Hidden Lake Lot 94 was designed by the home owners in 2000, and constructed during the summer of 2002. This 3,822 square foot home features an open, casual layout that's suitable for family gatherings or just simple, informal living. The primary layout includes two guest bedrooms on the ground floor along with a bath, great room (for dining and general living), and a kitchen and mud room. Upstairs is where you'll find the master bedroom suite with a bridge through the great room to the library, and finally an 820 square foot bonus room (office, studio, or whatever you make out of it) located over the three car garage. This layout allows for the primary residents to maintain their privacy upstairs while providing everything guests need downstairs.

The bear, of course, can stay with the home. Click the image for a larger view.

This home is offered fully furnished and move-in ready. All you have to do is show up, and you're ready to enjoy all there is to offer here. For a comprehensive list of what "fully furnished" means, see the page on furnishings.

There is a deck on the ground floor that extends from the south facing dining and kitchen area, around the west side (the back) of the home with views of Black Lake and Mount Wheeler, and along the north side with access from each of the downstairs bedrooms.

Upstairs, the master suite includes a laundry, a walk-in closet, and a large bath area that includes a walk-in shower and whirlpool tub. There's also a small upstairs deck off the master bedroom. It's a great vantage point for enjoying the elk and deer in the front yard.

Outside, this home is located on 15 acres of alpine forest. Dozens of different wildflowers bloom all summer long. Some of the kinds of flowers that bloom here are wild roses, wild strawberries and rasbberries, columbine, and wild irises, to name a few. Wildlife include nearly everything found in the Rocky Mountains, including elk, deer, black bear, bobcats, coyote, golden mantled ground squirrels, and chipmunks. While mountain lions are extremely rare, they are present in the lower rocky mountains.

One advantage this property offers that cannot go un-mentioned is the incredible views that comes with this mountain side home. The front of the home opens up to pristine rocky mountain alpine forest which is frequented by deer and elk, and many other animals common to the southern rockies. The back of the home gives way to an outstanding view of Mount Wheeler; New Mexico's tallest mountain at over 13,000 feet, and home to the world class Taos Ski Valley. There's also an unbelievable view of Black Lake and the Carson National Forest on the west side of the valley.

So whether your goal is to find a property with un-matched views, or your desire is to find that mountain get-away that can take the whole family, this home in northern New Mexico has it all.
