Private El Salto Retreat | Live Water, Aspen Groves & Mountain Views

Description:
Escape to an end-of-the-road sanctuary in El Salto where privacy, sweeping mountain views, and the soothing presence of live water create a truly magical Northern New Mexico retreat. Surrounded by towering aspens, cottonwoods, spruce, fir, and pine, this peaceful property offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and timeless craftsmanship.

Approach the home along a quiet country road and arrive at a welcoming covered porch framed by beautifully handcrafted exterior doors—an inviting entry into this warm and character-filled mountain home.

Inside, the spacious open floor plan is filled with natural light from large windows that frame stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly together, creating a comfortable gathering space whether you're enjoying a quiet evening by the wood stove or entertaining after a day of exploring Taos.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a cozy attached office or media nook that can also serve as a sleeping space for an additional guest. The large bathroom is accessible from both the suite and the entry hall, making it convenient for guests.

One of the home's most distinctive features is the beautiful mahogany spiral staircase, a striking architectural centerpiece that leads upstairs to a flexible landing area—perfect for a reading lounge, workspace, or media corner.

Upstairs, two guest bedrooms capture breathtaking views of El Salto Mountain and share a spacious bathroom with a deep soaking tub—ideal for unwinding after skiing, hiking, or exploring nearby trails. A walk-in closet between the bedrooms provides additional convenience for longer stays.

Mini-splits installed summer 2026 now provide A/C to all bedrooms as well as the main living/dining/kitchen area.

Step outside and discover the true magic of the property. The large upstairs deck is an incredible place to gather at sunset, offering expansive western views over the land and surrounding mountains. Below, the covered patio and flagstone pathways wind through the property, inviting you to explore the beautiful acreage.
