| We invite you to come and view the first of seven exclusive homes built around a Cul de Sac at GIRASOL, a unique community of detached Single Family Residences under Condominium Ownership. Each separate dwelling includes covered portals and/or outdoor decks, as well as private patio areas to maximize your views and your privacy. Condo ownership allows for minimum outdoor maintenance and maximum enjoyment of your individual living space.
Girasol is tucked away on the Western hillside of Blueberry Hill Road and perched over the top of the Lower Colonias Valley... providing up close and commanding views of Taos Mountain and the Sangre de Cristos to the north, and long expansive sunset views of the Pedwernal, the Rio Grande Gorge and the Stakeout Foothills to the South. Sunsets, circling Red Tailed Hawks, fields of sunflowers, twinkling night lights of town constantly demand your attention. The quiet stillness only intensifies the experience.
If ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL features are new home priorities for you, you need to see these homes for yourself. If your home aesthetic runs to ECLECTIC DESIGN ELEMENTS, coupled with passive solar energy features in a sleek, updated HIGH and LOW TECH PACKAGE geared specifically for the Taos environs, then look no further. Girasol, where GREEN BUILDING and SUSTAINABLE DESIGN also mean Luxurious, Comfortable, Efficient and Stylish, too.
Unit #4 is a DELUXE version of the standard Girasol Residence, incorporating many, many extra enhancements. Please contact us for more information. |

The GIRASOL design is unique, combining the best aspects of traditional Southwestern Territorial architechture and current energy saving building techniques such as in-floor heating and radiant barrier insulation under the slabs and on the roof decks. |
A closer look at the Patio Doors leading from the Living Room area to the private patio outside. Roof water is directed to the community storm drain in this unit, but is easily redirected and harvested for landscaping irrigation if desired. |
A view from the entry door looking into the open floor plan including the Kitchen straight ahead and a Breakfast Room/Dining Area/Office off to the left. This flexible floor plan will work for almost any configuration or need to suit your lifestyle. |
The same view as the previous, except moving slightly to the left showing the entry to the Pantry and the Powder Room along the wall behind the Peninsula, as well as showing the entry to the garage at the front right. |
African Mahogany and Granite slab Countertops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and plumbing by Insinkerator and Kohler. |
The alder Shaker style cabinets are by Karman and include premium door slides, soft closers and hidden hinges. In this unit the open drawers below the cooktop show off the pots and pans and make everything more accessible for the cooks. |
Another Kitchen view highlighting the Bosch refrigerator, cooktop, and range hood, as well as the Granite countertops and backsplash, and the glass tilework behind the cooking area. |
The Peninsula Area with African Mahogany upper surface and Granite Countertop/Backsplash; Blanco stainless steel sink and Kohler faucet. Looking for electric outlets? Enlarge the photo &look just under the Mahagany top... clean elegant and out of the way. |
We're looking through the Kitchen into the Pantry area ahead (cabinet units with pull out shelving on both sides), and the far wall of the Powder Room at the end. |
This is the left side of the previous shot, looking through the Pantry into the Powder Room. That is a fourth full length Pantry Unit at the end... or, remove the shelving and use it for a Broom Closet. The cabinets are Alder Shaker by Karman. |
You enter the Powder Room through an Alder sliding Pocket Door and just inside the door you see this contemporary sink, Kohler faucet, African mahogany top, Arizona Tile stone tile backsplash and the matching Alder Shaker style cabinet by Karman. |
Looking from the Peninsula area out through the Living Room area to the natural gas fireplace, matching African Mahogany mantle piece, and Patio Door to the private area shown in Photo #2. |
Turning to your left from the previous view you come to the Entry Door, the two story Atrium, and the winding stairway to the upstairs private area. That is a Coat Closet on the right. |
Upstairs in the Girasol version of the modern "Family Room". A large open floor plan with plenty of room for Home theater set ups (the entire home is prewired for Audio, Video, Phone and Data), bookcases, sitting areas, or an overflow sleeping area. |
The winding stairway to the private area upstairs, and the two story Atrium. |
The opposite end of the Family Room showing the Douglas Fir beam Framing, the built-in lighting fixtures, the Family Room entry door to the Guest Bathroom, and the source of warm indirect Northern light that floods this room all year long. |
Bathrooms are always difficult to photograph, but here's the Master Bathroom with double Kohler Wading Pool Lavatory sinks, Karman cabinets, and Stone tile by Arizona Tile. Not shown are the separate shower, soaking tub and more stone tile. |
This is the entire heating and plumbing system for this 3150 Square Foot dwelling (2488 SF heated living space and 648 SF of heated Garage and Storage Space). It has four heat zones, and the most energy efficient gas boiler made today. |
Even under a blanket of fresh snow you'll be warm and toasty inside this energy efficient home. |
Location! Locatio! Location! This is your view from your private, sheltered patio area at the back of the Kitchen. |
