Description
Set along the tranquil banks of the Chama River, this exceptional private estate captures the extraordinary beauty of northern New Mexico’s landscape—with panoramic views of colorful canyons and mesas immortalized in the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. Shaded by majestic cottonwoods and thoughtfully positioned on 20 acres of fertile pastureland including a small vineyard, the residence offers gracious sanctuary. Northern New Mexico style main home features soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and vigas, brick floors, multiple fireplaces, hand-carved wooden doors, and expansive living spaces that blend warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless regional character. At the heart of the home, an open chef’s kitchen—ideal for both intimate living and elegant entertaining. The secluded primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with an ensuite bath and adjoining sun-filled study, opening onto a private courtyard patio. Additional bedrooms each feature their own baths and direct outdoor access, offering guests both comfort and privacy. A fully equipped modern casita provides luxurious accommodations for visitors, artists, or extended stays, with its own inviting outdoor spaces. Outdoor living unfolds across beautifully designed grounds with covered flagstone portals, courtyard gardens, and multiple seating areas that invite relaxation and celebration. Amenities include a traditional horno oven, grill, jacuzzi spa, tree-lined pond, and a fire pit—where the current owners have hosted memorable annual oyster roasts beneath expansive New Mexico skies. A private bridge crossing a fork of the river adds a distinctive and enchanting element to the property. For equestrian and agricultural pursuits, the estate includes a large, lofted barn, corrals, livestock pens, and a chicken coop. The fully fenced acreage benefits from two private wells and valuable water ditch rights, supporting both the vineyard and pastureland. This remarkable property offers a rare combination of luxury living, agricultural potential, and authentic Southwestern character, while serving as a gateway to the region’s renowned natural and cultural landmarks, including Plaza Blanca, Christ in the Desert Monastery, Ghost Ranch, Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio, Abiquiu Lake, and Echo Amphitheater.
