Property Description
Some properties are purchased. Others are discovered. Tucked into the Carson National Forest, this charming year-round mountain cabin/home offers something increasingly rare: the feeling that you've stumbled upon a secret. More than 500 feet of trout-stocked Cabresto Creek meander through the property, wildflowers bloom in every direction, and the night sky feels impossibly close. Inside, the home is exactly what a Northern New Mexico mountain home should be. Natural wood, stone accents, handcrafted tile, mixed mud-clay walls, and substantial timber beams create an atmosphere that is equal parts rustic elegance and timeless charm. The flexible floor plan allows the home to evolve alongside your life. The lower level can function as a third bedroom, artist's studio, office, guest quarters, or even a separate apartment. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a seasonal cabin, this home offers a remarkable balance of comfort, character, and possibility. Of course, life here is meant to be lived outdoors. Spend your mornings fishing in the creek and your afternoons exploring nearby trails. The spacious deck was clearly designed for morning coffee, afternoon naps, and evenings spent admiring the mountains. When the stars emerge, slip into the hot tub and feel the magic Two generous storage sheds provide plenty of space for skis, fishing gear, kayaks, tools, and every hobby mountain living tends to inspire. With year-round access and an exceptional location just 13 miles from Red River, approximately 33 miles from Taos Ski Valley, and only a few miles from Cabresto Lake, adventure is always close at hand. And it’s only 10 minutes to the nearest town and grocery store. This is more than a cabin. It's a slower pace, quieter mornings, cleaner air, and the kind of place people spend years searching for and rarely find. Fortunately, you just did.
