Casa Raya Taos - Plaza Walk, Fenced Yard & Deck

Summary:
Morning coffee on the back deck, cottonwoods rustling overhead and Taos Mountain on the horizon. Casa Raya is a single-level adobe-style home with viga beam ceilings, hand-painted Talavera tile, and a fenced lawn made for slow afternoons. Two king bedrooms and two full baths sleep 4 guests, and Taos Plaza is less than a mile walk for shopping and dining. Fire up the grill, stroll to Kit Carson Park, or drive 18 miles to Taos Ski Valley.

The Space:
Step through the carved front door and Casa Raya wraps you in color and warmth: log viga beams overhead, arched doorways, a red Persian rug underfoot, and sunlight pouring through wood-framed windows. This single-level adobe-style home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with Taos Mountain as its backdrop, less than a mile walk from Taos Plaza. Couples, small families, and workcationers settle into two king bedrooms, cook in a Talavera-tiled kitchen, then spill out through French doors to a raised deck and a fenced lawn shaded by mature trees. Days start with coffee in a blue Adirondack chair and end around the picnic table under a sky full of stars.

With two king bedrooms, each paired with its own full bathroom, the layout gives two couples or a small family equal comfort and plenty of privacy.

Bedroom 1 features a king bed beneath a pine plank ceiling, with Southwestern pillows, a carved wood armoire, a display shelf, and a wall of windows, plus an ensuite bathroom with a glass walk-in shower. It is a natural fit for the couple who wants their own tucked-away retreat.

Bedroom 2 offers a king bed dressed in a paisley quilt, with soft green walls, wood floors, matching nightstands with lamps, and two sets of wood-framed windows that fill the room with natural light. Guests here have easy access to the second full bathroom, making it ideal for friends, family, or a second couple.

Bathrooms
The ensuite bathroom is a little work of art, with hand-painted blue bird tiles, a Talavera sink, an ornate tin-framed mirror, and a glass walk-in shower.

The second full bathroom glows with white and green hand-painted tile, a floral ceramic sink set in a tiled counter, wall sconces, and a tub and shower combo lit by a small window. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a hair dryer are provided.

Living Areas
The living room invites you to sink in: a sofa, a leather armchair and ottoman, a wooden coffee table, all under log viga beams and a ceiling fan. A carved wooden armoire holds the Smart TV and DVD player, and board games are on hand for family nights. When work calls, a writing desk beneath sunny windows offers a quiet, laptop-friendly spot, and ceiling fans and heating keep things pleasant through the seasons.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is pure New Mexico, with blue and white Talavera tile counters and backsplash, wood cabinets, and a pine plank ceiling. Cook on the gas range under a stainless hood, rinse up at the double sink beneath the window, and let the dishwasher handle the rest. A stainless refrigerator, oven, microwave, ice maker, blender, toaster, coffee maker, baking sheet, and plenty of dishes, glassware, and cookware round it out, along with a tiled table for casual bites.

Through an arched doorway, the dining area gathers four around a round wooden table beneath a wrought iron chandelier, with a painted green sideboard and woven textile adding color. Glass French doors open straight to the deck, and a small nook with a green table and stools makes a cozy spot for morning coffee.

Back Deck and Fenced Yard
Wide wooden steps lead up to a raised deck set with a picnic table, chairs, and a covered BBQ grill, the perfect stage for long dinners outdoors. Below, a fenced lawn edged in coyote fencing stretches beneath mature trees, with stepping stones leading to a flagstone patio where two blue Adirondack chairs face distant mountains. Out front, a covered portal with wood railing and a shaded lawn offer one more place to slow down and soak in the high-desert air.
