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.
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.
