Property description

Premier Legacy Compound and Equestrian Estate. Abiquiu Valley Farm is one of New Mexico’s most significant properties. With over 220 majestic acres along the banks of the Chama River consisting of a private riverfront bosque, fertile pastureland and natural ponds, this tranquil oasis has stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Pedernal that drew O’Keeffe to the Southwest. The compound is anchored by a luxurious 6,500-square-foot main house—designed by renowned architect Theodore Waddell—that features a central atrium fountain, elegant living spaces, great room with facing fireplaces, art gallery, floor- to -ceiling paneled library, fabulous chef’s kitchen, formal dining room with fireplace and hand painted ceiling from Italy, and inviting bedroom and bath suites featuring imported tiles. A local artist designed the 3500-square-foot 3-bedroom 5-bath guest house, which features a central courtyard, open plan kitchen, dining and living areas and two separate ensuite casitas surrounded by gardens. The Art Barn is a 5,700-square-foot cathedral-style adobe with large open spaces designed to host special events and includes a kitchen and two apartments. Impressive equestrian facilities include a 10-stall Morton barn, and outdoor sand dressage arena and paddocks with Kentucky-style fencing . It is the state’s only Demeter-certified Biodynamic organic farm. The property benefits from solar power generation; geothermal radiant heating and cooling for all the residences; reverse-osmosis water filtration for the three homes, the barns, and the paddocks; and water from wells, acequia irrigation rights, ponds, and the river. The bosque is a birdwatcher’s paradise, a waterfall-fed pool is perfect for fly-fishing, and abundant elk call the farm home. Located just 57 miles from both the Santa Fe and Taos Regional Airports and 114 miles from Albuquerque Sunport, International Airport.
