About this property

Beautiful Adobe Overlooking Ghost Ranch And Abiquiu Lake

Please see important NOTE at the end of this description regarding RV's and other recreation vehicles.

'It was all so far away--there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.' Georgia O'Keeffe

Serenity abounds at Casa Bonita, where it is easy to see why this country had such a profound impact on Georgia O'Keeffe. Light and open, this modern adobe rests on ten acres overlooking Abiquiu Lake towards Ghost Ranch, with gorgeous views in all directions. Picture windows throughout the living area allow you to appreciate the vistas from the comfort of the well-appointed interior. The covered portales (covered porches) are ideal for enjoying the tranquility of the environment. Admire the view of the Pedernal from the portale off of the master suite, or take in the iconic landscape of Ghost Ranch while you grill on the portale off of the kitchen.

Spend your days hiking, visiting area galleries, or reconnecting with your own creative side. And after enjoying the unique sunset at the end of the day, savor the starlight of the unadulterated night sky.

'My first memory is of light--the brightness of light--light all around.' Georgia O'Keeffe

NOTE: RV's, trailers of any sort, large trucks, and small vehicles: motorcycles, skimobiles and such are prohibited in this gated community, called High Mesas.

Amazing views. Comfortable, clean, and well-appointed rental with beautiful art and a high-end feel. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. The road in is rough and unpaved. Expect your car to need a wash.

We have been staying here for several years and truly love it. Casa Bonita is equipped with everything you need. Shopping is available at Bodies in Abiquiu or Espanola. You are a hour from Santa Fe and Taos. The view is Spectacular! We will be coming back.
