Artisan Adobe

Lush Landscaping and fencing creates a hidden gem from street view, this 1 BR authentic adobe home is filled with historical charm and one-of-a-kind antiques. The decorative front door (with carvings depicting lightning, thunderbirds, and Native American symbols) came from the Taos home of famed arts patron, Mabel Dodge Lujan. Inside, the wood balusters were taken from the 20th century Loretto Academy in El Paso.
