The Space:
Hora Feliz is a single-level adobe home in El Prado, perfectly positioned between historic Taos and the Taos Ski Valley, with sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the high-desert valley. Warm Southwestern character runs throughout, from viga-beamed ceilings and a wood-burning kiva fireplace to handcrafted furnishings and local art.
Designed for families and groups, the home flows easily from the open kitchen and dining area to comfortable living spaces and out to a fully fenced yard built for relaxing. Mountain views fill nearly every window, while the private hot tub, dedicated game room, and inviting outdoor spaces make it easy to gather, unwind, and settle into the rhythm of Northern New Mexico.
One of the home’s favorite spots is the breezeway patio, where guests can enjoy comfortable lounge seating, outdoor speakers, a natural gas grill, and beautiful mountain and sunset views. Whether you’re grilling dinner after a day in Taos, listening to music with a glass of wine, or watching the sky change colors over the valley, Hora Feliz offers a relaxed and memorable high-desert retreat.
