Why This Enchanting Desert Resort Should Be Your Next Destination

Hidden in the New Mexican desert is an oasis of art and history known as Ranco Alegre. This massive adobe complex is stunning rental property where animal hides, tribal items and early 19th-century artwork adorn the walls. It’s part museum, part luxury retreat and part Western time capsule. Here’s why you should consider checking it out.

More than a simple vacation rental, this place is basically a small Western town.

The sprawling Rancho Alegre estate was designed by William F. Tull, the artist responsible for designing some of the best-known adobe homes in the Southwest.

Spread over 190 acres of desert terrain, this place is packed to the gills with art and luxury.

The 11,000-square-foot main residence is the centerpiece, but there’s also a plaza ringed by a chapel, a cantina, a rose garden, a recording studio, a separate ranch house, an old Western general store and a traditional carriage house.

The ranch has room for 22 guests, making it perfect for everything from a bachelorette party to a family reunion in the desert.

Of course, it’s hard to ignore the massive infinity pool overlooking the Galisteo Mesa.

There are 13 bathrooms, all equipped with luxe touches like rainfall showers and Jacuzzis.

Priceless Native American artifacts, weaponry and clothing can be found in almost every corner of the estate.

The ranch is only 25 minutes southwest of Santa Fe, and the owner can arrange private group tours if you’re not looking to stay overnight.

A stay at Rancho Alegre should definitely be added to that travel bucket list.
