4004 Sendero Penitente, Taos, NM 87571-4004

Property Description

Welcome to Sendero. An artfully assembled hacienda overlooking the Taos Valley. Built the slow way, adobe bricks stacked one by one, hand-carved doors and hand-laid tile. Set on 2.37 acres, the more than 5,000-square-foot home unfolds as a rich collection of architectural details: hand-carved Peruvian entry doors, a remarkable ceiling panel from a historic Jain temple, forged iron lanterns from Mexico, antique Cyprus kitchen island, hand-painted tile, intricately painted and carved cabinetry, a custom stone-carved mantel and antique teak doors that seem to carry stories of their own, and they do. Twenty-foot ceilings, a grand piano — and somehow, it still feels like home. This is the most curated house in Taos. The doors alone — hand-carved, no two alike — are a collection. Every cabinet, painted by hand. No two motifs repeat. Others are assembled over time, piece by piece, with an eye for beauty, history and craftsmanship. This extraordinary hacienda is decidedly the latter. A truly one-of-a-kind residence filled with treasures gathered from around the world. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the home is generous in scale, yet warm and soulful throughout. Multiple covered portals and patios extend the living spaces outdoors, while terraced gardens settle beautifully into the landscape and take full advantage of the expansive valley setting. A home theater that gets used. A sauna, hot tub, gym and cold plunge. A detached gym. A trail easement out the back gate. And while the property feels wonderfully removed, it enjoys close access to town as well as nearby hiking trails and easy access to Taos Ski Valley and Taos Regional Airport. Authentic, artistic and impossible to replicate, this is a true collected Taos hacienda—a home created for someone who appreciates the beauty of things made by hand and gathered with intention. Honoring the past while embracing the present in stunning style, and moving comfortably into the future with features and systems that are sophisticated and sound. Wind up the road, stroll through the courtyard, glide through the majestic entry and find your own special Path at Sendero.
