Rancho de abiquiú is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a legacy estate in the heart of northern new mexico. situated along 4,250± feet of the chama river, this 138± acre estate blends historic charm and agricultural bounty. the beautifully restored 13,000± square-foot spanish colonial hacienda is surrounded by towering cottonwoods and overlooks lush, productive hay fields. the 315 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 can be viewed from the portal in the mornings and evenings. rancho de abiquiú offers luxury and pastoral living, with proximity to santa fe and taos.
at the heart of the property stands the spanish colonial hacienda, masterfully restored to preserve its 19th-century charm while offering 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 with water rights and river frontage is also available.
truly part of new mexico's history, rancho de abiquiú 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, abiquiú 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 abiquiú 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 abiquiú is a rare offering that captures the soul of the southwest—ready for its next visionary steward.
