Vacation Rental Description

We are offering this rambling 70 year hacienda style adobe,  
recently remodeled and located in Ranchos de Taos, NM, which is just  
south of Taos. It sits on a rim road with a view of the Taos Valley  
below and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range in full view, hence  
the name Vista Royale. This incredible site is made even more  
spectacular when viewed through the giant picture window in the  
mudfloored living room. Though only two bedrooms are listed, there  
is a large southside sunroom with a futon bed. Beds can be provided  
as needed.  All common rooms are very spacious.   
     This is the former home of Ranchos painter Carlos Hall, who  
oversaw many of the renovations. As a result, plenty of good light  
abounds for artistic endevours. The interior walls are almost 2 feet  
thick. Incredibly massive vigas loom throughout, as well as windows  
at every turn.  The entire southside wall is glass, which is great  
for the passive solar gain.  This captured heat is  released from  
the walls at night to help keep guests comfortable. Radian base  
board heat is also utilized.  
     In our spacious livingroom we have an efficient woodstove with  
a beautiful mosaic fire wall. It is a terrific room for entertaining  
since it is adjoined by a large dining room, with the kitchen just  
around the corner. The kitchen has a large tiled island that people  
like to hang around as meals are being prepared.  
     The front yard is enclosed. This not only helps keep stray  
critters out but keeps children and pets in. The front gate must be  
at least 150 years old.  
     As a retreat for the artistic types such as writers and   
painters, this house works well because of its quietness and  
inspirational forms and views. Painting opportunities can be  
provided upon request. 
     Skiers and other vacationers will enjoy the spaciousness which  
nurtures the comaradrie of larger groups.   
     Website pictures will be up November 26,2007
