Location: Dixon, New Mexico, USA (2 hours from Albuquerque airport, 45 minutes to Santa Fe)
Accommodations: Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-3)
This property is one of two that I rent on 3 acres of land alongside the Rio Grande River. It is secluded and perfect for a romantic getaway but Taos and Santa Fe are easily accessible. The tiny village of Dixon is an artists' destination with a community store and endless rustic charm. Come in November when the art tour is happening. Fishing, tubing or rafting are fun here...you can put in at the County Line and raft directly to the cabin or go farther downstream to historic Embudo Station Restaurant where you can sit under 150 year old cottonwood trees and dine on the river. There is also a small, private swimming area on the river. Artists and writers will find inspiration and stressed-out urban dwellers will find a sanctuary for regeneration and healing. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs is nearby and Taos with all its rustic beauty and history is a 20 minute drive. Santa Fe's great restaurants, museums and shopping is only a 45 minute drive. Come, relax, find serenity and experience the healing spirit of New Mexico with its crystaline air and its untamed, natural beauty.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
I have found that New Mexico is truly the "land of enchantment". I lived in Boston for 15 years (in the Back Bay area) and in Paris, France for 5 years before that. I am an international fine art dealer and I specialize in 19th century French paintings. On a trip to Los Angeles I visited a friend in New Mexico and got "hooked'. My friend's husband had some property on the Rio Grande in Embudo with a little cabin that I rented it for several summers to get away from the city.
When I first saw the land (right across the river from his)it was love at first sight. Eventually, I bought it and kept coming as often as possible. This place became my sanctuary and pulled at my heartstrings each time I had to leave. I renovated an original, 2 story log cabin and started building a larger home next to it.
The final change came when I had a major health crisis. I knew that I had to make a choice to be where I wanted to be and live my life fully. I sold my townhouse on Marlborough Street in Boston's Back Bay, and began landscaping and expanding my New Mexico home to make it the rural dream I wanted.
I know that I will end up here permanently, but for now, I will share it with others. I know that my visitors will take home a very unique and deeply satisfying experience. I look forward to meeting you and showing you my world.
Why the Owner Chose Dixon
It chose me! It was the last place I ever thought I would be, however, I stopped to visit a friend and she introduced me to the Dixon area where her husband had some property...that was it for me! When I saw the land I fell under its spell and knew that I had to return. I have traveled all over the world and have not found an area as dramatically beautiful as northern New Mexico.
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
I really enjoy watching the wildlife on the river and canoeing. Swimming and rafting are also fun. Cooking out on the river and building a crackling fire in the kiva fireplace is always a wonderful way to relax. There are some very special secluded and magical places to walk or hike with breathtaking views. I guess the privacy of my land and the rustic charm of the cabin and house are what I enjoy most because I can totally relax and heal from the pressures of my business and city-life. Everything else just either slips away or falls into place here. It is paradise on earth to me.
