The Land

Encompassing approximately 178 acres and bordered on two sides by the Santa Fe National Forest, this exceptional Pecos estate offers a level of privacy, natural beauty, and presence seldom found. Anchored by the iconic Cicuye Arch and the spring-fed sanctuary of Bear Hollow, the land moves to the rhythms of mule deer, fox, black bear, mountain lion, and coyote, while a seasonal elk herd passes through in step with the changing seasons. Developed with refined residential living, dedicated retreat spaces, and immersive outdoor environments, the property is both a private sanctuary and a fully realized legacy — just 45 minutes from Santa Fe.

The Residence & Guest House

The residence is a refined expression of mountain living: warm, timeless, and designed for both comfort and quiet elegance. At its center, a dramatic 20-foot stone fireplace anchors the living room, creating a space that is deeply inviting. The kitchen, appointed with professional-grade appliances, is complemented by a separate scullery with its own sink, dishwasher, and pantry — allowing the kitchen to remain serene during entertaining.

The primary suite offers a private retreat, with a bath featuring a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and generous walk-in closet. Additional accommodations include a second bedroom, three baths, and two private offices, all oriented toward both function and tranquility. Outdoor living is equally considered, with a screened back porch and expansive covered front veranda overlooking the surrounding mountain landscape. Beyond the walls, extensive terraced gardens unfold in quiet harmony with the land, defined by handcrafted stone walls gathered directly from the property — an expression of both natural beauty and careful stewardship.

A fully independent guest residence above the three-car garage offers beautifully appointed accommodations complete with kitchen, living room, bedroom, bath, and laundry — ideal for hosting guests or extended stays.

The Retreat Space

Long established as a destination for retreats, the estate is designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger experiences. At its most distinctive, an enclosed medicinal herb garden — with a tearoom and small buffet hall — creates a space of cultivation, restoration, and quiet reflection unlike anything found in comparable mountain properties. A separate studio and event hall of approximately 1,200 square feet, complete with kitchen and two bathrooms, provides a versatile setting for workshops, movement, or private events.

Two koi ponds form the heart of a serene outdoor retreat, distinct from the natural springs of Bear Hollow. Between them, a screened dining pavilion with fireplace and a generous covered porch provide an exceptional setting for open-air dining and evening gatherings beneath the mountain sky.

The Equestrian Facilities

Equestrian facilities, including corrals and a two-stall barn, along with an RV or tractor barn and included Kubota tractor, support both recreation and ongoing stewardship of the land. Miles of private trails wind throughout the property and extend seamlessly into the surrounding National Forest, offering direct access to an expansive and protected wilderness.

The Dream

A property of rare substance and enduring beauty — this is more than a ranch. It is a private world shaped by land, water, and intention, offering an opportunity seldom encountered: to own a place of true presence, privacy, and legacy in the mountains of northern New Mexico.
