Improved Residential Land for Sale in Abiquiu, New Mexico
126 A County Road 156, Abiquiu, NM 87510
Artist retreat in the heart of Abiqui400 sq ft of artistic intention set on 5.36 private acres with sweeping Sangre de Cristo views and expansive, uninterrupted landscape. This thoughtfully designed adobe studio, built in 1999 by Quentin Wilson and lovingly maintained by the original owners, offers a distinctive escape near the Carson National Forest, ideal for hiking and exploring the surrounding terrain. Interior features include hand-troweled Structo-Lite plaster walls, insulated windows, and a Firebird propane stove for heat, with ongoing exterior care to stucco, portal, and roof. The property includes a second flat, buildable site with equally compelling views for future expansion. Water is provided via a 1,600-gallon cistern system supplemented by rainwater collection and delivery, with seller noting the cistern has historically been replenished by rainfall events (buyer to verify capacity and usage); area well depths average approximately 400 feet (buyer to verify feasibility and costs). A walking labyrinth below the casita adds a thoughtful element to the land, reflecting the enduring inspiration drawn by artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and the broader Abiquiu creative community.
