Protect your home. Discover why so many New Mexicans trust their homes to Wanda Lucero.

Welcome from the Enchanted Circle Association of REALTORS®

¡BIENVENIDOS! Utter the word “Christmas” in New Mexico and the first thought may not be the holiday, but that you want both red and green chiles on your food! However, there’s much more to a spectacular holiday season in the Enchanted Circle. The magic begins as pathways and buildings in Taos and surrounding areas are lined with farolitos, those paper bags filled with candlelight. Soon the air will be filled with the aroma of bonfires in many places, but maybe most famously on Ledoux and Bent Streets in Taos. Make yours the most special gift under the tree by finding treasures made by New Mexican artists in each of our towns and villages, with a nice eclectic showcase at the Taos Folk annual pop up shop. Angel Fire welcomes you to the Fire and Lights Ceremony on November 29th, and be the first in line when the ski mountain opens December 17th. Red River hosts Christmas in the Mountains at the Conference Center December 20-21 and don’t miss the Christmas Light Parade on December 20. The Taos Ski Valley has many special events during the holiday season, the sweetest is Cookies for Santa, where the entire family can help make cookies for the Big Guy, and enjoy some treats of their own! And if you want to start the new year off with your eyes wide open, join the Polar Bear Plunge in Eagle Nest on January 1st.

REALTOR PROFILE

JOEL AVILA

FALLING IN LOVE IN TAOS

by Lily Sanborn

J

oel’s real estate journey begins the same as all those who stumbled upon Taos’ mountain landscape; he came and fell in love, and decided to stay. The decision involved a sabbatical, a woman, and some 21-year-old logic. Joel had been attending college and living in Mexico. He went on sabbatical to spend some family time in Texas, taking a break from his normal routine. After a while, he returned to Mexico, but the moment he set foot back home, he knew it would be enough to keep him there. He somehow made his way to Taos, after one of his best friends got married and moved here from Mexico. He followed him, planning to stay for 6 months, when he encountered a classic point a lot of young, inexperienced men face: he met a woman. While the relationship faded, he discovered

another kind of relationship; one with the land, the community. “Taos just felt like home”, said Joel. Shortly after, he met his now wife, and he fell in love all over again. While Joel and his wife are still searching for their dream home to start their family and raise children, he has dedicated to helping others find theirs, to escape the uncertainty of not owning a home. “Even though right now we’re still working toward that goal for ourselves, it excites me to help others reach theirs”, commented Joel. He recognizes the incredible array of personalities and a sense of belonging that’s hard to find elsewhere. “Here, I’ve been able to create a family not just with my wife but also with my amazing friends,” said Joel. “From Taos’s hot springs to its parks, the people here have always had that friendly, welcoming spirit that makes me forget I’m not in Mexico anymore.”

The holiday season is a time for family and friends to gather together around the fireplace to share the joys of the season. A home on Ortiz Lane in central Taos provides the perfect setting for coming together around its fireplaces and offers plenty of room for guests.

A piece of history

The Ortiz family owned land in this area and sold the property for this home to Eliu Romero and his wife. The Romeros built the original house in the 1950s and Eliu went on to found Centinel Bank in Taos. In the past, “Horses grazed in the field back behind the lane and one of the town’s major irrigation channels – acequias – still comes down the hill above El Monte Sagrado and passes through the Ortiz properties along the lane,” according to a history compiled by one of the current owners Tom Ryan.

Coming home to Taos

Tom and his wife Joan visited Taos to ski over the years. “Taos was our favorite place to ski for its beauty, serenity, moderate weather and enormous variety of terrain, as well as its ongoing involvement in the written, visual and musical arts,” Joan explained.

24

ENCHANTED HOMES CLXVI enchantedhomeseller.com


They thought of Taos as the perfect place to visit in the winter, but it wasn’t until their favorite ski instructor Max Killinger invited the couple to come in the summer to hunt mushrooms that they began to visit Taos in other seasons. “Over the following summers , we came back for longer and longer periods, discovering that Taos had pretty much perfect weather year round,” added Joan. “In the third summer, I walked our dog down the unusually pretty and serene Ortiz Lane. Three houses down, I saw a for sale notice outside this house which was not only perfectly sized for someone who loves entertaining friends and family as much as I do, but had on it’s far side, a large lilac, rose, and tree-filled walled garden with a tire swing swaying in the shade of a glorious old elm. When I came back to see the place, I discovered it also had on a rose-trellis, almost-hidden walled patio with its own gurgling fountain.” The Ryans purchase the house in 2010 and set about renovating and adding to it to accommodate their extended family who moved to Taos with them. In the process, they added a guest casita, along with a pergola on the back patio and additional trees and shrubs.

The home

The result of the Ryans’ thoughtful renovations is a home with plenty of soft light and a feeling of warmth and comfort. There are special touches like colorful tile and stained glass windows. The elegant main house has a two-sided gas fireplace that warms both the dining area/great room and the living room that has generous builtin bookshelves. The dining area has views of the large shaded back yard. It is adjacent to a spacious kitchen that has a center island with a sink and a polished black AGA stove set below distinctive hand-made tile work in green and gold tones. There is also a roomy pantry. Arched doorways connect the downstairs rooms that flow together gracefully.

