Nearly 200 years ago, Simeon Turley established Turley Mill, a popular trading post and watering hole in Valdez, a village less than 12 miles north of Taos. There he milled flour, distilled Taos Lightning whiskey, and traded with mountain men, trappers, and other colorful figures of the Old West. T...hings have changed in Turley Mill, which is now an upscale subdivision. What remains the same is the glorious landscape, with breathtaking mountain views and thickly forested foothills, a true slice of paradise. Sited within this paradise on 10.02 acres is a lovely 3BR/3.5BA/3800sf/two-story adobe home that epitomizes livable elegance, with a thoughtfully designed interior, drought-resistant landscaping, and multiple multi-level outdoor living spaces. Step down a broad brick pathway to a deep covered porch and into a great room that encompasses the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Unpeeled vigas, plank ceilings with a light wash, beams of reclaimed lumber, hard-trowel plaster walls, and brick floors all add to the appeal of this beautiful home. The great room includes a fireplace with a stone hearth, a fireplace screen bordered by hammered iron, a heated banco under the windows, and two exits to the back of the home’s covered decks and stone fountain. The music system is housed in a lovely old armoire, which conveys with the house. (Most furnishings in the home are available for a separate bill of sale.) In the kitchen you’ll find custom handmade Tabarka tile, which also forms the backsplash in the master bath and the floor in the guest bath. Kitchen appliances include a side-by-side Frigidaire Professional refrigerator, a stainless Sharp drawer-style microwave, a stainless Monogram six-burner (plus griddle/grill) stove with double ovens and a plaster hood, and a stainless Monogram dishwasher. The kitchen also has a farm sink and a large custom-made island with a craftsman-built walnut top for workspace and casual dining; the base of the island affords you storage galore. The home has a butler’s pantry. Down the hall from the kitchen, behind a sliding door with glass panels, is a laundry room with a front-loading Electrolux washer and dryer. Just past the kitchen is the wet bar, a custom-remodeled antique linen cabinet once used to store a bride’s ensemble. Near the wet bar, double doors handmade in Guatemala lead to a sitting room, which is part of the downstairs primary suite. Other doors in the home were handmade by Taos artisan Pete Barlow. The sitting room may also be accessed via a double archway across from the laundry room. A woodburning corner kiva fireplace, soothing parchment-colored hard-trowel plaster, and more windows make this room cozy but expansive. Double doors lead into the primary downstairs bedroom, which has a viga and plaster ceiling. The primary bath features a huge travertine shower with two heads, a travertine vanity with two sinks, and an enormous walk-in closet with built-ins. The soft neutral tone of the plaster matches the travertine stone. At the other end of the house are a powder room with an on-demand water heater and an en suite guestroom with a large walk-in shower. The ceramic tile in the bathroom resembles aspen bark, with unpeeled vigas, pendant lights, and natural light extending the idea that you’re forest bathing. Wooden stairs lead to the second story and the upstairs primary suite. A large sitting room, study, or exercise room (your call!) includes a wet sink, an offset kiva fireplace, and a stone hearth. Double doors lead into the bedroom, which has a built-in cabinetry-style closet and drawers, a shower, and a sauna. The upstairs deck is accessible from both the sitting room and the bedroom. The grounds have been mitigated for fire, and petroglyphs, ancient symbols incised into rock, can be found on the property. A graveled path meanders among the trees, and whether you’re enjoying your favorite beverage upstairs or downstairs, inside or out, you’ll be treated
