High Mesa Cottage is located on a 1.1 acre lot about fifteen minutes from the ski area and ten minutes from Taos Plaza. The house was built in 2004 on a mesa about five hundred feet above the town of Taos, and offers stunning 360 degree views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Rio Grande Valley. No house in the area has better views of New Mexico's highest peaks and O'Keefe's much-painted Cerro Pedernal. No highway noise can be heard on this quiet lane as it is surrounded by open space, horse properties, and just a few other houses. Not many surrounding lights make ideal conditions for viewing the night sky on the deck or from the private hot tub located just outside. A high-speed wireless broadband internet connection is present allowing guests to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

Inside, the house has a modern, open floor plan with a large kitchen opening up to dining and living areas with 12 foot viga ceilings. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, and high-quality cookware and utensils. The living room has an adobe kiva fireplace as well as an entertainment center with satellite TV, bluetooth stereo, and DVD. Radiant heated floors throughout the house make walking barefoot a pleasure. The house features numerous custom touches such as limestone windowsills, skylights and ceiling fans in each bedroom.

The master suite consists of a large bedroom with king-size bed, five-piece bath, and large walk-in closet, along with a satellite TV. The other two bedrooms have queen beds, large closets, and mountain views. The second bathroom and bedroom are at the opposite end of a long hallway from the master suite to allow for privacy. The third bedroom is off the living area with french doors and shades for privacy.

Once here, we are convinced you will agree that this is a very special location and will want to return. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Please take a look and call or email for more information.
