At the heart of the property stands the Spanish Colonial hacienda, masterfully restored to preserve its 19th-century charm and intricate detailing, all with modern luxury. The estate also includes a 4-car garage, detached bathroom facilities, and a 1,700-square-foot potential guest house. The adjoining 66 acres is also available (23953838).
Truly part of New Mexico's history, Rancho de Abiquiu was founded as the area's first outpost along the old Spanish trail in the early 1700s. Originally granted to Rosalie Valdez by the king of Spain, the Plaza Colorado Grant once spanned the entire Abiquiu area. Its ancient cottonwoods bear witness to 300 years of storied history, evolving into a grand hacienda that has welcomed political figures, artists, and movie stars.
Outdoor recreation abounds, with excellent fishing on the Chama River, Abiquiu Lake, and Vallecitos River. Rafting opportunities are excellent on the Chama. The nearby National Forest offers trails for hiking, horseback riding, and ATV use.
Rancho de Abiquiu could be a spectacular family compound, luxury guest lodge, corporate retreat, luxury equestrian property, winery, or farm-to-table destination. With its combination of historic character, wildlife, natural beauty, and agricultural abundance, Rancho de Abiquiu is a rare offering that captures the soul of the Southwest, ready for its next visionary steward.
