THE DEVARGAS SANCTUARY-4,950 SQ FT | 5 BEDS | 4 BATHS | GUEST CASITA| CREATIVE STUIDO-Escape to a sanctuary where historic soul meets modern sophistication. Situated on a lush .385-acre parcel just steps from the vibrant Taos Plaza, this 4,950-square-foot estate is an architectural masterpiece consisting of a three-bedroom main house and a separate, attached two-bedroom casita. From the hand-crafted front door to the soaring ten-foot ceilings, every inch of the residence reflects a commitment to quality. The interior is a symphony of traditional textures, featuring hand-plastered walls, polished concrete floors, and the rhythmic beauty of viga and herringbone latilla ceilings. The heart of the home is an epicurean kitchen designed for the serious chef, anchored by a Jade Range and GE Monogram double-ovens. This culinary space flows seamlessly into a beautiful dining room, a private interior courtyard or out to the lush perennial gardens for sun-drenched alfresco dining. For the homeowner seeking ultimate serenity, the primary wing offers a secluded retreat complete with a spa-inspired bathroom, dual dressing rooms, and a southwestern fireplace. Innovation meets tradition throughout the floor plan, most notably in the upper-level great room. Accessible via a graceful staircase or a private elevator, this grand space is defined by elegant windows, a hand-carved mantel, and the thoughtful addition of a stylish second-floor kitchenette. This secondary kitchen provides a high level of convenience, allowing for effortless hosting on the upper level without the need to descend to the main floor. Whether you are preparing morning coffee to enjoy by the fire or serving refreshments to guests on the terrace, this functional space enhances the home's versatility. The great room opens onto a private portal where a raised wood-burning fireplace and built-in bancos provide the perfect vantage point for watching the light change over the majestic Taos Mountain. An additional room on this level currently serves as a refined office but offers the flexibility to be used as a bedroom, supported by a contemporary full bathroom nearby. The proximity of the kitchenette makes this upper level feel like a self-contained suite, perfect for long-term guests or a quiet evening retreat. The amenities extend far beyond the main living quarters. For the serious collector, an impressive 1,350-bottle wine cellar awaits, finished with a granite tasting counter and a reassuring battery backup system. Visitors will find their own paradise in the attached guest casita, which offers a completely separate entrance for maximum privacy. This delightful retreat features two additional bedrooms and one bathroom, comfortably accommodating up to four guests with its own kitchenette, living room with a fireplace, and a charming dining area. The estate grounds are a true outdoor oasis, fully enclosed by adobe walls and featuring tiered rock gardens, a gated vegetable patch, and a secluded lawn with a private hot tub. Additionally, a free-standing, 475-square-foot climate-controlled studio provides a turnkey opportunity for an artist's workshop or creative sanctuary. Located within walking distance to the historic galleries and celebrated cafes of Taos, this property-with an adjoining lot also available-represents a rare chance to own a five-bedroom, four-bathroom masterpiece in the heart of the Taos.
