CASA NUAANARPOQ Inuit for "taking extravagant pleasure in being alive". Every inch of this dreamy, energy-efficient and eco-friendly, custom-built home was intentionally and thoughtfully designed by local architect Ken Anderson of Edge Architects in collaboration with the sellers. A nature lovers paradise set on 40 acres bordering the Rio Grande national monument and Wild and Scenic Rivers Recreation with sweeping 360 panoramic views. Enjoy a short hike to nearby John Dunn Bridge and take a relaxing soak in the natural Black Rock Hot Springs. Endless hiking trails and wildlife abounds. Enjoy the soul-nurturing tranquility this property commands. Located between Town of Taos and route to world class Taos Ski Valley. 100% solar powered energy, off-grid. Red willow details foraged locally in Taos Ski Valley compliment custom aspen and doulas fir cabinetry. Wood pillars were custom designed in the likeness of a DNA double helix. Two 1,500 gallon cisterns (water catchment systems) catch rainwater and snow to filter through a filtration system to provide potable water usage. Grey water is recycled and used to water two garden areas on the south side of the property and near the main entrance. 10 inch thick real adobe walls are wrapped with 14 inch straw bale for extra insulation, four times as efficient as R-45 insulation. Watch the sunsets from the rooftop area with second story access from the office space and stairs from the lower level patio. The property boasts an observatory with a clamshell roof that opens up for night sky viewing through the telescope. The telescope connects virtually to open remotely from the property. This property is stunning, truly a "must see".
