Ever considered running away to the mountains, writing a novel, raising a few sheep, and becoming considerably more interesting? Well… here’s your chance. Tucked into the lush mountain valley of Llano de San Juan, just off the High Road between Taos and Santa Fe, this 100+ year-old adobe shepherd’s cabin sits on 6.7 glorious acres with water, history, and enough Northern New Mexico magic to make you seriously reconsider your current life choices. The cabin is simple, soulful, and the real deal. Writer’s retreat? Artist hideaway? Mountain escape? Home base while you dream up something bigger? Absolutely. Or keep it just as it is and enjoy the increasingly rare pleasure of having a quiet little place to disappear to. Well, quiet when the birds aren’t chirping and the frogs aren’t singing, but you’ll get used to it. And then there’s the water. A year-round spring-fed pond, the Acequia de Jolla, AND the Rio Chiquito all run through the property. Water rights from two separate ditches, the Acequia del Monte and Acequia de Jolla, are registered with the State of New Mexico. In New Mexico, we call that kind of a big deal. With 6.7 acres to play with, there’s plenty of room to dream: gardens, agriculture, animals, restoration projects, or simply leave things beautifully alone and let the land do its thing. When you feel like venturing beyond your own little kingdom, Forest Service trails are about a ten-minute walk away, with Santa Barbara Canyon and Jicarita Peak just a short drive from home. Hike. Bike. Wander. Explore. Repeat. Taos is about 35 minutes away, and Santa Fe roughly an hour—making this one heck of a base camp for exploring Northern New Mexico. At nearly 9,000 feet, summers are sweet, mountain air is plentiful, and winters are magical Bring your paintbrush. Bring your manuscript. Bring the sheep. Your Northern New Mexico chapter starts here.
