Welcome to Panacea de Taos a one-of-a-kind... architect-designed earthship set on 2.5 unfenced acres in El Prado, just 10 minutes from Taos Plaza. Set above its own arroyo, the home combines classic Northern New Mexico architecture with passive-solar design, expansive skies. Traditional viga ceilings and natural wood run throughout the home. Floor-to-ceiling passive-solar windows span the southern side, filling the living spaces with light and framing sweeping mountain and territorial views.

The spacious open living and dining area centers around a beautiful traditional kiva with natural-gas fireplace insert. The open kitchen flows into a dining area for six, while a separate reading/study area offers a place to work or retreat. Primary suite features expansive views, walk-in closet and private 1-1/4 bath with shower. The second adobe bedroom features traditional farmer doors and is adjacent to a second full bath with shower.

One distinctive feature is the indoor garden environment with planted terrariums, passive-solar windows and vented skylights bringing light, greenery and the changing seasons into the home.

Outdoor Living
The east-facing covered portal, surrounded by landscaping looks towards Taos Mountain and makes an ideal spot for morning coffee with the sunrise. To the south a flagstone deck and private hot tub overlook the lights of Taos and the surrounding landscape - an extraordinary place for sunsets, stargazing and watching the Milky Way. A third outdoor space offers additional territorial views and a winter glimpse toward Georgia O'Keefe's Pedernal in the distance. The 2.5 acre property is unfenced with a steep natural arroyo along the south and west boundaries. Home is reached by paved road maintained by the road association.
