215 Mariposa Place, Taos, NM 87571

Technically a condo, but this one behaves much more like a house. Tucked into the quiet Los Pueblos community, this freestanding 2-bedroom, 2-bath Pueblo-style home has no shared walls, an attached garage, and the largest backyard in the complex. The setting is the real magic here: mature trees, gardens, shade, and a private aspen grove, with Pueblo land just beyond the wall and uninterrupted open space between the backyard and the mountains. Inside, the home feels warm, grounded, and very Taos - brick floors, tall ceilings with large vigas, plaster walls, tongue-and-groove detail, and a wood-burning kiva fireplace anchoring the living room. The eat-in kitchen opens easily to the main living area, while the two-bedroom layout offers comfortable separation for guests, work, or quiet. Hot water radiant heat keeps winter civilized, and the private back patio is ready for slow mornings, evening drinks, or a future hot tub - the hookup is already there. Los Pueblos is a well-kept, friendly community with HOA services that include trash, grounds maintenance, building maintenance, insurance, and snow removal. All of this about 5 minutes from Taos Plaza, but with a backyard that feels like it borrowed a little extra breathing room from the mountains.
