Peaceful Apartment in Historic Hacienda with Private Hot Tub

Embrace the old charm of this residence built over a century ago. The renovated home features concrete countertops, salvaged materials from school buildings, high ceilings, a private backyard with a BBQ dining area, and a shared interior courtyard. The spacious apartment is part of a hacienda style residence that was built over a century ago. The smooth contour of the adobe walls blend well with the more modern kitchen addition that features slanted southern windows for passive radiant heating, in the style of the famous "earthships" that were conceived by Kevin Reynolds. The newly renovated interior was designed for comfort and efficiency and features concrete countertops, salvaged materials from school buildings, a kitchen counter made from a bowling lane, and much more. The kitchen is large and well appointed; it includes extras that you don't often find in a vacation rental: stainless steel appliances, a Nespresso machine with milk frother, a dual oven range, a blender, and a toaster oven. The living space has a thick, soft wool area rug and a large smart TV. The high-end sleeper sofa is amazingly comfortable. The queen bed in the bedroom is also very comfy and has premium linens, down pillows, and a felted wool comforter made in a nearby village. You have the private back yard all to yourself, and it's perfect for outdoor dining in warm weather. When it's cooler, the custom kiva fireplace will keep you warm. You can cook outside on the built in outdoor grill. You can probably squeeze four into the 3-person hot tub. The front door of the apartment opens onto a lovely courtyard with a large old apple tree, a grassy area, and a plum tree. The apartment has a dedicated parking space just a few steps from the back door in a private lot. You have the private back yard and hot tub all to yourselves. The middle courtyard is shared by all condo owners. I am often available to meet you upon arrival and check you in myself, but if not, I will have my apartment manager greet you. If you will be arriving at night, I can leave a key for you. The apartment is located in the old historic district of Taos. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and situated for easy walking access to the plaza and the downtown area. If you have a large group, you may consider also renting my other property in the same building, Best Casita: A Hidden Jewel next to the plaza.
