Nestled in a landscape evoking the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, Estancia del Rio is situated atop a bluff overlooking the Chama River, offering expansive views of Abiquiu Lake, Cerro Pedernal, and the multi-colored cliffs unique to Ghost Ranch and the area. Located west of Abiquiu, this private retreat spans over 1000 acres and borders the Santa Fe National Forest and the Chama River Canyon Wilderness area. Designed by Curtis & Windham Architects and constructed by respected builder John Wolf, the steel and concrete home and casitas maximize views of Piedra Lumbre, celebrated by Georgia O'Keeffe. The interior exudes a timeless allure with its stone block walls, red brick floors, and expansive wood beams adorning the ceilings. Estancia del Rio consists of three separate buildings. The central gathering building, where living, cooking, and dining converge, seamlessly blends rustic elements with contemporary design. A custom chef's kitchen, outfitted with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, stands as a testament to culinary excellence. Its location closest to the bluff features expansive windows that frame the stunning scenery. The owner's casita is a separate building offering a library, two bedrooms, and two baths. Another building provides two additional bedrooms, each with ensuite baths. Each structure harmonizes with the natural surroundings while offering luxury retreat amenities. The property is gated and surrounded by other large parcels with restrictions, limiting future subdivision. An additional adjacent 500-acre parcel of vacant land is available for sale, providing additional access to the National Wilderness and bordering the Rio Chama. Experience the beauty and serenity of Estancia del Rio, where luxury living meets the captivating landscapes of Northern New Mexico.
