About This Home
Introducing 66 Rainbow Circle, an opportunity to step into the kind of Northern New Mexico setting that quietly captures people the moment they arrive. Set on 1.8 peaceful acres in Sunshine Valley, in the high desert of Taos County, the property enjoys nearly 300 days of sunshine each year. It is surrounded by a true 360° landscape: the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise to the east, the Tusas range anchors the west, with open views stretching north toward the Colorado border and south across the wide Questa valley floor. It’s a setting that feels expansive in every direction, with light and sky as constant companions. The home is thoughtfully built and grounded in durability, with pumice-crete construction and a well-insulated stick-built addition. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and approximately 1,600 square feet, the layout reveals itself in a way that feels both intuitive and comfortable. The primary suite is set apart for privacy, generously sized with its own ensuite bath and closet—creating a quiet retreat within the home. Two additional bedrooms are positioned separately, offering flexibility for guests, work, or creative space. The flow of the home is one of its most compelling features. From the entry, spaces unfold naturally, moving from living to dining to kitchen without interruption, while still maintaining distinct areas. The living room anchors the home, and the adjoining dining area connects seamlessly to the kitchen, creating an easy rhythm for everyday living or gathering. Along the southern side, dual sunrooms extend the living space even further, capturing warmth and light throughout the day and offering a place to sit, read, or simply take in the landscape year-round. A wall of southern-facing windows, stretching nearly 50 feet, brings in consistent natural light and frames the surrounding mountains, making the outdoors feel ever-present. Radiant floor heating runs throughout, adding to the home’s comfort and efficiency. Beyond the interior, a heated oversized garage with 220-volt power and its own electrical panel offers space for a workshop, studio, or storage, while a carport adds convenience. The property is serviced by a private well and septic, supporting a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Outside, the land has already begun to take shape in meaningful ways. A ramada creates a natural gathering point for outdoor dining and quiet evenings, while flagstone paths wind through the trees and connect the property. Water access on both sides of the driveway supports gardening and future garden expansion. Located just 15 minutes to Questa and the Colorado border, 30 minutes to Red River, 45 minutes to Taos, and under an hour to Taos Ski Valley, the home offers both accessibility and a sense of retreat. What sets 66 Rainbow Circle apart is the combination of space, thoughtful layout, and value—elements that are increasingly difficult to find together in this region. It’s not just the land or the views, but how livable and adaptable the home already is, offering a strong foundation for someone to step in and make it their own. For those looking for a place that feels both established and open to possibility, this is a property that invites you to imagine what life here could become.
