In the heart of Georgia O’Keeffe country sits this 115 acre working ranch with a 200+ year old territorial style adobe home and one mile of frontage on the Chama River.  The largest remaining intact portion of a land grant made to Bartolome Trujillo in the early 1730s, the property was once the headquarters of what was originally an 11,000 acre ranch. The 4,000 square foot main house of four bedrooms and three baths comes with vigas and latillas, radiant heated stone floors, and three fireplaces; nearby but still private is the one bedroom, one bath casita that once served as a bunkhouse for ranch hands.  The land includes two ponds, 156 acre feet of adjudicated water rights for irrigation purposes with a 1734 priority date, and multiple additional structures.  Special touches such as adobe handmade and formed by a local family and a pasture area peppered with Anasazi Indian pottery shards add to the appeal of this unique offering.
