34 Rincon Canada, Abiquiu, NM 87510

Property Description

Rincón Escondido ("Hidden Corner") is offered for the first time: a 39-acre private wilderness sanctuary in the foothills of Sierra Negra, at roughly 6,100 feet, with direct access to Carson National Forest. More than a home, it is the result of fourteen years of thoughtful ecological restoration, where rewilded meadows, pollinator gardens, and a tranquil pond have created a thriving high-desert landscape. Sustainability here is more than an idea; it is woven into the design of the property. The home is powered by a grid-tied 20.16 kW photovoltaic array with four Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries, solar-thermal hot water, passive solar design, and radiant in-floor heating and cooling for year-round comfort. A shared well serving only two parcels, paired with a professionally engineered reverse-osmosis filtration system, provides exceptional water quality for the home. Separately, an 8,500-gallon underground rainwater catchment system sustains the pond and surrounding landscape. Together, this infrastructure has been thoughtfully designed for the property's long-term sustainability. The setting is rare in its own right. Panoramic views take in Cerro Pedernal, Sierra Negra, and the Jémez Mountains in the heart of O'Keeffe Country, just minutes from Ghost Ranch, Abiquiú Lake, and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, yet only an hour from Santa Fe. Hike directly from the property into Carson National Forest, explore nearby trails, or enjoy some of the region's most spectacular night skies. The solitude here is real, and for many buyers it is the whole point. What makes Rincón Escondido especially rare is that the seclusion does not mean isolation. While the setting feels remarkably private, the property is part of La Cañada de Abiquiú, a small community of neighbors who share an appreciation for the landscape and way of life found here. The residence blends timeless Southwestern architecture with refined modern finishes. The 4,032 sq ft of built space includes a 3,059 sq ft home plus a heated garage and storage. Hand-carved wood doors, artisan detailing, and locally sourced Nambé brick floors run throughout, while every room is designed to maximize natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. A chef's kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf oven, and induction cooktop, while the spa-inspired primary suite offers a deep soaking tub and walk-in shower. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, creative refuge, or self-sufficient homestead, Rincón Escondido is more than a home—it is a place to live in direct connection with the land.
