A piece of Taos History is waiting for its next chapter.... The Estate of Taos visionary Gene Sanchez, known for his contribution to Taos politics, art & architecture, offers an opportunity to shape the landscape of Taos' future.

Partial basement under the main house. Designed with artistic precision and attention to detail, the home features timeless traditional Southwest architecture with modern lifestyle comforts.

The home showcases rich hardwood floor, dramatic hand-crafted Viga beamed ceilings, smooth plaster walls and a formal dining room and expansive living space. Large windows throughout, flood the home with natural light, framing the iconic New Mexico sunsets. Just off the flagstone patio is a cozy 500 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath casita complete with adobe fireplace.
