Taos, NM Real Estate

Recent press has put forth the problem of shrinking tourism in Taos, as well as the suffering of the artists and galleries in recent years.  It is easy to place blame on the events of September 11, 2001, and there has definitely been a profound effect.  However, what needs to be understood is the nature of competition for today's ...

For a little earthship history and how Santa Fe is going green, this "Whatever Happened to Earthships?" article is a quite interesting.  It seems that there is a new development going into Santa Fe that won't have earthships per se, but it is a big step in the right direction for sustainable architecture and ...

My focus on Taos real estate gets pretty intense.  A great blog post I read this morning comments on the more human part of solar power. Here's a quote from the post:  "For some of his customers, Collum said, installing a solar system is a 'deeply wonderful philosophical thing. For others it’s just cool, and for some ...

Living here we sometimes forget how special the area is and some of our more unusual businesses and sights.  KTAO is a solar powered radio station, which most of us know.  But I had never really read about the way that they accomplish this, but I got an education from The Good Human Blog's description of the KTAO power ...

But, if you live here, you know.  That was soooooo ...

Richard Kessler, whose company owns El Monte Sagrado Resort here in Taos, is expanding his Kessler Connection into Europe.  The Orlando Business Journal online has an article about it here. We've all seen the construction going on over at El Monte Sagrado, with significant expansion of the facilities.  Let's hope that Mr. ...

We're trying some new styles and looks on the Gallery Realty of Taos real estate web site.  Any comments would be appreciated.  Right now there's a video slide show of Taos Scenes on the home page.  The main question there is the time till the slide show starts.  Let us know if it's too long on your first ...

We're truly a vehicle oriented society, which is probably why I didn't know that you're not supposed to be walking on the main road that accesses the Taos Pueblo.  I've never tried it.  This article by a Pittsburgh columnist about his recent trip to Taos is a fun read, but brings up a sad fact about our society. It's ...

 The book 101 Best Outdoor Towns is getting great reviews (see them at the bottom of the book page at Amazon).  Taos is, of course, one of the towns described.  If you love it here, wouldn't it be great to be able to locate other places with the same characteristics? One of the authors' criteria is a good breakfast, so I ...
