Welcome from the Enchanted Circle Association of REALTORS®

W

¡BIENVENIDOS!

Mountain living is easy to romanticize. Those of us who live here know there is a lot more to it than the view. Life in the Enchanted Circle has its own rhythm. We plan around the weather, prepare our homes for winter, share the road with wildlife, and learn pretty quickly that a sunny morning can turn into an afternoon thunderstorm or a winter storm can change our plans altogether. But we also get the things that are harder to describe until you have lived here. We know our neighbors. We support local businesses. We see familiar faces at the grocery store and community events. And when someone needs help, people have a way of showing up. Each of our mountain communities has its own personality, and that is part of what makes the Enchanted Circle so special. Some people come here looking for a permanent home. Others are searching for a place to spend summers, ski weekends, holidays with family, or simply get away from a faster pace of life. As REALTORS®, our job goes beyond helping someone find the right property. We help people understand what owning a mountain home really means. We answer the questions they may not know to ask, share the local knowledge that comes from living and working here, and help them find the community that feels right for them. This month’s Enchanted Homes celebrates Mountain Living. I hope these pages remind those of us who live here why we chose this place and give those who are considering it a better sense of what makes life in the Enchanted Circle so unique.

Wanda Lucero 211 Kit Carson Road

The mountains may be the first thing to catch your attention, but the communities and the people are what make this place home.

New level for condo living in Taos lw bull1969 | Sold a home in 2026 in Taos, NM.

We highly recommend Pavel... dave doolittle1 | Sold a condo in 2025 in Taos, NM.

When I decided to sell my condo in Taos, NM in late Spring of 2026, I selected Pavel Lukes, a long time developer and real estate agent in the area. Pavel was the developer of the complex in 2022 bringing a new level for condo living in Taos. The Pueblo style and lush landscaping has been at the top ever since. I lived there for twenty plus years and enjoyed my home as a sanctuary and place of comfort and excitement. Because of health issues and family sport I decided to move. Pavel urged me to look at the strengths of my home and came up with a plan to market it. Because of Pavel’s deep connection and understanding of the market in Taos he new knew all of levers and buttons to push and came up with a listing price that I was concerned about being too high. Because of my respect for his savvy I agreed. He arranged for a photo shoot and knew the perfect person who did an extraordinary job including using a drone for better views. There was no one that came to see my property for two weeks and I was getting concerned. Pavel helped me to relax and not panic. At the end of the two weeks, a realtor Pavel had worked with called and said she had a couple from out of town who wanted to see my place on the coming Sunday. They came and had a positive reaction but of course wanted to other places as well. Pavel told them to wander around the place without us which he felt would make a potential buyer feel more comfortable. Pavel then told me that they would buy my home. I asked how could know that and he said his long experience in the business spoke to his instincts. The very next day Pavel called me to tell that he sold my home, at the listed price, and that it was a cash transaction. I was stunned and could hardly speak but it was true. Pavel’s longtime experience paid off. I must say that the most important thing in all of this was his treating me like a close friend and his guidance and encouragement was critical for this nervous 83 year old man. Thanks Pavel.

We have know Pavel for more than 10 years. We recently moved out of state and decided it best to sell our properties. We felt he was the best upfront and responsive realtor so we contracted him to sell our two commercial properties. They were listed and a buyer was found in less than a month. He worked to coordinate buyer visits and answer questions to the buyer’s satisfaction. He actively kept the escrow process moving and coordinated with the title company. We are very pleased with Pavel’s work and keeping us informed as the sale moved forward and ultimately to a successful closing. We highly recommend Pavel for real estate transactions whether commercial or residential.

The most experienced Realtor/Developer in Taos (53 years in 3 states) and with the most 5 star reviews on Zillow.

Pavel did an outstanding job... zuser2016 | Sold a home in 2026 in Taos, NM. Pavel did an outstanding job selling our home. He demonstrated professionalism throughout the process, clearly explaining each step and answering all our questions. He used his experience to recommend reliable contractors for minor repairs and identified key areas for inspection prior to the sale.” More importantly, he effectively marketed our property through print, online, and social media channels to maximize exposure, which was especially valuable in the current down market.

