Dog-friendly 1795 adobe with hand-hewn vigas on Taos's High Road. Watch sunrise over Taos Mountain and sunset over Sangre de Cristo and Picuris from a walled garden of fruit trees, alive with birds. Hand-carved doors, mica-flecked walls, a working kiva fireplace — 10 minutes to town and 40 to Taos Ski Valley.
The house blends Puebloan, Spanish Colonial, and American architectural traditions: hand-plastered diamond-finish walls that shimmer with mica, 13-foot viga ceilings, hand-carved doors, and antique hardware throughout. A working kiva fireplace warms the coved-ceiling den. Upstairs, a 25x25 foot primary suite opens through French doors onto a long balcony overlooking the Ranchos Valley
Guests have the full 1.7 acres — the house, the walled garden, and the flagstone patio with its fire pit for stargazing. The garden is planted with roses, wildflowers, and culinary herbs. Binoculars and a bird guide are on hand for the remarkable variety of species that pass through daily. A ukulele lives in the den, board games are stocked for slow evenings, and disc golf baskets are set up around the property between the piñon and the garden. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor. The primary suite is upstairs, accessible via a Handicare stair lift for anyone who prefers not to use the stairs.
Neurosis Ridge is proudly dog-friendly, with bowls, beds, fully enclosed yard and a dedicated waste station on the property. The name was coined by Andrew Dasburg, one of American modernism's defining figures — a wry tribute to the restless creative spirits this landscape has always attracted. A traditional adobe horno, built by a Pueblo artisan, stands on the property as a beautiful piece of living history (not available for guest use, but we're happy to share its story).

We had a wonderful stay at Neurosis Ridge! The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the unique New Mexican character of the property. The location was great for exploring the area while still feeling private and quiet when we returned home. The views from the home are absolutely stunning and the outdoor areas were our favorite feature. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the second story deck and ate every meal under the covered patio. Everything was clean, well cared for, and thoughtfully arranged. Noah was helpful and kind. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay here again. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable Taos experience!

Thank you so much, Jamaica! It made us happy to hear you spent time on the second story deck and every meal under the covered patio — that's exactly how we hope guests use the outdoor spaces. So glad the peace and quiet came through, and we'd love to welcome you back to Neurosis Ridge any time!
About the host
Hosted by Noah Pettus
I live on-site at Neurosis Ridge half time in a private casita, where I manage the property and love sharing this historic corner of Taos County with guests. I’m passionate about hospitality, good food, and helping people slow down and actually experience Northern New Mexico rather than just pass through it. Hosting here means I get to introduce guests to the local artisans, restaurants, and quiet trails that make this place special — and I’m always just a text away if you need anything during your stay.
Why they chose this property
Talpa sits on the historic High Road to Taos, land that’s been farmed and lived on for over 1,200 years. This stretch of road drew the founders of the Taos art colony in the late 1800s, and that same creative, unhurried spirit is still here. I love that you can watch the sun rise over Taos Mountain and set over the Sangre de Cristos from the same property, and that you’re minutes from Taos Plaza and Ranchos de Taos, but wake up to total silence and dark skies. It’s the rare place that’s both close to everything and genuinely peaceful.
What makes this property unique
Neurosis Ridge is a 1795 adobe compound with real architectural history — hand-plastered walls flecked with mica, 13-foot viga ceilings, and a working kiva fireplace. It was named by Andrew Dasburg, one of the defining figures of the Taos art colony, as a nod to the restless creative spirits this landscape has always drawn in. Beyond the house itself, we’ve built the stay around genuine local knowledge — a full digital guide to our favorite restaurants, hikes, and hidden spots, dog-friendly grounds with fenced yard access, and thoughtful details like an Avocado mattress and Los Poblanos bath products made right here in New Mexico.
