“Taos seems to get rediscovered generationally. We have a lot to offer with our fresh air, rugged beauty, fabulous climate and access to public lands. In times of physical distancing, Taos is being seen as a very appealing remote rural area and a great place to live and work while still connected to the larger economies away from here.” Page Sullivan, of the Page Sullivan Group of Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties, has more than 15 years of experience as a realtor in Taos County. “Our market is very active,” Sullivan said. “Houses are selling quickly for Taos, which traditionally is a slower-moving market. At this point there is not enough supply to meet the demand for residential properties. The average home prices have gone up, and days on the market have gone down. It is a great time for sellers, and for folks who are tinkering with the idea of selling, this is the time to list. Summer through fall have traditionally been the busier times for home sales, but I had a really bang-up January, February and March. For me and my group, we have not slowed down at all. Showing property is a whole new world, with buyers going in their own cars and with masks and gloves a must. I think the big picture is that people are looking to relocate to rural and suburban areas.”

REALTOR PROFILE

MEET

DEBBIE FRIDAY JAGERS REAL ESTATE WITH A TRULY TAOS STYLE

the Los Angeles Olympic Games and cable pioneer TCI. During this period, she focused on answering the question, “How do we make this client stand out?”

WRITTEN BY MACKENZI FREDERICK

She hadn’t planned to return to Taos but did so to help run the family business, Friday Motors. This led her to meet the man she would marry. Together, they built a family. Friday Jagers expanded her marketing and financial skills in the auto business. Beyond assisting her customers with finding the right car, she helped them finance and maintain it. A client-focused perspective means she’s “committed to getting the results that they want.” After the family sold the dealership in 2019, Friday Jagers assumed control of their commercial properties. She attained her realtor’s license to better serve their tenants, then saw it as an opportunity to reinvent herself. She joined the team at Century 21 as an associate broker. With their guidance and mentorship, she is learning her role and responsibilities. Philosophy The foundation of Friday Jagers’ relationship with her clients is – and has always been – to ask, “What is it that people want, what is it they need and how can I help them with that?” She notes that communication and the relationships she negotiates are equally crucial for this goal. She also aspires to be a “custodian of the future,” as she helps clients to buy or sell commercial and residential properties. Commercial properties

MORGAN TIMMS

Even though Debbie Friday Jagers earned her real estate license just this year, her experiences from childhood to college to career guided her onto this trajectory long before. She equates arriving at this new profession to laying path stones. “You build each one to the next. I’ve been building a path to this my whole life.” Her excitement to navigate this new course is evident when we speak. Friday Jagers grew up here, graduated from Taos High School and attended the University of New Mexico. A fortuitous conversation with the dean of the business school – a semester shy of declaring math her major – encouraged her to study marketing. This work allowed her to travel the country as she promoted clients that included

“I would like to be a part of helping bring new, responsible business to Taos, so that we have something more to offer our citizens in terms of jobs, opportunities and competition, so goods and services aren’t as expensive.” Friday Jagers lists commercial properties, such as Byzantium Restaurant and Trading Post Café. In fact, her first sale was a shuttered restaurant, sold during the pandemic. Residential properties Friday Jagers’ life and her family’s history in Taos has influenced her perspective on residential sales. She notes that many of the properties that have been on the market more than a year are older adobe homes. These places possess a character and history she hopes to showcase and preserve. Her objective is to “specialize in letting these homes tell their stories.” To this end she launched taoshistorichomes.com. Friday Jagers uses 3D virtual video tours and an informative audiovisual Storybook to share listings’ facts and features, including the Hacienda de Viernes, an in-town property on La Posta.

Kit Carson now has 20 Megawatts of Solar “KCEC HAS BEEN WORKING TOWARDS PROVIDING RESILIENT, RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR ALL OUR MEMBERS EQUALLY SINCE 2002. The importance of this work is to demonstrate that renewable energy can be technically integrated into a rural grid in a way that allows all members access to renewable energy, rather than only a few members.

