Abiquiu House Overlooking Plaza Blanca

An adobe home on 13.5 acres of land and has expansive views of Abiquiu, the Chama river valley, the geologic formations known as Plaza Blanca (or the “White Place”), and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains over Santa Fe. We are located 55mins from Santa Fe, and 5hrs from Denver. Abiquiu is a destination frequented by artists, writers, spirit seekers, and nature lovers from around the world. Check out our photos on our Insta (@59junipers) The space We’ve spent the last few years fixing up our house to be an enjoyable place for us to live in for part of the year, host friends, family, and others who are interested in getting away and enjoying the solitude and incredible views. Many of the rugs and decor in our space come from Turkey. Juliette is Turkish and when we go back to visit family, it is hard to not come back with some additional goods. Most of the furniture, bedding, and appliances in the house are new. Our house has one bedroom with a queen bed and A/C unit, and an additional queen bed tucked away (loft style, behind a bookcase) in the main room next to the living room. The space can comfortably sleep 4 people. We have one bathroom that has a walk-in shower, and large washer and dryer. Our entry has a mud room (for removing shoes), and a large entryway space for keeping items that go in-and-out of the house like luggage, coolers, backpacks, etc... We also rent out our casita, which is about 100ft away from the house and is divided by a row of Juniper trees. Please let us know if you are interested in both places. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Remote work We feel that our house is the perfect place to work from, relax, and use as your base camp for expeditions around Northern New Mexico. Seriously, we love working from that space. The wood ceilings provide a great backdrop for all of your ZOOM calls. Plus we have fast internet powered by a Starlink (80 - 124mbps) that feeds into an Eero Mesh router system around the property. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kitchen + Grill We have an induction stove that get hot very quickly, and a number of pans and baking gear in the kitchen. If you need something additional, let us know. We also have a gas grill on the patio. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A/C + Heat There are new A/C + heating units around the house. Though most of the year, the temperature drops at night and you'll find that opening a window will provide you with the right amount of cool air to make you fall into a deep sleep. The house also has radiant floor heating which helps to keep the whole space super comfortable on those extra cold days. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Water The water on our property comes from our well. The tap water is fairly drinkable (slightly alkaline), but we recommend using the filtered water that is available to the right of the sink. There is also a filtered water tap in the fridge. We ask that guests be mindful of their water use when staying with us. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Laundry We have a new washer/dryer and have Meyer's lavender laundry detergent on hand for you to use when you're here. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Desert Critters We are in the desert and there are critters around in the warmer months (snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, centipedes). We continually do a lot of work to seal up the house and ensure none of them get in, but we’ve found that the occasional one still finds a way in, mostly through people leaving a door open. We use a natural, peppermint bug spray around common doorways. It works! We also recommend bringing a pair of slippers when in the house! Guest access You’ll have full access to the house, which should have all the amenities you need to have a comfortable stay in Abiquiu. The patio are a perfect place to watch the sunrise, do morning yoga, or see the milky way at night. Our casita is about 100ft away from our main house, and there is a row of dense Juniper trees between both places which helps to create private space for the people staying in the casita and on the outdoor patio area. Please let us know if you are interested in both places. There is plenty of parking in our large driveway. Other things to note Our place is one of a few houses up on the mesa overlooking Abiquiu. The neighbors are all artists who have lived in the area for over 30 years. They are all friendly and all have a deep admiration for land, nature, and the magic of the area. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Groceries If you are coming in from afar, it would be a good idea to bring a few basic provisions with you (coffee, milk, eggs, etc...). The local grocery, Bodes, is open 7am-7pm daily. • Bode’s is possibly the most famous gas station in the west. Their breakfast burritos are considered the best in New Mexico. They also have a wide selection of food items, from eggs and milk to rotisserie chicken, wine, ice cream, and local beers. They are open from 7am-7pm daily. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Restaurants in the area • Café Sierra Negra is a relatively new and popular spot among locals. The food is fantastic, fresh, and made with love by Melody and her local staff. There are a number of great options for vegetarians. Get there early (before 7pm) as items sell out fast. • Abiquiu Inn is a great spot any day or night of the week. Everything on the menu is great, but we highly recommend the blue corn trout tacos, or the green chili hamburger! They are open till 9pm. • The Frosty Cow serves ice cream, milkshakes, and paninis. They’re across the street from Bode’s and are open most days of the week, Apr thru Oct. The Frosty cow hibernates from Nov-Mar. • Mamacita’s pizza is much loved by the locals and is currently open 3 nights a week. They’re located at the intersection of HWY 84 and 554 to El Rito. You’ll have to stop by to see their current hours. • El Farolito is a great place for authentic Northern New Mexico food. They are located in the heart of El Rito (18min away), and open Weds-Sun.
