New Mexico, Taos County, Ranchos de Taos, USA

Welcome to one of the most breathtaking settings in northern New Mexico - a beautifully crafted 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Rastra Block home on 10 pristine acres in the exclusive El Mirador neighborhood of the Taos Stakeout area. Designed and built by respected builder Mark Wilson, La Luz del Fuego (Fire Light) is a custom residence thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic views of the Rio Grande Gorge, Taos Mountain, the Pedernal, Truchas Peaks, and the rolling foothills that make this region so iconic. Rastra Block construction ensures superb energy efficiency, staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer, while an upscale kitchen, open-concept living and dining areas, and well-designed split floor plan add to the homes comfort and livability. The primary suite features its own fireplace and a spa-like bath. Outside, the transformation of the backyard into a true sanctuary is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Enclosed by a beautifully finished stucco wall, this extraordinary outdoor living space features a custom 10-person hot tub/spa, a rock fountain with a faux stream and waterfall, extended portals for shaded dining, a custom staircase and railings, paver patios, elegant landscape lighting, drip irrigation, and Pentair remote-operated controls for the spa and water features. The result is a serene, private retreat thats as stunning by day as it is magical at night. This property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years, including a custom metal driveway gate, upgraded fiber internet, and front yard landscaping and irrigation. A full TPO roof replacement with redecking and warranties was completed in 2021, and a whole house restucco was completed in 2022. New tile flooring was completed in bedrooms two and three in 2023, and continued improvements in 2025 included a rebuilt flagstone walkway, spa system maintenance, and septic service. A rare offering in one of Taos most sought-after view corridors, this home blends exceptional construction, modern upgrades, and extraordinary outdoor living - all set against some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in New Mexico.
