Eastern Star Retreat is a well-appointed, comfortable, custom-built, adobe-style home with a magnificent 360 view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range. The home is located 5.5 miles to Taos Plaza and 15 miles to Taos Ski Valley.Beautiful Adobe-style, custom home with magnificent panoramic view of Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Slow down. Take in the scenery. Enjoy the crimson hues of the mountain range at every sunrise and sunset from our unique second-story gazebo and spacious portals, or just stay cozy inside and gaze at nature from our walls of windows. After a hard day on the ski slope or from hiking, relax in the bubbly hot tub, read your favorite book by the fireplace, or sip your favorite drink on east-facing portals.

This well-appointed, comfortable home tastefully displays a collection of southwest potteries, paintings, lightings, custom stained-glass artwork and other collectibles in every room. It offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The home is located in the coveted Blueberry Hill area, at the corner of one of Taos’ main paved roads. No 4WD or long-distance drive on dirt or gravel, spine-jolting roads is involved! Home sits high on a 5-acre lot with privacy fence. Home is 5.5 miles from Taos Plaza and a quick, easy drive to restaurants, shops, sights, and outdoor recreational activities including fly fishing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, snow boarding, white water rafting, and golfing.

The first master bedroom is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and an en suite bath with double sinks. The 2nd master bedroom also sports an en suite full bath with double sinks. Both en suite baths have large walk-in shower for easy, convenient access. The 3rd bathroom is located next door to 3rd bedroom, and it has a bathtub and shower combo.

Back problems? No worries. Each bedroom is provided with Sealy Premium Posturepedic king mattress set. Mattress 6-sided encasements and soft, noiseless and breathable protectors are used on all beds to reduce allergens, increase comfort level, and keep them clean and fresh.

Kent and I are from Texas and we love to go to Taos and be away from the hot and humid weather for a few days. We have also been in awe with the New Mexico landscape. After a few trips to Taos, we decided to buy a home here. As the Taos locals have told us, "The mountain is calling!" and, yes, we responded heartily by claiming it as our second home.