FEATURED HOME

Comfortable elegance is the defining feature of Sharon Bumpas Gilster’s home in the Weimer foothills east of Taos. Clean lines and thoughtful design combine to create a home that is not only efficient and low maintenance, but also beautiful a unique example of Taos Style. “I wanted a home with as small a carbon footprint as possible, as efficient as possible and close to zero maintenance,” says homeowner Sharon Bumpas Gilster. “I didn’t want a big showy place, but I wanted to be really comfortable and to have one room deep design so that I had windows all around me.” Gilster’s home fits gracefully into the landscape, sited between the well, a piñon pine and an arroyo, following the slope of the land to create commanding views in all directions. From the living room, large windows frame dramatic vistas of Pedernal and Ute Mountain to the west and north and Picuris Peak to the south. There is even a rare view of Wheeler Peak, tucked behind Taos Mountain.

Set on three acres, the house feels private and far away, but in reality, it is close to town. Celebratory fireworks are visible from the house, along with sunsets that sweep across the sky and give way to stardotted dark nights. Located close to the Carson National Forest, wild animals including bear, fox, coyote, and bobcat are often seen and a herd of 32 elk visited this winter. The house is tastefully designed so the elegant furnishings fade away to allow the views to shine. The living room is a peaceful place to meditate in solitude, as well as a comfortable place to spend time with friends. Gilster loves to cook and enjoys the innovative kitchen features like the Bosch induction stove top that heats up and cools down instantly.

A SMALL HOUSE COMFORTABLE FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT Gilster bought the land 20 years ago and moved forward with construction in 2016. With its small footprint, the house exemplifies the market trend towards smaller spaces. Gilster says that the National Association of Realtors research shows that the market will welcome houses between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet; her house is 1,900 square feet. “That makes sense to me,” says Gilster. “As I look at our children’s generation and younger, they don’t want big grand expensive houses.” She adds “Many years ago, I read the book ‘The Not So Big House’ and that was a huge influence on me. The book explores the idea that the human spirit is more at home in a smaller space. When it gets to be cavernous it loses its appeal.”

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY Gilster’s background in the design and space planning fields is on display with each thoughtful touch, including the Hunter Douglas blinds that feature the highest R-value for insulation on the market, in addition to resisting soil and dust. All the blinds can be controlled through Gilster’s smart phone. She explains that the whole house is run on an Apple Home system that allows her to not only open the blinds, but also control her front gate, house lighting, garden irrigation, heat and humidity remotely from anywhere in the world where she has a phone signal. “I couldn’t have built this house five or 10 years ago, the technology didn’t yet exist,” says Gilster. Her husband, Norman Gilster is an electrical engineer and security expert. He designed many of the systems in the house, including the air exchange system that brings in fresh air and filters out sand, dust, smoke and pollen. The state of the art heat and air conditioning also includes a humidifier. The sophisticated video surveillance system allows her to see what is happening around the house, including capturing photos of a recent visit from a bear that came to investigate her bird feeders. The whole house, including floors, walls and ceiling are constructed using SIP technology (structural insulated panels), one of the strongest and most insulated forms of construction. The floors are cork. “I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t have cork floors,” says Gilster. ”Like other wood types, it can be finished any way you want. It lasts a long time, is insect repellant, water and noise repellant and insulating for sound and heat. Cork is a renewable resource and is soft to walk on.”

FEATURED HOME

The windows in the home are premium vinyl, so there is nothing to maintain and the window glass is Solarban, which provides 100% UV protection. The house is capped by a 50-60 year standing seam roof that provides the perfect place for solar panels to attach that run the all-electric house. In the Gilsters’ house, there is no wasted space. Dressers fit between closets in alcoves. Space-saving pocket doors close off the guest wing for added privacy for visitors. “All the spaces of the house are the result of conscious decisions to use every corner and preserve as much space as possible for living,” says Gilster. Even though it is not large, the house feels spacious with its vaulted ceilings. The low voltage/LED cable lights provide a soft light to the room and leave intact the feeling of wide open spaces.

