Skydancer - Adobe Home, Mountain Views, Game Room

Summary:

Welcome to Skydancer, a secluded single-level adobe oasis on the high-desert mesa of Ranchos de Taos with panoramic mountain views. Gather by the kiva fireplace beneath viga ceilings, cook in the granite kitchen, and challenge the group to foosball in the game room. Three bedrooms plus a sofa bed sleep 8, minutes from Taos Plaza, golf, and galleries. The private walled backyard and covered portal are made for grilling and evenings under the stars.



The Space:

Skydancer is a single-level adobe retreat set on the open high-desert mesa of Ranchos de Taos, on the quiet south side of Taos. Big picture windows frame panoramic mountain and mesa views, while viga ceilings, Saltillo tile floors, kiva fireplaces, and Talavera accents give the home its authentic Northern New Mexico character.



Inside, the open great room brings everyone together around the kiva fireplace, with the kitchen and dining area close at hand. A dedicated game room adds a second hangout space with foosball, a TV, and a sofa bed. Outside, the private walled backyard and covered portal invite slow mornings, sunset grilling, and quiet evenings under the stars.



Whether you are here for ski days at Taos Ski Valley, gallery afternoons on the Plaza, a round of golf at Taos Country Club, or a peaceful high-desert reset, Skydancer gives your group room to spread out, come together, and enjoy the best of Taos.
