Rancho de Abiquiu offers a luxurious lifestyle in a historic locale beside the Chama River and the Old Spanish Trail. This approximately 13,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial adobe hacienda dates back to the early 1800s, emerging from the ancient Plaza Colorado land grant, showcasing evidence of human habitation since 5,000 BCE and ancient acequia systems. Today, the “Grand Hacienda” seamlessly blends Territorial and Pueblo Revival styles with Spanish colonial elements. Its interior boasts beamed ceilings, rustic brick, wooden plank, and Saltillo-tiled floors, complemented by traditional features like bancos and a shepherd’s fireplace. Additionally, it includes a grand library hall, three private offices, and a four-car garage. As the centerpiece of the area’s history, spanning from early Spanish colonial outposts to present-day Abiquiu, the ranch encompasses one mile of Chama River frontage accompanied by 819 acre-feet of surface water rights and ancient cottonwood-filled bosques. Beyond its agricultural significance, the property is ideal for hospitality and entertainment ventures, with established commercial infrastructure and abundant amenities, including courtyards, staff quarters, guest accommodations, and workshop facilities. The current owners have undertaken substantial infrastructure improvements, ensuring the property’s continued excellence. Centrally located between Santa Fe and Taos, Abiquiu offers proximity to various attractions and recreational opportunities, from Plaza Blanca to Ghost Ranch, catering to outdoor enthusiasts and art aficionados alike.
