About the building
Welcome to The Fortress.… An enchanting, historic adobe home, on the west side of Ranchos Plaza in Ranchos de Taos that has made its way into architectural books with its arched doorways and 3-foot thick adobe walls. The oldest part of the home was built in the 1640's, with lore throughout the centuries that this structure was continuously a place of shelter, sanctuary and healing. The entire place has been remodeled inside and out, and upkept with integrity and care. It sits in direct alignment with the world-famous San Francisco de Assisi church, carrying connection to the angels. It is one of two 3-story adobe homes in Taos, with the glorious light of New Mexico flooding the second and third stories, with beautiful views of the mountains. Stepping inside the gate of the six-foot adobe walls transports you to a secret garden, full of tall, mature trees offering shade, fruit tress of apricot, peach and cherry, lilac bushes, roses and lush perennial gardens. Situated on the south side of town, it is only a 75-minute drive to Santa Fe, and a 2.25-hour drive to the airport in Albuquerque. Short walking distance to two restaurants (Old Martina's Hall & Ranchos Grill), coffee shop (Mountain Monk), art galleries on the Ranchos Plaza, and the San Francisco de Assisi Church. An arm of the Rio Pueblo runs through the neighborhood, which is largely residential, pasture and orchards.
This home is a duplex with two separate units.The property owner occasionally occupies the smaller unit. Both are fully furnished, including furniture, dishes & cookware, towels and linens. Both units are cozy and elegantly artistic, with tons of the New Mexican abode charm of wood floors, ceiling vigas, tile, and thick adobe walls. One common laundry room shared by both units, accessible by external entry. One common outdoor shed area, shared by both units. The insulation value of adobe is excellent! The home stays cozy and warm in the winter, and comfortably cool in the summer.
2-bedroom + office/flex space, 3-bathroom, walk-in closet, 2-living rooms, sofa sleeper in living room, full kitchen with updated gas range stove, dishwasher, and fridge; sky lights, smart TV, kiva fireplace, and 2-front doors. Big beautiful "portal"(outdoor covered porch area) with couch lounger and hammock overlooking the lawn and gardens.
