Surrounded by piñon and juniper, with sweeping valley and mountain views, the property enjoys a serene setting just minutes from Taos Ski Valley and the charming Village of Arroyo Seco. Thoughtfully designed with straw-bale construction on the main level and frame construction above, the home showcases authentic Southwestern character with warm wood accents, traditional vigas, tile flooring, and inviting architectural details throughout. High ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the spacious living area, creating a welcoming atmosphere for gathering with family and friends. The kitchen flows naturally into the main living spaces, while generous glass doors invite the outdoors in and lead to an expansive deck—perfect for morning coffee, outdoor entertaining, or unwinding in the hot tub beneath Northern New Mexico's spectacular skies. Beyond its two designated bedrooms, the home offers an impressive collection of versatile living spaces, thoughtfully arranged to accommodate guests, recreation, work, or creative pursuits. The main level features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a dedicated office/study. An additional room just off the living area is currently furnished as a guest sleeping space but could easily transition into a home office, fitness room, playroom, or creative studio. The private upper-level retreat adds an entirely new dimension to the home. An inviting loft, currently furnished with a futon, opens to a private balcony overlooking the surrounding mountain landscape—an ideal spot to enjoy a quiet morning or take in the fresh alpine air. Flowing naturally from the loft is an open bunk area, currently arranged with four twin beds, creating a welcoming space for family and guests. Complete with a full bathroom featuring a shower and an additional half bath, this versatile upper level offers wonderful possibilities as a family retreat, recreation space, creative studio, or additional guest accommodations. Recent improvements further enhance the property's appeal, including an expanded outdoor deck, a detached ATV/storage garage, a carport, and an electric vehicle charger conveniently located near the driveway. Radiant heat, propane, and a private well add to the home's practical amenities. Adding to its appeal, the home is offered fully furnished, with the exception of the sellers' personal belongings and a limited list of excluded items, providing an effortless opportunity to settle in and begin enjoying the Northern New Mexico mountain lifestyle from day one. The location is equally compelling. With the Rio Hondo nearby, Taos Ski Valley just minutes away, the Village of Arroyo Seco within easy reach, and the Town of Taos approximately 20 minutes away, adventure and convenience are close at hand. Spend your days skiing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or exploring the extraordinary landscapes that make this corner of New Mexico so special. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a welcoming gathering place for family and friends, 12 Gauging Trail offers a wonderful combination of privacy, distinctive Southwestern character, and adaptable living spaces in one of Northern New Mexico's most beautiful mountain settings. Private. Versatile. Unmistakably Taos.
