The Abiquiu / Rio Arriba County area is known for many things, including the famous painter Georgia O’Keeffe, the Carson National Forest, Santa Fe National Forest, various volcanic activity and stunning landscapes.

Georgia O’Keeffe frequently painted Cerro Pedernal and its beauty captivated her attention throughout the years she spent in Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. The painter spent many years between Abiquiu and Santa Fe, painting the vast landscape of northern New Mexico. Under a bright New Mexico sun, the desolate geography became a cornerstone of O’Keeffe’s work. From this property, you have the unique ability to share this piece of history for generations to come. Check out O’Keeffe’s work at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum online or in person (Abiquiu and Santa Fe).

Cerro Pedernal is a narrow mesa, offering one of the most iconic volcanic structures in northern New Mexico. At its highest point, Pedernal stands at 9,862 feet and is a popular spot for rock climbers. Located in the Jemez Mountains of the Santa Fe National Forest, the mountain rock was used for arrowheads and other tools by native peoples. Dsiplayed beautifully by Georgia O’Keeffe, her unique paintings of the mesa can be viewed in her online collection.

Nearby, you’ll also find the Abiquiu Reservoir - 5,200 acres with some of the best fishing in northern New Mexico and impressive views of Cerro Pedernal. Reptile fossils dating to over 200 million years ago have also been found in the area.

That’s a heck of a history lesson! If you want to experience the impeccable beauty of northern New Mexico with an historic past, this property is for you. Give us a call before we decide to keep it!
