Sangoma: A Sanctuary in Arroyo Seco between Taos Ski Valley and Taos
2400 sq. ft. house located on 2.3 acres of irrigated alfalfa fields

Come experience a quiet, private sanctuary overlooking over fifty acres of open land.

This is a gorgeous high-end home with every possible amenity including tasteful art and furnishings.

Walk to the town of Arroyo Seco (4 restaurants, health food store, and shops)

The sweeping view overlooks a pasture where coyotes, red-tail hawks, and the occasional eagle can be seen and heard. Living in Taos is about becoming one with the big sky and the rhythms of nature. Why rush?

Enjoy the seven-tenths of a mile walk into Arroyo Seco for a latte and egg sando at the Taos Cow, a breakfast burrito at Abe’s Place, or a mix of Japanese and eclectic food along with a sake bar at Hiro Hobo, then pick up a few groceries at Sol Food, the local health food store. For dinner try Sabroso’s delicious bar food, often accompanied by piano music, or its gourmet restaurant. Go a little farther down the road towards the town of Taos to The Old Blinking Light for great Mexican food and burgers or to Pizzanos for Italian food and pizza. There is no better location or house!

“Sangoma" is an exquisite home with everything you need:

WHAT IS A SANGOMA?

TESTIMONIAL FROM SABBATICAL HOMES RENTER

By Rosemary (Gettysburg, PA)
Our stay at Sangoma was brilliant! The house is southwest chic and more. It is a wonderful blend of east meets west that creates an air of peacefulness and stirs the creative instincts. Wonderful beamed ceilings, perfect lighting, luxurious bathrooms and hi-tech everything. Best of all are the Tibetan prayer flags that surround the property and the delightful wind chimes. AND, the views are incomparable. You will not want to leave.

I am writing a book called “Izilwane” and am researching human animal interactions and communication. I also will soon be offering workshops that focus on healing through experiencing our "inner animal" while we interact with animals (such as visiting an elephant park or swimming with dolphins). For the past 30 years, I've been a journalist, writing professor, international aid worker/anthropologist, somatic experiencing practitioner, and president of a the non-profit, Perception. I love writers staying in my home and I love traveling to other people's homes. Check out my website to learn more about me: TaraLumpkin.com. To follow my current research, go to Izlwane.org or follow the project at Facebook.com/pages/Izilwane/97045372947 or Twitter.com/Izilwane
