Hearing the name Santa Fe conjures images of adobe buildings, desert, mountains, pueblos, Georgia O'Keeffe paintings, the Santa Fe Trail, and pungent southwestern food. Very much the way the great masters were drawn to the south of France for the pure light in which to paint, so too have artists been drawn to Santa Fe. It’s a city filled to the brim with galleries of fine art and sculpture and is well known for writers such as Don DeLillo, Nicholson Baker, and Adrienne Rich, who are attracted to the creative environment. Residents enjoy music, dance, opera, theatre, museums and festivals.

This 175-acre ranch and adobe hacienda was built in the Spanish Pueblo Revival-style and blending into the desert landscape, appears to be guarded by the peaks of the Ortiz Mountains standing on either side of the ranch in the background. The 24,687 square foot interior contains 13 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and 18 fireplaces. Public spaces are large and elegant for hosting multiple guests for fundraisers or other large events, but other spaces are intimate and inviting to enjoy with family and close friends. The main residence compound also has a chapel, a round stone torreon (Mayan temple to the sun god) with a roof deck and a four bedroom guest house. The property includes equestrian facilities, pastures, 12 stables, a barn, and an arena for roping and cutting. Ceilings in the main house include boveda and viga and there are light fixtures custom made from wrought iron and goatskin. The courtyard has a cantina and patio beside an infinity-edge pool.
