Property Description

This extraordinary log home is nothing short of a showplace, combining a luxurious living space with a wooded hilltop homesite, magnificent views, and wide open skies that are ideal for stargazing.

From a deep, covered front porch, you enter the great room, which is on an open floorplan with the kitchen and dining areas. A back door allows access to the covered back porch, which may also be accessed from the master bedroom.

The great room has a vaulted ceiling, large windows, and a fireplace with a BIS woodstove insert. The fireplace surround will be a work of art when you add your finishing touches.

The kitchen is a gourmet's delight, with a six-burner Wolf stove and other top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, solid hickory cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. Countertops in the kitchen and all three bathrooms are quartzite, a hard, metamorphic rock that was originally sandstone. A quartzite-topped bar divides the kitchen from the great room, and an island with a built-in wine rack provides additional workspace.

Also downstairs are the master suite, one of two guest rooms, a half bath, a laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer, and through the laundry room, access to the attached and heated three-car garage. The master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet.

Split-log stairs lead to the loft, and just off the loft is an ensuite guest room, which could easily be a second master suite. Flanking the guest room is ample under-eaves storage space.

The home is super-insulated, with a rating of R67 insulation in the ceiling. Radiant floor heat has five distinct zones, and the home is so energy efficient that the current owner keeps the thermostats between 55-60 degrees, even in the coldest weather. Throughout, floors are Pergo or ceramic tile, and ceilings are tongue-and-groove. Walls are a combination of log and plaster.

Mora County is a scenic drive from Taos County, connected by State Road 518.
