The clarity of light and vast landscapes of Abiquiu have drawn artists and seekers over the ages.

Just east of Abiquiu this enchanting adobe and stone house on 23 acres overlooking Abiquiu Valley has vistas with extraordinary sunsets and sunrises. Cerro Pedernal and Polvadera Peak crown the Jemez Mountains to the south, nearby Sierra Negra dominates the north, and in the distant east the Sangre de Cristo mountains between Santa Fe and Taos present their snow-white tops for at least six months of the year.

The "Abiquiu House", built by owner Pat Frazier in 1994 as the first vacation home in the Abiquiu area, is beautifully appointed. Its round design creates an intimate space and warm environment. Of course the flagstone radiant in-floor heat, the adobe fireplace, and the outdoors hot tub help. In hotter months the adobe and stone walls keep the house amazingly cool. A ton of Mexican tile add character, as do the flagstone ceilings. The covered portal offers an enjoyable breakfast nook.

While working at the Restore for Habitat for Humanity, Pat collected lots of wonderful recycled items to add charm to her creation. It is her hope and intention that the peaceful sanctuary she created will rejuvenate many who want to share northern New Mexico’s Magical Land.

The fully equipped "Abiquiu House", with kitchen / dining, one bedroom with queensize feather bed, single sleeper sofa, and full bathroom can be "enlarged" for two more guests. Nearby is Amelia, the Vintage Airstream, an authentic little home on wheels from 1960, a cozy yet comfortable getaway also with spectacular views (see listing #106708).

Each year during Columbus Day weekend in October, Abiquiu has its annual Abiquiu Studio Tour. About 60 artists open up their studio's and share their art with visitors of the area. During that weekend the fall colors are abundant.

  • Abiquiu House was a vacation to remember for a lifetime. Gorgeous scenery to view, skies in the evening with stars like no other place on earth. An artist's dream spot come true living for a few days in Abiquiu House overlooking Georgia O'Keeffe country all around oneself.Timeless days waking only to more wonders of Abiquiu House. This home is a "must" do again for sure. Everyone should get to meet Pat.....a awesome lady. Larry & Lisa Montana

  • My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at the Abiquiu House in July. We cannot express how beautiful it is. Pat was a fantastic hostess. The house is much larger than it seems in the pictures, and the space around it is gorgeous. Pat has put so much soul and artistry into all of the decor, tile choices and even a beautiful arched quartz window. Abiquiu is situated in a perfect location for activities. We visited several of the local vineyards (I highly recommend Black Mesa) as well as dozens of places to hike and take amazing photographs (Chimney Rock & Plaza Blanca are a must). We can't wait to come back soon and stay longer.

  • My husband and I stayed in this fabulous place, in June. I could not believe our fortune to have it for a few days on short notice. Like the comment above, I want to go back for an extended stay. At first the landscape seems so barren, but as you walk around, you begin to see the life there.. the past there.. visions of the far distant past come clear. It is a place of beauty, mystery and vision. A place of peace, where once there was war. We are both reading the history of the area. It is so facinating. Ghost Ranch is minutes away, Bode's store holds treats that will surprise you... organic produce, meats, just about anything you will need for your time there, plus.. signed books.. and as we were leaving, they were opening an area to sell local artists wares. Pat is a wonderful hostess.. there when you need her.. but not nosing into your space, if you want to be alone. Next time, with more time, I hope to get to know her, too. You won't be sorry.. I might be if you book the time I want!!!

  • We really enjoyed our stay at the "Round House". The atmosphere was better than expected and the openness of the New Mexico landscape is something I will never forget. I would love come back again someday and stay for an extended period if possible. The adobe walls, stone work, tile work, lend the house to it’s beautiful location in such a romantic way, that it’s magical.
