Rancho de Abiquiú Estates

Situated along 1,257± feet of the Chama River, this 66± acre property blends historic charm and agricultural bounty. Huge cottonwoods and lush, productive hay fields dominate the property. The 184± acre-feet of senior (pre-1907) water rights provide abundant and dependable irrigation and are a valuable commodity in arid New Mexico. The resident elk herd is often seen grazing in the fields in mornings and evenings. This property offers beauty and serenity, just an hour from Santa Fe.

This property was once part of the Plaza Colorado Land Grant, which dates to 1739, and was named for the dramatic red hills in the area. These same hills went on to inspire American artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Abiquiú was home to O’Keeffe from 1929 until 1984, and many of her paintings depict scenes from the area. This thriving little art community grew around the legacy of the Georgia O’Keeffe Home and Studio.

This property supported the substantial livestock operation for the sprawling six-thousand-acre ranch in years past. The improvements include a caretaker’s residence, heated equipment barn, pipe corrals, sorting pens, and scales. The adjoining 138± acres with the historic Spanish hacienda are also available.

Outdoor recreation abounds, with excellent fishing on the Chama River, Abiquiú Lake, and Vallecitos River. The Chama also offers excellent rafting opportunities. The nearby National Forest offers trails for hiking, horseback riding, and ATV use.

Rancho de Abiquiú Estates offers an exceptional setting for a dream home or luxury equestrian estate—just one hour from Santa Fe. Its rich history, scenic beauty, wildlife, and productive farmland also present exciting potential for a vineyard, winery, or farm-to-table destination. This versatile property blends historic character and opportunity in a truly unique way.