ENCHANTED HOMES CLXVI enchantedhomeseller.com


Upstairs the primary suite has a sitting room with custom stained glass windows as do the bedroom and bathroom. “Most recently, next to our master bedroom, we built the bathroom of my dreams with hand-made tiles on the walls of its large shower and around a tub designed for relaxing, as well as its own stained glass window to enjoy during long soaks,” Joan explained. Downstairs, through a set of doors is an adjacent living area with its own entrance. It has a full kitchen, an open living and dining room focused on a fireplace. The bedroom has French doors that open to a covered patio and wall fountain. In addition, there is a detached guest suite with wood floors and vaulted ceiling and ¾ bath, along with a 100 square foot workshop.

Home for the holidays

With its unique design and more than 4,000 square feet, the home has plenty of room for guests. The house has hosted its shares of get-togethers over the years. “The holidays in Taos were almost always family affairs: Lighting Ledoux and all that,” Tom remembered. “Gifts and games of Chubby Bunny involving marshmallows, along with farolitos down the lane and the whispering snows. Going between the freezing outdoors on the ski hill and the cozy fires at home.” He added that the house has been a magical place for them. Joan explained that it has been wonderful to be within easy walking distance of Taos’ many traditional winter events. “ During the holidays, the house is filled with family. We truly appreciate having areas for adults and children to entertain separately when they wish. We also love having two fireplaces to gather about: one

in our great room where we spend most of our evenings, whether alone or entertaining guests and the other on the far side of the house where our children can have their own guests or all of our grandchildren can gather for holiday games,” she said. After many years in Taos, the Ryans recently relocated to Washington D.C. to be close to family. Now the home is ready for the next family to live and gather.

After, the crew will set off a stunning array of fireworks, igniting the magic in the air. Surrounded by hot cocoa, ale, and the winter spirit, the event is the ideal way to spend New Year’s Eve for the whole family. 40

The Art of

Heating

with The Firebird

By Emily Collins

Nearly fifty years of expertise bringing New Mexicans fireplaces, stoves, and outdoor kitchens that blend function with beauty.

The fireplace

is more than an appliance. It’s a hearth, a place for loved ones to gather during the long winter months. It’s also a statement, a way to heat the home with beauty and efficiency. For almost fifty years, The Firebird has been heating Santa Fe homes for those warm and cozy nights matching design expertise with community preference. From traditional wood stoves scented with piñon, to sleek modern gas and electric appliances, The Firebird continues to help New Mexicans stay warm in style.

ENCHANTED HOMES CLXVI enchantedhomeseller.com


The Firebird began in 1977 when Gene Tyson and his wife set out to bring more warmth to the high desert. They started in their garage, selling a single brand of wood stove to homeowners, and eventually expanded into irrigation systems to help residents care for their lawns and gardens through the summer. Today, The Firebird is owned by father and son David and Sage Rentfrow, and operates a 4,000 square-foot showroom complete with high-end luxury brands for fire pits, gas fireplaces, and infrared heaters—meeting every need from casitas to modern adobe homes. “We interact with almost all levels of the community,” Sage said. “From low to high income individuals, sometimes three different economic groups are shopping at the same time. Design is critical to heating homes, and The Firebird offers a custom experience in selecting the right fit. The Firebird showcases minimalist European designs such as Stûv and Rais, along with Scandinavian classics like Jøtul and U.S. makers like Hearthstone, brands celebrated for blending efficient heating with clean architectural lines.

While many New Mexicans are drawn to the classic kiva fireplace look, Sage noted that, by far, The Firebird’s most popular fireplace offerings are the modern gas fireplaces. Many of these fireplaces are modeled after Flare Fireplace’s classic look, designed without visible metal framing so that the flames appear to be floating in the wall. Current gas fireplace offerings include the Lina G 30-24 and the Firenze™ 60" × 20" single-sided fireplace, as well as options with tall glass fronts for a dramatic effect. Beyond individual models, The Firebird carries respected brands including Camina, Schmid, DaVinci Custom Fireplaces, Flare Fireplaces, Regency, Napoleon, Montigo, and Fireplaces Xtrordinair. From frameless linear designs to dramatic glass-fronted models, these gas fireplaces turn heating into both comfort and architecture. Fire pits are also a popular sell, especially in the colder months. Santa Fe is famous for its holiday traditions, and The Firebird plays a role in one of the

city’s most beloved: the Christmas Eve Farolito Walk on Canyon Road. Each year, the company provides fire features that not only warm the crowds but also showcase the artistry of their products, sparking new interest from customers experiencing them for the first time. The Firebird offers concrete and powder coated aluminum fire pits ordered to the customer’s preferred colors. David had long dreamed of owning a business in Santa Fe. While retirement came first, it didn’t last long; soon he realized he wanted to build something of his own. Together with his son, vice president Sage, he has overseen major renovations to the Espinacitas Street showroom and launched The Firebird’s first line of outdoor furniture in 2023. Now the family is preparing a new warehouse designed as an immersive space where homeowners can explore furniture and fire features to transform their backyards into a gathering place year-round. The Firebird provides more than irrigation

supplies and interior heating. According to Sage, outdoor kitchen sales are booming, and The Firebird offers designs that blend utility and elegance. They provide layouts with cabinetry, grill units, sink space, refrigeration, and storages. Brands such as Danver, Brown Jordan, Trex, and Challenger offer a polished modern look, and customers can choose predesigned setups or modular pieces that fit their space. Stainless steel kitchens from Danver and Brown Jordan are engineered to withstand snow and sun, creating a complete outdoor entertainment hub for every season. The Firebird’s philosophy encompasses more than durability, flexibility, and design. It’s rooted in tradition, in neighborly care that customers can trust. Nearly five decades on, The Firebird continues to evolve, but its legacy remains the same: a neighborhood favorite bringing comfort, ambiance and connection to northern New Mexico.
