Welcome to Tara Ranch, an exceptional 42-acre Northern New Mexico retreat offering privacy, sweeping mountain views, equestrian amenities and remarkable versatility just beyond San Geronimo. Fully fenced and surrounded on three sides by a 2,500-acre private ranch, the property enjoys spectacular views of Hermit’s Peak and surrounding mountains, with mature trees and open spaces ideal for horses, grazing and recreation. A gated entrance and picturesque quarter-mile private drive lead to the substantial single-level residence, built in 2008. Soaring 12' ceilings, diamond-finish plaster walls, substantial wood beams and graceful arches create classic Southwestern character, while generous living, dining and kitchen spaces open to a covered portal for outdoor dining and enjoying the views. The chef’s kitchen features two ovens, a gas cooktop with griddle, dual sinks, granite counters, stainless appliances and large pantry. Five bedrooms and 3.5 baths include a spacious primary suite with private portal, walk-in closet and bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower and dual vanities. Radiant-floor heat, a heated 3+ car garage, private well and water softener add comfort and practicality. The impressive Barn Pros equestrian facility offers six stalls, tack/workshop space, hay storage, horse wash area, covered RV storage and a 45'x60' corral. Above the barn, an approx. 1,593 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 1-bath barndominium offers a kitchen, expansive living/dining area, high ceilings, wood-burning stove and front and rear porches. Two storage sheds and mostly level acreage add flexibility, with room for additional structures or casitas, subject to approvals.
