La Mesita Ranch Estate

La Mesita Ranch is located in the heart of the Nambe’ Valley, just 15 minutes north of Santa Fe. This lush, quietly elegant private ranch was re-purchased by the original owners – the Pueblo of Pojoaque – and is now available to guests seeking a retreat, a getaway oasis or a celebration destination. Some have called La Mesita Ranch the "Southwestern Downton Abbey". This is because it is a large property with a long ownership history, graced with welcoming, relaxing and comfortable structures and furnishings, and stunning visual surroundings.

Traditional and formally appointed throughout, yet comfortable in its decor and modern in its accessibility, La Mesita Ranch offers guests a rare and beautiful setting to celebrate the special moments in life such as a wedding, anniversary, family gathering or reunion, or golf or girlfriend getaway. The ranch is also available as a unique site and special location for corporate meetings, the movie/film industry or simply, a quiet refuge from the stresses in life.

The gated property – roughly 144 acres in total - offers 5 residential structures (The Grande Hacienda, North Cottage, South Cottage Gatehouse Cottage, and Horseman's Cottage ); some of which date back to the 1930's. The property features indoor and outdoor equestrian facilities, a Large outdoor swimming pool and cabana, tennis court, duck pond, grassy pastures– and is surrounded by stunning native lands, badlands canyons, old Cottonwoods, and verdant Alfalfa fields.

In the eastern distance, views of the Sangre de Cristos are clear and unobstructed; and to the west, sunset vistas as far as the eye can see. There is a view at La Mesita that is like no other view in the Southwest!!

Set apart from the light pollution of the urban settings, starry night skies light up the ranch all year long.

Lovingly and carefully maintained for decades, yet recently updated and modernized, the Pueblo of Pojoaque (a Native American Indian Tribe) desires to share this rare , extraordinary, and distinctive property with others who will appreciate its beauty, its tradition, its activity and its solitude. La Mesita Ranch is located on sovereign tribal land.
This property was never open or available to the public until very recently.
The Heiress that most recently lived behind the gates insisted upon the full confidentiality of all of the staff that worked on the Ranch
No one in the area knew what was behind the :Gates of La Mesita".

It is just recently that the Ranch has been open to to receive, and to host guests.

There is truly no place more spectacular in the Southwest than La Mesita .Many people call it the "Downton Abbey" of the Southwest, because it is just so amazingly Grand.

You will know why the Ranch has remained such a mystery when you arrive to stay with us.
