Eastern Star Retreat - Open Plan, well-appointed home with mountain views.

Beautiful Adobe-style, custom home with magnificent panoramic view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Slow down. Take in the scenery. Step outside and enjoy the crimson hues of the mountain range at every sunrise and sunset , or just stay cozy inside and gaze at nature from our walls of windows. After a hard day on the ski slope or from hiking, relax in the bubbly hot tub, read your favorite book by the fireplace, or sip your favorite drink on east-facing portals.

This well-appointed, comfortable home tastefully displays a collection of southwest pottery, paintings, lightings, custom stained-glass artwork and other collectibles in every room. It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The home is located in the coveted Blueberry Hill area, next to one of Taos’ main paved roads. No 4WD or lengthy drive on spine-jolting gravel roads is involved! Home sits high on a 5-acre lot with privacy fence. It is 5.5 miles from Taos Plaza and a quick, easy drive to restaurants, shops, sights, and outdoor recreational activities including fly fishing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, white water rafting, and golfing.

The first master bedroom is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and an en suite bath with double sinks. The second master bedroom also sports an en suite full bath with double sinks. Both en suite baths have large walk-in shower for easy, convenient access. The third bathroom is located next door to the third bedroom, and it has a bathtub and shower combo. All bedrooms and bathrooms come with luxurious linens and towels.

The spacious 21' x 25' great room truly speaks to quality family time as it provides multiple seating areas and a collection of table games for the young and old. The house has an ideal chef's kitchen. All sorts of cookware, cooking utensils and serving dishes are provided for any size meal sharing.

Eastern Star Retreat is a single level, modern, custom-built adobe-style home. No sunken living room or baths like many homes in this area. No steps or spiral staircase to climb or maneuver. Certainly, convenient and safe home features for all members of the family.

The radiant floor heating system under the Saltillo tiles provides gentle, even, warm air throughout home in the winter months. In the warmer months, the evaporative cooling system naturally changes the warm, dry air of this region into cool, moist air inside the home.

You will feel instantly welcome and pleased as you enter the house and are presented with a foyer, a fireplace and a majestic mountain view. A true family get-away vacation! In the event you find the need to stay connected with the information highway, the high-speed fiber optic internet is in place for you.

Eastern Star is the perfect retreat for ALL seasons.

Spacious with Great Views
The house was very clean and well organized. Everything was labeled which made finding things very simple. The instruction sheets made the electronics easy to use too. The photos made it appear that the house was further off the beaten path than it really is. It sits alongside a fairly busy street making the elevated patio feel like you’re on display.

Wonderful Stay
We stayed at this lovely home while attending Michael Hearne’s Big Barn Dance. The owners have thought of every detail in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The home is beautifully furnished and is located close enough to Taos to be there in 10 minutes but far away enough to see the stars at night! The Mountain View was beautiful from everywhere in the house. Highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful and well equipped lodging
It was a great set up for two couples and another adult. Great living/dining area. We cooked in two nights and it was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and otherwise.The decor was beautiful as well, and especially appreciated the Peruvian artifacts (one of our family is Peruvian). Hot tub was lovely way to come off the day. Mattresses and pillows not our preferred firmness (we go for hard beds and soft pillows) but in excellent shape.

Family vacation
6 of us, ranging in ages from 75+ to 19 years, stayed for 3 nights. We loved the property and the personal touches of the owners. Everything looked just as in the pictures and in great working order. Prior to the stay, I was concerned that the cooling system might not do the job. In reality, on some of the hottest days of the year, it worked great. Overall, cannot recommend this property enough. I would stay here again in a minute!

Amazing house!
We had the best time. This is probably the best house that we have stayed at while traveling. The house is well stocked with everything in both the kitchen and bathrooms. The beds were all comfortable. Rooms were plenty spacious to not feel crammed. The living space is plenty big for 2 families to relax in. The hot tub was great to relax in after a day of skiing. The host is very responsive to questions. Check in was very easy. About a 30 minute drive to the ski valley. We would stay here again!

This is a very beautiful adobe style home! It was clean, well organized, came with very detailed instruction on how to work everything in the home, also had a good verity of board games for a good night of family fun. Location was perfect, just outside of Taos so we were able to have a good view of the mountains.

Lots of room!
I rented this property for a weekend with some college friends. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We loved spending most of our time together in the open kitchen/living room/dining room area. The beds were comfortable and the three full baths were more than enough. If we visit Taos again, we'll rent this home again.
