Spectacular Ranch Overlooking the Chama River at the Heart of Abiquiu

This is a gorgeous house perched above the Chama river on 22 stunning acres in the heart of Abiquiu. Surrounded by flower & herb gardens, fruit trees, an old growth "bosque," and beautiful views, this is a magical spot for personal relaxation, family reunion, group gatherings and celebratory events!
The house marries old New Mexico charm, deep set windows, kiva fireplaces, antique and tribal furnishings, and original art work with modern comforts and conveniences throughout, including newly upgraded, high speed internet through Starlink.
The garden areas adjacent to the house include an outdoor fire pit, herb and flower gardens, a grape arbor and plum, apple, pear and peach trees. The property also features an old growth cottonwood grove, beautiful river and mountain views, and direct river access. The ranch is located near the entrance to Plaza Blanca (or, the White Place, as Georgia O'Keeffe called it, ) and sits immediately across the Chama river from Bode's and the Abiquiu Inn. It is a magical spot for personal retreat, local exploration, family gatherings, celebrations and workshops!
The main wing of the house includes three guest bedrooms, each with a private bathroom; a large living and dining room, a well stocked kitchen with an adjoining game area, a laundry/mud room and a screened sunroom with gorgeous views of the Chama river and the mountains that drew Georgia O'Keefe, among many others, to Abiquiu. (Upon request, the two king size beds in the main wing can be converted to 4 single beds.). A second wing of the house, off of the kitchen, includes two bedrooms, one with a king bed, the other with two single beds; a large, shared bathroom with double sinks, a bathtub and walk in shower; and, a cozy TV room with pull out queen sofa bed and wood burning stove.
The house's deep walls, ceiling fans and cool Abiquiu nights make for lovely sleeping temperatures during summer months, and in the winter, radiant floor heat and several fire places keep the house warm and cozy.
We permit a dog, but only with advance approval. Any dog that comes onto the property must be experienced and safe with ranch animals, as well as with people it doesn't know.
The ranch makes for an extra special place for family gatherings and celebrations. Both are allowed on the ranch, however fees apply if gatherings will include more people than are part of the overnight guest party.
The ranch is an amazing place for weddings! It can accommodate weddings up to 135 people. Booking the ranch for a wedding can be done directly with us (wedding venue fees will apply).
Longer stays at the ranch, with reduced rates, are possible. Please enquire with us directly.
Other things to know:
- Rosy, our pony, and Paddy and Honey, two rescue horses, live in the barn along with Scully, a rescue cat. Our animals are friendly, however use of the barn and access to the animals is off limits to guests for safety reasons. The barn, outbuildings, corrals, and pasture areas are not included with the house rental.
- River Access: guests are welcome to visit and play in the river from the property, however all do so at their own risk. Currents can be strong and we cannot vouch for the safety of playing in the river.
- Wildlife: different kinds of animals (including coyotes), species of birds, reptiles (including rattle snakes) and insects live in abundance in this part of the world. There is exceptional natural beauty to be found here, both on the property and in nearby areas, but exploring the outdoor areas here is best suited for people who are comfortable with and love nature in all its manifestations.
