBE DE ARTISTA -- Where art, charm, and investment potential converge under the big Taos sky. Looking for a turn-key property with serious short-term rental mojo? This one’s got it! A guest favorite for years, Adobe de Artista boasts a loyal following of return visitors who just can’t get enough. Already in compliance with the new Taos County STR ordinance (though the permit isn’t transferable), the groundwork has been laid for smooth re-permitting. Furnishings? Let’s talk—available via separate bill of sale. High-speed fiber optic internet to keep remote life humming. This one-of-a-kind adobe is over 2,000 square feet of handcrafted soul. Designed and built by iconic Taos painter Ed Sandoval, the home is a sculptural blend of adobe, mica, straw, stone, and wood—an earthy, radiant, living work of art. Set on 1.25 acres and bordering Pueblo land, you’ll never lose sight of the mountains or the peace. Step inside and you’re wrapped in the soft curves and textures of classic Taos style: plaster walls, vigas, hand-troweled tile, and light-filled spaces. One of two living rooms features a sunken lounge, banco seating, and a traditional southwest style fireplace perfect for cozy nights in. The open-concept main living space flows into a kitchen with custom cabinets and a dining area where a massive round window perfectly frames the Sangre de Cristos. The primary bedroom is generous, serene, and romantic—featuring painted plank floors, a walk-in closet, and a second stunning fireplace with mica shimmer. The en suite bath? Think river rock shower + tiny fireplace = spa-like bliss. The second bedroom is sunny and opens to a private patio, with its own en suite bath for guests or renters. A third full bath and laundry closet complete the layout. Outside, you’ll find multiple patios, shady spots, and stargazing nooks—plus a hot tub made for soaking under the Milky Way. There’s also a carport and gear storage for your skis, bikes, or fly rods. Just 20 minutes to Taos Plaza and 25 to the Ski Valley, this is more than a home—it’s a retreat, a vibe, and a smart investment all wrapped into one adobe masterpiece.
