Rio Pueblo Adobe Casitas of Taos New Mexico : Taos Real Estate : Green Homes

Imagine your own Taos Style adobe casita near the lovely Rio Pueblo river which starts at the famous Taos Mountain and runs south into the Rio Grande.

Enjoy big blue skies and mountain views through each window of your cozy Taos green home. Be part of a small community of like minded, earth friendly people interested in sustainable green home design features.

The Rio Pueblo Adobe Casitas are only 15 minutes from Town of Taos for shopping and community events, but offers quiet solitude because of its distance from busy streets.

Each stand-alone adobe casita enjoys its own exclusive use area surrounding the perimeter of the building and also the wide open common areas, which may be used for organic gardening, picnicing, and sports activities.

This Taos real estate project is envisioned by Dahvee Haley and Jeanette Monosoff, PhD as a sanctuary from the busyness of everyday life. Each traditional adobe casita is comfortable and charming with new standard green features oriented for solar gain and privacy. We hope you enjoy our Taos Rio Pueblo Adobe Casitas website.
