10 Los Cordovas Dr, Ranchos De Taos, NM 87557

Welcome to Castillo del Solterra, a Northern New Mexico Wonder! A breathtaking adobe masterpiece nestled on over 4.5 acres in the prestigious gated Taos Country Club subdivision, offering unparalleled views of the Taos Mountains. This extraordinary estate is a seamless blend of timeless Southwestern architecture and modern comfort, just steps from Hole 14 and 15 of Taos Country Club. As you step through the walled archway with double doors, framed by towering pine trees, a flagstone garden pathway leads you to the vibrant stained-glass entry. From the very first moment you step inside, you will feel at home. Spanning 4,950 sq. ft. of living space in the main house AND 2,400 sq. ft. of covered portals, this architectural marvel is a sanctuary of elegance, with soaring 18-foot cathedral ceilings in the Great Room, adorned with pine vigas, corbels, and intricate herringbone latillas. Traditional mud-and-straw plaster, a striking Kiva fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while framing majestic mountain vistas. The home has radiant in-floor heating, and four Trombe walls on the south side of the home allowing for additional warmth in those cold winter months. Thoughtful details are found throughout, including Saltillo tile floors, step-down sconces, antique chandeliers, and diamond-finish plaster- each working in harmony to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The expansive dining area flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, custom copper cabinetry, a butcher block island, abundant storage, and a large pantry, making it a dream space for culinary enthusiasts. The primary en-suite on one side of the home is a private retreat, featuring a second Kiva fireplace, walk-in closet, mini-split A/C, and a spa-like large bathroom with a soaking tub, and an oversized shower for two. A stairway leads to a bonus room with a Juliet balcony, offering an inspiring setting for an office, art studio, or yoga space with breathtaking views of the Picuris Mountains. The guest wing on the other side of the house is a world of its own, featuring three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a home theater or fitness room, separate entrance with parking and private portal, making it an ideal space for creative use or investment potential. This wing has a lush lawn, mature Aspens, and Evergreens creating a serene outdoor escape. There is plenty of room to add a kitchenette. This wing also houses a very large laundry room, with sink, tons of storage, and plenty of counterspace. Designed for entertaining and income-producing potential, the separate guest house boasts a massive 1,200 sq. ft. with separate entrance, a full kitchen and bathroom, beautiful stained concrete floors, windows galore, covered portal and balcony with endless mountain and golf course views. This would make for a perfect guest suite or rental opportunity. Below this casita, for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those needing ample storage, the four-door multi-car heated garage and workshop space, with an additional large storage area, offers endless possibilities spanning over 1,600 square feet. For a gated community, the low yearly HOA fee of $800.00 is wonderful, and this covers the electric gates into the subdivision, road maintenance and snow removal. Country Club Golf membership is completely optional and not required. Set against a backdrop of majestic mountain scenery, this estate offers the rare combination of privacy, space, and proximity to local amenities. Whether you seek a personal retreat, an entertainer’s paradise, or an exceptional investment, this adobe marvel is an unparalleled opportunity. This one would be nearly impossible to recreate with today’s construction costs. Come experience THIS magic for yourself and be ready to be absolutely amazed! 3D interior Matterport video tour and exterior drone video are also available on this listing.