ENCHANTED HOMES CXXXIV

OUTDOOR SPACE The exterior of the house is simple and clean with its grey roof and light colored bricks. An architect from Iceland designed the home and a certain Nordic aesthetic is evident. A garden with water features, young fruit trees and roses greet visitors to the house. Re-blooming dwarf lilies define a graceful curve that will create a private garden room as they grow. “The intent is that when the lilacs mature, that will create a private space around the cutting flower garden, water features, seating spaces and hammock area,” explains Gilster. “I always wanted an English garden room for meditation.”

TAOS STYLE WITH A MODERN FLAIR When architect Oli Johannsson and wife came to visit the house as it neared completion, the architect’s wife asked what Gilster would have done differently in the design and construction of the house. Gilster said “Not a thing. This is exactly what I wanted.” Her vision created a house with Taos Style that embraces the natural beauty all around us in an efficient and elegant way.

THEN . NOW BY DENA MILLER

In honoring the 20th anniversary of its publication, “Enchanted Homes” has been exploring the many ways in which the community has changed between “Then” and “Now.” And who is better suited than some of the region’s top-notch realtors– all with 20 years or more of experience–to share their thoughts on the evolution over the last two decades of buying or selling a home here. EVAN BLISH

Meet Evan Blish (Piñon Investments of Taos); Lisa Davis (New Mexico Real Estate Group); Diane Enright (Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Taos Real Estate-Taos Homes); and Peter Lora (The Lora Company). It’s hardly surprising that the four unanimously noted the impact of emerging technology on today’s business practices. Davis, who has been licensed since 1995, said, “When I started in real estate the internet was barely getting going. We had Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which was a hardcopy listing printed biweekly.” Enright noted, “In 2000 we were still using faxes. I got my first smartphone–a Blackberry–in 2002.”

MORGAN TIMMS/COURTESY PHOTO

“No doubt that technology and the internet are responsible for a radical revolution in real estate,” Blish said. “Texting and videos on smartphones, using social media or websites such as Zillow, drones and professional photographs: The hundreds of platforms that we’re connected to distribute our listings around the world to millions [of

viewers] in literally minutes,” Enright agreed, as did Lora. “Information and communication are now 24/7/365,” Davis said, and “everything moves at a much faster pace. Being able to gather information up front means you are also able to expedite the transaction to whatever extent possible.”

But some things will never change. Buying or selling a home is one of the most consequential decisions that most of us will make in our lifetime, a fact of which this stellar team is acutely aware. Expertise, knowledge of the market, and a genuine desire to make their clients happy will always be the foundation for their services, Lora noted. “I still like to serve people,” he said. “I try to anticipate their wants and I work hard to exceed their expectations. Buying and selling real estate is a complex process, especially here in Northern New Mexico.” “Experience, hard work, and putting the client first have [always] kept my office at the top of the market the past 20 years,” said Enright. “Yes, the internet has been revolutionary but the actual process has remained the same,” Davis agreed. “There can still be a lot of unknowns so it remains important to cross your t’s and dot your i’s,” thus ensuring the client a seamless, professional transaction. For the clients of Blish, “Taos has always been a desirable place to live and that will never change,” he remarked, citing its diversity and all-season appeal. “People moving here really wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.” And, despite the technological advances, there ENCHANTED HOMES CXXXIV

COMMUNITY PROFILE

incorporated village of Angel Fire covers 18,450 acres. The village includes the general aviation Colfax County Airport and the Angel Fire Ski & Golf Resort, a private membership community overseen by the Association of Angel Fire Property Owners. The resort has more 2,000 private homes, a 500-acre ski and snowboard mountain, a destination zip line, a championship golf course, country club, fishing lake and other amenities for member-landowners. Nonmembers can pay to use most resort facilities.

Angel Fire is located at an elevation of 8,382 feet above sea level in the high Moreno Valley of Colfax County. The climate mirrors the Rocky Mountain setting that includes some of the highest peaks in New Mexico. About 210 inches of snow typically fall on Angel Fire in the winter, and average temperatures range between 0 and 30 degrees. Summertime highs rarely exceed 80 degrees, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms that cool off midday temperatures.

