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.

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 pellet 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.
