Constructed 1870.
For the price of one cow and five pesos, Santiago Martinez acquired the one-half acre property in 1864 located less than a block from the Historic Taos Plaza. Actual construction on the property dates to the early 1870’s when the New Mexico Vernacular style building known as the Taos Territorial was constructed in the style introduced by the U.S. Army to this frontier region.The attention to detail found at the Taos Territorial House is simply a rarity found in a vacation rental property with its beautiful landscaped grounds, hand carved furniture pieces, and one-of-a kind artwork.
Listed on the National Historic Register, this historic hacienda in Taos offers an enchanting alternative to any New Mexico bed and breakfast or resort. Art lovers, history buffs, or even amateur astronomers need to look no further for the perfect luxury vacation home. Found throughout the home is a collection of stunning artwork produced by many notable local artists. The two-storied Taos Territorial House was immaculately restored in 1998 and boasts oversized rooms with inlayed wood floors and high ceilings with gorgeous exposed vigas.
