Turnkey mastercraftsman stunner ready for full or part time living! Tucked away in the best-kept secret Latir neighborhood, this enchanting frame and chinked-log home is nestled in the foothills of Latir Peak and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, offering a rare blend of craftsmanship, serenity, and storybook charm. The original portion of the home, built in 1980 by well-reputed Taos builder, Barry Cook and his wife, was lovingly constructed with logs hand-harvested and peeled, showcasing authentic viga ceilings and beautiful interior woodwork throughout. The warm, inviting kitchen features custom-built oak countertops, handcrafted cabinetry, and a cozy dining nook, while a custom staircase - also built from hand-harvested lumber - leads to an upstairs loft bedroom. A thoughtfully designed modern addition completed in 2005 seamlessly complements the original log structure, continuing the fairytale aesthetic with high vaulted ceilings, decorative wood accents, and an ingeniously engineered spiral staircase. This addition includes an elegant primary suite, plus an additional upstairs bedroom, bathroom, and deck boasting unmatched panoramic views. Comfort meets efficiency with solar in-floor radiant heat and propane backup for snowy days, as well as a classic kiva wood-burning fireplace. Outside, the property is equally captivating, featuring spectacular gardens, fruit trees, fire-wise pi on trees, and a lush green lawn perfect for unwinding in nature, all fully fenced. An outdoor carport with an attached workshop provides ideal space for woodworking or artistic pursuits, while a former horse stable area now offers additional storage or room for animals. This magical house in the woods transports you to a simpler time - where resources are sacred, wildlife is abundant, and life feels blissfully removed from civilization. With hiking and horse trails nearby in the Carson National Forest, just 40 minutes from Taos art galleries, shopping, and dining, and only 30 minutes from Red River Ski Resort, this one-of-a-kind property offers both seclusion and access to Northern New Mexico's finest attractions.
