Sage Joy Retreat

Carson

2 Bedrooms 1.5 Bathrooms 4 Sleeps 2500 sq. ft.

Your gracious one level home offers an intentionally furnished open-concept kitchen, living and dining area with two private and well-appointed queen bedrooms. The entire home is Universal Design and ADA compliant. Your spacious full master bath offers a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Sliding glass and screen doors lead to your choice of covered porches, perennial gardens, or the secret orchard. Enjoy time lounging in comfy chairs taking in Taos Mountain, or napping in the hammock listening to the Stone Forest fountain. Nourish at the family table under the pergola with sunset views.

Sage Joy is fed by the elements; radiant solar energy and rain water. Your home is “off grid” meaning it is not tied to the power grid network, it is thoughtfully designed with state of the art systems for seamless comfort. In the rare event of insufficient sunlight (New Mexico has 355 days of sunshine a year) Sage Joy has propane for radiant heated floors and hot water. Water is the most-precious resource in our high desert so mindful use is encouraged.

Your retreat is located in the high desert surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of the Rockies.

25 minutes to Taos Plaza.

45 minutes to Taos Ski Valley.
90 minutes to Santa Fe Regional Airport.

The last 2 miles to Sage Joy is a well maintained dirt road (2 wheel drive is fine). As you turn onto the dirt road you notice the “live and let live” part of the neighborhood. The last mile evolves into a well tended community leading to the respected and peaceful KDC Buddhist Stupa and your Sage Joy Retreat.

Magical stay outside of Taos

by Judith G

My brother, his wife and I stayed 3 nights. Property manager went above and beyond to make sure our stay was superb—meeting us to take us to the house, showing us around with explanations for how things are done, and following up to make sure all our needs were met. The house is down a long gravel road but no exceptional vehicle required. It has a beautiful look over the expansive desert to the mountains. Sunrises over the mountains should not be missed. Everything about the house is very well done from the wood floors to the walk in shower (and a tub!) to the many books on the shelves to the best stocked kitchen I have ever rented. There were art supplies for children. I am in a wheelchair and found the house to be 100% accessible including entrance, doorways and the shower. Being there in spring was lovely as the flowers were in bloom and the birds ate from the feeder and kept us entertained. It was a bit windy during our stay, but the outside was set up for time to be spent there with a table, comfortable seating, and a hammock for lazy afternoons. There are many museums as well as outdoor sites to be visited. Our time was magical in that we left feeling closer to nature and healed in ways we didn’t recognize we needed. We will return.

One of our Favorites!

by Jo Ellen

 

This home was one of our favorites so far! The location was easy for everything we had planned in Taos and the surrounding area. Cassandra the manager was so helpful and met us at the entrance to this off-grid historical mesa neighborhood to lead us to our residence. The views were amazing, the quiet was enveloping. The interior was meticulously maintained, the layout of the home was inviting. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The art and books were enjoyed. The outside is beautifully landscaped, with several options surrounding the home for sitting and relaxing. We will be back, and hope to be renting for a month the next time!

Beautiful Views!

by Priscilla

 

Beautiful views across sage brush to mountains. Lots of birds, sunny garden spaces and lots of varied outdoor seating. Quiet! Great night sky, first night we saw large blue icy comet, next night long lightning show in the distance. Easy access to Taos.

Sage Joy - A True Taos Retreat

by Nicholas Tomaskovic-Devey
I’ve been a lot of places in this world, and spending a week at Sage Joy Retreat with the Buddhist Stupa, Taos Mountain, the Hot Springs, and the Stars, has been one of the best. Honestly, it was hard to leave, and I look forward to coming back.
