The longtime home of the late Taos icon Alfred Hobbs, Alfred's house in Canon boasts a rich and dynamic history dating from the 1700's as the millsite and miller's house on the Rio Fernando de Taos. Alfred Hobb's life is the subject of the documentary film "Driven" and his days as an archeologist and member of a Taos hippie commune have been chronicled. Alfred's unique woodwork is exhibited thoughout the house and casita.
The original adobe has evolved organically through several distinct eras, the house and casita have recently been remodeled. The compound consists of a house and a casita. These can be rented separately or together. The house has four gas burning Kivas designed and built by Taos Pueblo War Chief Benito Sandoval in the living room and bedrooms. The casita has a traditional wood-burning kiva. The house has radiant floor heating, a modern kitchen, and features original artwork by family artists Bill, Mary and Rachel Barminski. There is a detached 2-car garage with storage space for activity gear. Authentic blend of tradition and comfort. Located about a mile and a half (15 minute walk) from the Taos Plaza, Alfred's House is one block off Kit Carson Road.
A "State of the Art" Queen Sleeper sofa will be found in the den / bedroom located off the living room. This upscale sleeper is made by American Leather (easy to find on line) which is a highly touted sofa manufacturer. These sofas get rave reviews with the majority of folks saying they are "more comfortable than any bed" and/or "best night sleep I've had in years". Try it. You will go home telling everyone about this new sleeper invention.
