Phase I  closeout prices in effect. Taking reservations for Phase II

La Vida Feliz - the happy life - awaits you at this beautiful and environmental , second homes, and short term rentals.  You should consider the combination of convenience, excellent location, top quality construction, artistic design and affordability with value that set these homes apart in your decision of where to make your Taos home.

The following video will introduce you to this beautiful project.

Property Information

Here you see phase one with Taos Pueblo lands and the dramatic snow-capped summit of Kachina Peak beyond.  The road between the Taos and Taos Ski Valley lies on the other side of the condominiums providing easy access to both.

The pueblo style architecture blends right into the surroundings.  The thick rastra walls resemble the traditional adobe homes found in the area but are much more energy efficient.  Here two units sit picturesquely in front of Taos Mountain and a vivid blue New Mexico sky.

Location and area

Located just south of the Quail Ridge Tennis Resort, the property lies just about 12 minutes from Taos Plaza and 20 minutes from the Taos Ski Area.  To reach La Vida Feliz from Taos, head northwest out of Taos along US Highway 64 to the "Old Blinking Light" intersection where US 64, NM Highway 522 and NM Highway 150 meet.  Go north on highway 150 for 0.8 miles to the La Vida Feliz sign and make a left turn on Apache Rd.  The condominiums are on your right.

The community

The project consists of phase I which is complete with only few units remaining and a future phase II to the north. The plan above shows the layout and how the individual units surround a central court yard.  This plan also shows the location of the very few units remaining.

The landscaped courtyards provide a terrific place to enjoy dinner outside with friends and enjoy the maturing landscaping which is maintained by the association.  Each unit also features private courtyards when you desire a more intimate setting.

The Homes

The front of each unit has a large picture window and covered patio entry for tranquil contemplation of the wonderful views. One of two private courtyards provide privacy within the home as well as individual outside space.

You enter into the great room of the house with its unique kiva fireplace. The living room  sits on one side with the kitchen and dining area on the other.  The following feature make this part of the home special:

  • VAULTED 10 FOOT CEILINGS
    in the Great Room and high 9-ft ceilings everywhere else.

  • OPEN FLOOR PLAN
    and spacious living/dining/great room with cozy kiva fireplace and
    a social "open to living space" kitchen with serve-over bar.

  • SOUTHWESTERN DECOR
    with viga (log) and aspen tongue & groove ceilings, smooth, curvaceous
    plaster walls, nichos and custom carved wood accent doors.

The kitchen features an ergonomic design with bright, spacious, and open feeling with abundant light from both the fixtures and the overhead skylight.  The cook can easily prepare dinner while talking with guests in the adjacent living and dining area.  Quality appliances add a classy touch to the home and assist in food preparation.

Each home features two bathrooms like the one that you see here.  One is off of the hallway behind the kitchen, the other is off of the master bedroom.  The centrally located laundry area sits across form the bathroom.

The spacious bedrooms sit at the back of the units providing quietness and privacy.  The master suite has its own bathroom with JACUZZIŽ BATHTUB for complete relaxation apres ski or anytime!  A walk-in closet gives plenty of storage.

The back of the home opens up to its own private fully enclosed covered patio area and back yard.  During much of the year, this area functions as an outside living room.  A gate allows you to enter the common area, but keeps it separate.  A storage room off of the patio gives you a place to securely store items outside of the living space.
