"The Distillery" An oasis in the Land of Enchantment

Description

Located in the valley below historic Taos, NM, the "distillery" is set under very mature trees, surrounded by extensive gardens while still overlooking the sacred Taos mountain. Our home offers a quiet retreat in an area rich with history and arts. The house is an old adobe, with a new kitchen and master suite. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a library and drawing room as well as patios for al fresco dining. A 10 minute walk from the historic Taos plaza, we are conveniently located while maintaining the feel of a quiet retreat. The area is historically significant: The Taos Pueblo is the oldest continually inhabited structure in the country, and continues to engage the community with traditional dances and events. Before becoming a part of the United States, the area was settled by the Spanish and hosted a number of outlaws. In the early 20th century, Georgia O'Keefe and DH Lawrence helped to establish the area with the Taos Moderns as an art destination. The community continues to thrive with all of these historical influences. Taos Mountain is renowned for outdoor enthusiasts and offers top notch skiing in the winter while the Rio Grande is well known in river running circles. There are interesting festivals and events throughout the calendar year, and the town of Taos is only an hour from Santa Fe.
