"I invite you to experience a vacation or peaceful retreat, providing memories that will imprint your soul". Situated at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range (a section of the Rocky Mountain chain), the dOme is a unique geometric structure offering stunning views and open space. This is in a unique area where you are coming to a Dark Sky Destination: an opportunity on a cloudless night to re-engage with stars, the planets, the moon and faraway galaxies. Sunrise: at the dOme At the edge of the charming towns of Taos and Arroyo Seco, minutes from the Taos ski basin, a unique vacation home awaits you. Glorious views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range await you, with sunsets that shimmer purple and crimson on the mountains. The dOme is a stunning, recently renovated geometric structure that has was completely transformed by a noted Colorado architect, Taos craftsmen, and its visionary owner. Here you will enjoy two bedrooms, a large sleeping loft, luxurious bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen, a separate dining room with soaring beamed ceilings, a living room with bar, an efficient woodburning stove, travertine floors, a deep warming sauna room, and a hot tub on site. All rooms provide guests with amazing views. No detail has been spared in creating a unforgettable and enchanting vacation home. This is a gated secure property of two acres, one of which is pasture with a corral. If your pet is a horse, you can bring it along. A beautiful creek that shimmers in the sunlight winds across the perimeter of the property. We recently installed a brand new hot tub next to a masterpiece of an outdoor fireplace. Find yourself in a state of zen as you wind up the serpentine steps to the sunset viewing deck. Rest at each of the landings to soak in the metal art sculptures along the walk up to the main deck. We also just added 2 professional disc golf baskets onto the field for you to practice your throw. There are so many amazing features around this property! You will never be bored! We invite you to our private gated home on two acres located at the 3 mile marker off State Road 150 (aka Ski Valley Road) between the town of Taos and Taos Ski Valley. The home has two bedrooms (king beds in each bedroom). A spiral staircase in the corner of the living room brings you to a large loft that has a queen bed and a euro-lounge that opens to a full size bed. The home can sleep 6 very comfortably (and more if we have a conversation ahead). The base rate is for 4 people and $20 a night more for each additional person. The gorgeous main bathroom has double sinks, a separate shower with mountain views, and a single jacuzzi bath tub. The master suite has a kitchenette, exquisite bathroom with double sinks, a separate shower, and a hot tub style bathtub for two. There is a laundry room with full size front loading machines. Hydro solar panels provide some of the hot water for the house and add to the sustainability of this special home. Kitchen is fully equipped with a large kitchen bar. I am a 'foodie' so you will find all you need to cook up that gourmet meal you love making...from the seasonings to the oils all are provided for your usage. There is a formal dining room where you will find an incredible mountain view and stylish furnishings that sits up to 10. The main dOme space is your living area with a large flat screen TV, a wood burning stove, and lots of sitting area. A dry bar with all assortments of wine, beer, and cocktail glasses are provided for your entertaining needs. Feel the radiate heat from the floor as you mosey along the living room floor. Near the living room you'll find a full size sauna to warm up and relax your muscles after a day of hiking, rafting or making ski/snowboard turns on the mountain. Detail, design, and master craft are the themes of this home. We invite you to have a vacation that will be blueprinted into your soul. I live full time in CA and most likely will not be on site when you come to stay at the dOme. If I am there, I will be in the one bedroom apartment called Stella Blue that is about 200 ft from the main home that you are renting. The dOme property is located 8 miles from the center of the Town of Taos and 12 miles from the base of the Taos Ski Area. The base of the ski area is at 9,200 ft and the top is 12,400 ft. The dOme is at 7,400 feet, an altitude that is much better to sleep at especially if you are traveling from lower elevations. I suggest you start hydrating more a week before you arrive. That will help with your acclimating. The property is located off Hwy 150 at the 3 mile marker on the north side of the road. There is a neighbor that has an easement through the property, but otherwise the gated driveway is private. There are two other dwellings on the property that may or may not have folks renting at the time of your visit. Those dwellings are 150 ft from the main home. If you have more people that you want to travel with than the dOme can accommodate, ask about renting one of these properties. There is no public transportation to the property so you will need to drive there with a rented or personal vehicle. The Taos Ski Valley does have a shuttle that runs from the Albuquerque and the Santa Fe airports. You can coordinate transportation with them by visiting the Taos Ski Valley website. We sadly cannot accommodate your pets. ( but if you tell me more about your pet we will re consider. Our bedding and furniture are high end and we can not have pet hair in/on them cause we have guests that are allergic to pets. It takes three cleanings to fully clean after a pet. With that knowing, if you can promise the pet can stay off furniture and not sleep in the beds, than we can consider you bringing your pet along.)
