Welcome to Castillo del Solterra – a Northern New Mexico Wonder!
This breathtaking adobe masterpiece is nestled on over 4.5 acres in the prestigious gated Taos Country Club subdivision, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Taos Mountains. Just steps from Holes 14 and 15 of the golf course, this extraordinary estate blends timeless Southwestern architecture with modern comfort, creating a truly one-of-a-kind sanctuary.
Enter through a walled archway with double doors, framed by towering pines, where a flagstone garden pathway leads to a vibrant stained-glass entry. Spanning 4,950 sq. ft. of living space in the main house and 2,400 sq. ft. of covered portals, the home is a masterclass in elegance and craftsmanship. The Great Room features soaring 18-foot cathedral ceilings, pine vigas and corbels, herringbone latillas, traditional mud-and-straw plaster, and a striking Kiva fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame the majestic mountains beyond.
Designed for year-round comfort, the home includes radiant in-floor heating and four Trombe walls on the south side, capturing passive solar warmth during the winter months. Rich details abound—Saltillo tile flooring, step-down sconces, antique chandeliers, and diamond-finish plaster walls add to the warm, inviting ambiance.
The chef’s kitchen is both functional and artistic, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom copper cabinetry, a butcher block island, generous storage, and a large walk-in pantry—perfect for entertaining. The primary en-suite is a private retreat with its own Kiva fireplace, walk-in closet, mini-split A/C, and spa-like bath complete with soaking tub and oversized dual shower.
A stairway leads to a bonus room with a Juliet balcony—an inspiring setting for an art studio, yoga space, or home office with breathtaking views of the Picuris Mountains.
On the opposite side of the home, the guest wing is a private haven with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a home theater or fitness room, and its own entrance, portal, and parking area. With mature Aspens, Evergreens, and a lush lawn, this space offers serenity and flexibility, with room to add a kitchenette. A spacious laundry room with abundant storage and countertops completes this wing.
The separate 1,200 sq. ft. guest house offers limitless potential—ideal as a rental, studio, or guest suite. It includes a full kitchen and bath, stained concrete floors, walls of windows, a covered portal, and a balcony with dramatic mountain and golf course views.
Below the guest house, a 1,600+ sq. ft. four-door heated garage and workshop space provides ample room for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or large-scale storage needs.
This estate’s low $800/year HOA fee includes electric gate access, road maintenance, and snow removal. Golf club membership is optional.
Castillo del Solterra is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you envision a peaceful retreat, an entertainer’s paradise, or a high-end investment property, this extraordinary adobe estate is a rare opportunity that would be nearly impossible to recreate at today’s construction costs.