We now count him as a friend... julie77230 | Sold a home in 2025. Pavel is an outstanding realtor and I highly recommend him. Working with another realtor, we listed our house for sale, thinking we would soon be able to move on with our lives. 9 months later it still was not sold, despite multiple showings every week, and we had very little guidance from the realtor as to why this was the case. We were beyond discouraged and took our home off the market. To our surprise, Pavel came to our house and told us, “I can sell your home”. Four months later, the sale of our home closed and we are now on our way to our dream retirement home. Pavel has in-depth knowledge of construction, pricing, and negotiating. He has also lived in the Taos area for many years and is very familiar with the local real estate market. This breadth of knowledge and experience was crucial for the sale of our home. He remained in close contact with us throughout the sale, and we now count him as a friend as well as a realtor. Many thanks to him and his team.

Taos Real Estate Market Report © Peter Lora of the Lora Company

Year-to-Date through August 31 Single-family home sales remain slightly ahead of last year’s pace; however, prices are down. Condo unit sales are below last year, and prices are also down. Land sales continue to lag, both in number and in price. SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES – Year-to-date unit sales are up by 10

houses (6%) compared to last year for the same time frame. Median price of $540,000 is down $25,000 (-4%). Market activity is slow. With all the uncertainty about the economy, the Iran war, and politics, many people are postponing real estate purchases. Inventory has increased, so buyers who are looking are finding more houses to choose from, and more room to negotiate. CONDOS – Unit sales have trailed last year’s pace in most months.

YTD sales are down by 2 (-6%). Median price of $379,000 is down $21,000 (-5%). The supply of condos listed for sale remains relatively low. There just doesn’t seem to be much buyer demand for condos.

LAND – Through August, the number of sales has decreased by

16 tracts (-19%). Median price of $80,000 is down $14,000 (-15%). Land sales have dropped steadily since 2022, due to the very high cost of building a home.

PiÑon Harvesting One of the unique qualities of an autumn in Northern New Mexico is the season of piñon nut harvesting. The season lasts from August to November, as local foragers venture into the Sangre De Cristo mountains to gather the smooth, tasty nuts. The piñon pines often thrive in Taos, and can be harvested via permit from the mature cones or seeds that have descended to the Earth. Ideal for grinding into coffee or baking, piñon nuts are special to the Taos area. The dark, heavy piñons are a local delicacy, and make the perfect gift. And if you go piñon picking, you might even enjoy a few right there on the land. It has become a time honored tradition to kneel in the fallen pine needles and gather the piñon nuts to make delicious treats and meals!

H

ome is not only where you spend your days, but an oasis amongst the turbulence of life. Nestled into the foothills of Angel Fire, you’ll find a mountain wilderness home, set in the quiet and peace of the land. Uniquely located in Angel Fire, which offers a combination of natural beauty and year-round outdoor activities (namely skiing and gorgeous hiking) this 3 bed, 3 bath, 2,600 sq. ft. property is settled in the forest, just down the road from the ski area. It is shrouded in serenity, topped upon 2.44 acres.

A Home in !e Forest The owners, Stan and Karen Andrade, are both architects, and designed the home themselves. It became a passion project, as they desired to create a house that felt as though it belonged in the forest. The design resulted in clean lines balanced with warm and comfortable natural materials, wood, stone and abundant natural light. The home, completed in 2019, has a strong connection with the surrounding nature. A defining characteristic of the house is the way it brings the outside in. An architectural exposed steel structure allows for expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls providing views into the forest and toward the distant mountains, while allowing natural light to penetrate deep into all the living spaces. From every room there is a visual connection to the trees and wilderness. The forest is an integral part of the experience of living on this land. If you sit in the living room, you may see deer, elk and wild turkeys move through the property, a variety of birds and the changing mountain seasons — all from the couch.

