Infrastructure upgrades have already been completed, including a roof replacement in 2024, a brand new septic system, Galisteo community water plus a private well.

Set amid the wide-open beauty of Galisteo, this gated 50-acre compound offers a rare combination of privacy, protected views, equestrian freedom, and an authentic connection to the Northern New Mexico landscape. Comprising two legal lots, the property overlooks the Galisteo Basin and neighboring Cerro Pelon Ranch, with dramatic skies, sweeping horizons, and remarkable tranquility in every direction. An adjoining 20-acre parcel is also available separately, creating the opportunity to assemble an extraordinary 70-acre holding. Warm and inviting, the Northern New Mexican main residence features traditional plaster walls, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and a commanding oversized kiva fireplace that anchors the living space. Expansive brick portals extend the living spaces outdoors, where a hot tub and covered dining area provide the perfect setting for sunrise coffee, relaxed gatherings, and evenings beneath Galisteo’s brilliant night sky. A detached guest casita and separate studio offer flexible accommodations for family and friends, artist or writing studios, or quiet workspaces surrounded by nature. The land is thoughtfully arranged for horses, with substantial fenced grazing divided among four interconnected pastures, three run-in shelters, enclosed hay storage, and direct access to miles of riding trails. With no legal restriction on the number of horses, the property is especially well suited to those seeking generous turnout and a practical, manageable ranch setup. Peaceful and private yet rich with possibility, this distinctive property invites a life shaped by open land, creative pursuits, horses, and the incomparable beauty of the high desert.
Built in the 1880s along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe line, this building first served as the Santa Fe Railroad Station and, after 1908, housed railroad crews in Lamy. In 1974, it was lifted from its foundation and moved to 5.93 acres in the Galisteo Basin, where it was given a second act. The setting cannot be manufactured. Neighbors are barely visible. Cerro Pelon Ranch runs 15,000+ acres to the south and west; conservation easements hold sixteen acres to the north; Singleton Ranch stretches ten thousand more east. Views run a full 360 degrees from every room. This property is outside the Village of Galisteo, answering only to County code. Taken to its bones in 2019: original redwood framing, wood floors, and beams stayed; wiring, plumbing, well, and septic were replaced. Corrugated Galvalume wraps the original redwood siding, and the original Gothic Arch tile roof remains overhead. Industrial farmhouse vibes give this home a comfortable but contemporary feel. The main house is 2,311 sq ft on one level, with two bedrooms and 1 full and 1 three-quarter bath; the flex space is being used as an office. A patio greets you on the east; the west portal is where the sunsets happen. A 2023–24 expansion added a dressing room and a den off the primary that is stubbed for gas if you want to add a fireplace. The detached 880 sq ft guest house, dubbed the View Shed, is one bedroom, one three-quarter bath, with westward views. The final building is 1,749 sq ft of heated space, featuring a gallery below with two studios above. This building also has insulated art storage, a work sink, small gym space, an oversized garage, and an entertaining courtyard that can be wired for string lights. There is also a 2nd-floor, west-facing view deck. This home is on a private well with cistern backup. Most spaces are heated and cooled by ductless mini-splits; there are underground utilities, a new septic with additional space if needed, 2 large exterior storage areas, and a 2024 buried propane tank. Horses allowed.
Beautiful home and guest house on eleven acres in the Galisteo basin offers panoramic views of the Ortiz mountains and the Cerro Pelon. The residence features a large living room with tall ceilings of vigas and herring-bone cedar latillas, plaster walls, wood floors, and lots of window looking out to the picturesque scenery. It’s built in open concept with the dining area and kitchen, and it has access to a big portal and deck with a fireplace, creating enjoyable outdoor living space with great views. The floorplan also consists of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an office or den. There’s a 200 square foot workshop/studio or storage room attached to the finished two-car garage. A separate and lovely two-bedroom guest house is fully functional and has a sizeable portal in front and another portal off one of the bedrooms, both with wonderful vistas. All just a short drive to shopping and services in the Eldorado area and not much further to Santa Fe. Fabulous northern New Mexico country living!
Something Old. Something New. Rare Commercial Opportunity. An exceptional and singular compound in the heart of historic Galisteo, this remarkable property weaves together centuries of heritage with thoughtful modern design. Dating to the 1800s, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath double-adobe Main House once housed the beloved La Mancha Restaurant (1959–1971), where the Ortiz family’s New Mexican cuisine earned widespread acclaim. Tastefully renovated in 2012, the Main House features new brick floors, interior plaster walls, updated kitchen and baths, added skylights, while honoring the home’s original character, authenticity, and soul. Complementing the historic residence is a striking studio/gallery building originally designed by award-winning architect Beverly Spears and constructed in 1995 using Rastra construction for gallerist Linda Durham.
