Architect designed and built A-frame Chalet in the alpine forest at the very top of El Salto Road, 2 miles above the charming village of Arroyo Seco. The back property line is the wilderness. A very cozy, tasteful, small, natural light-filled, QUIET and private retreat, located in the forest and surrounded by mature pine, cedar, and oak trees. Only 12 minutes walk to the (100') waterfall, or the Zen Buddhist Meditation Center. Nature walks, mountain hikes, cross-country skiing, and snow shoeing are out your front door!
IT IS 20 MINUTES drive to TAOS SKI VALLEY; or DOWNTOWN TAOS PLAZA
*NOTE: 4WD (4x4) IS REQUIRED for year round access.
I AM LOOKING FOR A RELIABLE SINGLE (possibly couple) who can afford the rent without dramas. I am a kind and attentive landlord.
