Set in the historic community of Cañón, just minutes from the heart of Taos, this house and casita occupy 1.29 acres in a setting that still reflects the quiet, agricultural character of one of the valley’s oldest settlements. Tucked off Witt Road and only a few hundred feet from the historic Río Fernando, the property feels remarkably serene while remaining close to town. The main residence offers two bedrooms each with their own separate bath as a part of a well appointed 1,432 square foot home that has an additional bonus of an 820-square-foot attached studio space. Generous and adaptable, the studio can remain a separate art enclave or creative workspace, serve as a substantial home office, or potentially be reconfigured as a private in-law or family apartment. There is also a covered 132-square-foot shed, ideal for storing tools, lawn equipment, and other outdoor essentials. A separate 1,256-square-foot casita offers one bedroom and one-and-a-half baths and is appointed in a simple Spanish style that feels particularly at home in Cañón. Radiant floors, granite countertops, modern updated appliances, and a cozy horno-style kiva fireplace combine traditional Southwestern character with comfortable contemporary living. The casita provides an inviting space for guests or extended family, with the added possibility of independent rental use. It is conveniently spaced on the lot to allow for maximum privacy between the two homes. The property includes both community water and a private well for agricultural use—an increasingly valuable combination for those interested in gardens, orchards, or simply maintaining the land. Three apple trees, along with established apricot and pear trees, and a large flower garden add to the property’s small-orchard character and its connection to Cañón’s long agricultural tradition. Here, the appeal is as much about place as it is about the buildings: 1.29 acres of land, agricultural water, established fruit trees, flexible living and studio spaces, and the peaceful character of Cañón, a community whose history has been shaped for generations by the Río Fernando and the agricultural landscape surrounding it. It is a rare opportunity to own a small serene piece of that landscape while living only minutes from Taos Plaza. Please see this home in 3-D at:https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=z1DUgZMneVY