POPULATION

Estimated Angel Fire 2018 1,100 year-round; seasonal approx. 10,000 wintertime and 3,000 summertime

Originally a favored hunting ground for the Utes, the Moreno Valley grew in the 1860s with the discovery of gold. Ranching dominated the local scene until the 1960s when the first ski runs of Angel Fire Resort were cut on Aqua Fria Peak. Tourism fuels the local economy although several large, working ranches still operate in the area.

CLOSING STATEMENT

very basic creative way. No cookie cutter here. And the same can be said for the rambling farm house of Michael and Bonnie Kaufman, again, in Hondo. And it may not be a coincidence that they are both in the same area as that was New Buffalo, the '60s hippie compound that is now a bed-and-breakfast. Historically, in Taos, when folks built homes they had to deal with the climate and used simple techniques to deal with the heat of the summer sun. Windows were small to keep the sun out, especially on the south side of the house. On the north side, there were likely no windows, to ward against the winter cold. Today, folks want light and bright. And while the sun is still as hot as it used to be – some might say hotter due to global warming, but we won’t go there – thanks to new construction materials, and advances in design due to technology, small windows just don’t cut it anymore. The people who are coming here today want views and that calls for large windows. I guess today’s newcomers also have a few more dollars in their pockets and can build what they really want. Although not all, for sure.

TAOS STYLE. BY HARVEY BLAUSTEIN

One of the traits of Taoseños I treasure so is the lack of consumerism in our culture. There are lots and lots of reasons for that, not the least of which is the lack of money in our economy. Truth be told, fashion is not an issue here. Trends that affect decisions on the coasts, for example, just don’t even reach our eyeballs or enter our minds. With that said, I have lived here long enough now, some 26 years, that I do see changes in Taos Style. What folks who are moving here want and expect is different today. And what once passed for “funky” is now “dated” and that is not an adjective one wants applied to one’s home. Having said that there are some awesome character homes here and there that are throwbacks to the '60s and '70s when hippies were dominant in the Anglo culture. One example of a truly unique and full of authentic character home is that of Suzanna Starr in Arroyo Hondo. She may well have updated it from when I was in it last, but it was stellar in a

When we came here some 25 plus years ago, flooring was Saltillo tile and counter tops were Mexican Talavera, with colorful patterns. They weren’t expensive but over time I think many realized that the grout lines needed to be cleaned or maintained and that can be a pain in the butt. How much that contributed to the changes we now see in what buyers want can be argued. But today's buyers ask for granite, marble or Ceasarstone. Some like the price point of poured concrete or butcher block. But they are easy peasy to care for compared to what was once fashionable and folks today don’t want to work hard in their homes to live in their homes. Taos style in floors has also changed a lot. Back in the late '80s and '90s most floors were Saltillo tile. They weren’t expensive, a lot of guys knew how to install them, and the maintenance was reasonable. People loved the character of the tiles with dog paw prints in them, many of which were man-made rather than by a random wandering animal. Today, there are many more options that people have and one's taste and pocket depth can be a guide. We have wood floors in our home in town, but they are 80 years old. One does not see too many new homes with real hardwood floors. But we do see, and folks like, poured concrete floors. Which can be awesome. One does have to be comfortable with the inevitable cracking that seems to follow, although I have seen some where the finish remained whole. Here one can work with color, some of it really special. And many put rugs over prominent cracks to make them go away. Want stone? It’s out there. Still like Saltillo and the old Taos feel? You can do that. As always, Taos Style is as varied as the folks that inhabit this incredible valley. One of the truly special appeals for me is the variety of folks and how we all dance to the beat of our own drums. That is never more clear than in Taos Style, which I have been quoted as saying is no style. It’s live how you want to live with little judgment from those around you. And I love that about Taos, too. Harvey Blaustein is a retired attorney and local real estate broker.