42


A Passion for Design The architecture deliberately combines clean lines with organic materials. A 10-foot high wood pivot front door opens to this environment. Upon entering, soaring ceilings and exposed steel structural elements express the soft, contemporary architectural style, while rich wood ceiling details, natural textures and stone fireplaces add warmth and comfort. Custom walnut cabinetry is used throughout the house and became an important unifying element. Wood details were designed not only for appearance but also to make the house function beautifully for everyday living.

the visual connection to the forest. The open plan arrangement allows the kitchen, dining and living spaces to function together naturally.

The main living area is centered around a fireplace with surrounding glass creating a comfortable gathering space while maintaining

The kitchen was designed with both entertaining and everyday family life in mind. It features walnut floating cabinetry, premium countertops, a large

wine cooler and a breakfast bar. Built-in Bosch appliances include a steam oven and cappuccino maker. A reverse-osmosis system provides pure filtered drinking water at the kitchen sink.

A Stunning View Inside and Out Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of the home is the connection between the interior and the outdoor covered living area. Large 16 foot retractable glass doors allow for indoor-outoor living. The outdoor area includes dining space, a built-in jacuzzi and a premium builtin grill. Another retractable glass pass-through window connects the grill area directly to the kitchen, allowing for easy entertaining. Each of the three bedrooms has direct access to an outdoor deck. The primary suite was designed as a private retreat, with its own fireplace and a spa-like bathroom featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, private water closet and a dual-head walkin shower.

The direct connection to the deck also creates the opportunity to step outside for a soak in the jacuzzi under the stars to experience the mountain splendor. The two guest bedrooms share a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Throughout the home, the bathrooms continue the clean line aesthetic with floating cabinetry, floating toilets and carefully selected designer tilework. A whole-house water filtration system serves all three bathrooms as well. Even the garage was considered as part of the overall architectural design. The oversized two-car garage has high-volume ceilings, a storage loft and a 10-foot-high glass garage door, allowing it to accommodate larger Sprinter-sized vehicles.

Connected to !e Land

What makes the house special to us isn’t any one feature. It is the relationship between architecture and nature. The owners spent 15 years owning and experiencing the property before the house was ever built, giving them ample time to understand the land — the trees, the views, the changing seasons, the wildlife and the way the light moves through the forest. By the time it was underway, it was designed specifically for the property. It is sophisticated and designed to be appreciated architecturally, but comfortable enough that family and friends could walk through the door, relax and immediately feel at home. In this home, one wakes up surrounded by trees, watches the seasons change, sees wildlife move through the property and has a place where family and friends can gather and feel at home in the mountains. The house is not simply a mountain residence, but a retreat away from the city. It’s a place immersed in the landscape and a place of peace where nature, family and the experience of living in the mountains all come together.

Birds & the Ecosystem 1.

Aaron Magee Best of Taos – Building Contractor 6 years in a row

P

eterson explained that the shape of a bird's bill is a good indicator of what important work it may be doing for your yard. “This work is often referred to as ecosystem services,” she explained. “Birds help control insects, pollinate plants and disperse seeds.” Birds are so important to the ecosystem that the Carson National Forest has identified several as “focal species.” They are tracked and counted and provide a good indication of the health of the forest. “In the Carson Land Management Plan, we selected two birds to track ecological changes in order to understand what’s happening across the landscape,” former Carson National Forest Wildlife Biologist Francisco Cortez explained. “The Grace’s warbler found in ponderosa pine and dry mix conifer and the Hermit’s thrush seen in wet mix conifer environments.”

These two species are observed before and after any management activity, like forest thinning, and tracked before and after unforeseen events, like wildfire, to see if they are present. The observations about the birds help guide decision-makers in their understanding about future management of the forests. Cortez said some of his favorite birds are the dark-eyed junco, a small round tan bird with a white belly; the yearround northern flicker with its red head markings; and the gray-bodied scaled quail with its distinctive white crest.

Handcrafted thick adobe walls, micaceous clay plaster, vigas, tongue & groove ceilings, Southwest fireplaces, original wood floors, Penasco-style wood doors, and inviting living spaces. Winding paths, secluded courtyards, towering trees, acequia irrigation ditch with water rights, and plenty of room for horses. Properties that possess authenticity and character are increasingly difficult to find.
