Extraordinary O'Keeffe Mountain Views & Stargazing

Sky Home offers panoramic views of the valley and the iconic Pedernal—Georgia O’Keeffe’s mountain muse. Sliding glass doors frame the striking backdrop, allowing you to take it in from the comfort of the living room or step onto the expansive deck to enjoy kaleidoscopic skies. A king bed rests in a sunlit bedroom with a stargazing skylight. A paradise for view seekers and a serene place to rest. Explore Ghost Ranch, Lake Abiquiú, Ojo Caliente, Plaza Blanca, or the Georgia O’Keeffe Home & Studio. The space Perched above the valley at the highest point of the LAND, Sky Home offers a front-row seat to one of the most iconic views in the American Southwest. From its expansive deck and sun-filled interiors, you’ll take in sweeping, unobstructed vistas of the Pedernal and the rolling contours of northern New Mexico. Sunrises and sunsets here are extraordinary, casting golden light across the open valley below. Sky Home, like all of the homes on the LAND, is constructed with non-toxic, natural materials—thick earthen adobe walls, clay and lime plasters, low-VOC finishes, and solid wood elements—designed for healthy living and natural thermal comfort. These materials naturally regulate temperature throughout the seasons, creating interiors that feel cool in summer, warm in winter, and deeply restorative year-round. As night falls, the home becomes a haven for stargazers and photographers. With near-zero light and sound contamination, the skies reveal the Milky Way, visible planets, and meteor showers in breathtaking clarity. Whether you’re capturing constellations through a lens or simply lying back on the deck, the cosmos feels remarkably close. The broad wooden deck is ideal for morning movement, meditation, reading, or simply taking in the view. Sky Home is a sanctuary for creatives, nature lovers, and anyone seeking stillness and inspiration. Kitchen Amenities The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed and includes: - Electric range with oven - Vitamix blender - Coffee maker, kettle, and toaster - Full cookware set - Crock pot - Fully stocked dishware and glassware - Coffee, tea, olive oil, salt, pepper, and essential spices Sky Home is one of six custom adobe structures on the LAND—a 43-acre retreat sanctuary bordered by 1.5 million acres of national forest. A year-round creek flows through the property, bringing life, gentle sound, and occasional beaver sightings. The birdlife is abundant, and the prevailing soundtrack is rustling leaves, flowing water, and deep stillness. In line with our commitment to regenerative living, the home has no air conditioning—we rely on adobe’s natural thermal regulation for comfort. The property is strictly pesticide-free to protect the delicate ecosystem. By choosing to stay here, you’re invited into a slower, more conscious way of living—one that honors land, wildlife, and natural systems. Guest access As a guest of Sky Home, you’ll have full access to the 43-acre LAND. The property includes three additional guest homes, the Cathedral Barn (used for group lodging and gatherings), and the private residence where the owners live. The homes are thoughtfully spaced to preserve a sense of quiet and privacy. Wander freely throughout the property, where the orchard offers seasonal apricots, apples, pears, and plums when in season. Open any gate and step directly into the national forest for hiking, nature walks, or mountain biking across rugged, wide-open terrain. Sit quietly beside the year-round creek in this protected beaver habitat, or watch for wildlife at dusk. Children can safely explore while you rest and reconnect. Shared outdoor amenities include: - Two open-air yoga/viewing decks - The Fire View, a raised stone platform with unobstructed views of the Pedernal, featuring a wood-burning fire pit and grill - Access to Beaver Creek - Access to the Tsiping Ruins trailhead - Private entry into the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest Whether you’re here to explore, create, or simply pause, the LAND offers a rare invitation to return to land, light, sky, and quiet. Other things to note The Land draws its water from a deep well that taps directly into an underground aquifer. The result is clean, naturally filtered water—fresh from the earth and free of chemicals. You may encounter our friendly property cats as they wander the grounds or rest near the homes. We charge a $30 pet fee per pet, with a maximum of three pets per home. For bookings with three dogs, an additional $50 cleaning fee applies. To support both work and relaxation, we’ve installed high-speed fiber internet throughout The Land. Please note that the LAND is located in rural northern New Mexico, surrounded by pristine wilderness. It’s common to see deer, foxes, elk, and a wide variety of birds. While the broader region is home to wildlife such as bears and mountain lions, we have never seen a mountain lion on the property and have only seen a bear once in many years. Encounters are extremely rare and highly unlikely, but we share this information in the spirit of transparency about life in a natural high-desert environment. We encourage guests to enjoy the natural surroundings with curiosity and care.
