In the last few months, the world has changed dramatically. With
increasing uncertainty and a lack of predictability, one thing many are
starting to realize more than ever is the value of having a safe place to
go. A place that is off the grid and away from people but close to the
sustaining force of nature.
Whether it is escaping the scourge of an outbreak or simply getting
away from the noise once the world starts to hum again, those who
adapt the quickest to the changes presented to us will be best
positioned to help themselves and our world.
Perhaps one of the most strategic ways one can exist in light of these
new realities is to get close to the land.
“THE LAND” is a private 43 acre reserve in the Land of Enchantment
(also known as New Mexico) that backs up to 1.5 million acres of
National Forest.
Hosting 5 livable boutique high-design modern vernacular Adobe
homes that overlook the famed Cerro Pedernal. This is a place that
cultivates creativity and innovation, contemplation and expansion,
healing and wellness and, of course, safety and seclusion.
Welcome to THE LAND. 5

MORE ABOUT THE LAND
THE LAND is a private 43 acre
property nestled in a mountain
valley near Abiquiu, in northern
New Mexico. The land sits tucked
between the famous Cerro
Pedernal mountain and Santa Fe
National Forest, and features epic
views of both mountains and
plains. It is an event space
(retreats, reunions, workshops,
etc) and a vacation rental property.
There are 5 houses, a large
finished barn, horse stables, a
greenhouse, an orchard, and a
yoga platform.
The property is also known as “La
Cienegita”, or “The Little Swamp”.
In many places this might bear a
negative connotation, but in the
high desert of New Mexico it’s a
compliment. Polvadera Creek runs
through the property, and off it an
acequia (irrigation ditch) fed by
natural springs boiling up from
mountain aquifers keeps the flora
green for most of the year. There
are fruit trees throughout the
property, as well as beautiful
native wildflowers.
Animal life on the property is
vibrant. Beavers, Black Bears,
Bullfrogs, Mountain Lions,
Hummingbirds, Coyotes...to name
a few of our neighbors and
visitors. You can fish for Brook
Trout in the creek during certain
seasons.
Moonglades has seemingly endless
potential. As new owners we have
many dreams for the property.
Some - beekeeping, hammocks
sprinkled everywhere - are well
underway; others - bocce court,
fields of lavender, glamping, being
a premier yoga/meditation/art
retreat destination - are on the
horizon.

LOCATION
THE LAND is in beautiful and enchanted Northern New
Mexico. It’s a little over an hour to Santa Fe, an hour
and a half to Taos, two hours to Albuquerque and 5
hours to Telluride, Colorado.
As close as it is to all those amazing places, it lives in
its own private secluded valley. By design, The Land is
just far away enough from everything to feel safe,
secure and untouched. Sitting on the deck of the main
house ‘Papelitos’ at sunset, one cannot see another
house as far as the eye can see.
But drive an hour south and find yourself in the baked
goods section of Whole Foods.
The Land is also 10 minutes away from Lake Abiquiu
which provides swimming, camping, water skiing and
wake boarding and a seemingly unlimited source of
water.

CLIMATE
New Mexico is 2nd only to Arizona in days of sunshine
per year. The climate is dry and extreme weather
conditions are rare.
In Northern New Mexico, the elevation rises steadily
from around 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in Santa Fe and
northward. Summers are warm (low 80s°F) and very
pleasant, while winters get quite cold (low 40s°F) and
see plenty of snow in the mountains. Most of the
precipitation falls in the late summer, but overall
northern New Mexico is known for its amazing
weather.
New Mexico has 3 topographic zones. The Rocky
Mountain zone extends through the north central
section of New Mexico. The plains extend from the
eastern border west to the first range of the mountains
that extends from the Sangre de Cristos south to the
Guadalupe Mountains. The intermountain plateau
includes the remainder of the state.
THE LAND meets at the intersection of these three
topographical zones forming an intersectional visual
unification of the land.
It is the 5th largest state in the union. The diverse
landscape includes deeply forested mountains to the
vast desert of White Sands National Monument. In
fact, 6 of the 7 life zones found in the world exist in
New Mexico. These life zones are classified by
vegetation types and vary by altitude and orientation
to the sun.

SUSTAINABILITY
THE LAND will implement first in class sustainability
practices to ensure this sacred land is held with trust
and humility.
All of the buildings are made of the earth using
traditional Adobe techniques, which provide passive
insulation, maintaining cool in the day and retaining
heat for the night. Additionally, we will:
• Use eco-friendly building materials for all future
structures
• Maximize the use of local building materials and
set distance limits on freighted materials
• Eat locally and apply slow-food principles to the
dining experiences and access for our guests
• Efficient use of walls and windows to lower indoor
temperature in the summer and minimize energy
consumption in the winter
• Implement strict waste management protocols,
composting and ongoing monitoring of residual
water treatment.

INTENTION
THE LAND is sacred. It has been here since time
began. Inhabited by Native Americans for many
thousands of years before European exploration, it is
home to part of the Navajo Nation, the Hopi, 19
federally recognized Pueblo communities of Puebloan
peoples, and three different federally recognized
Apache tribes. In prehistoric times, the area was
home to Ancestral Puebloans, Mogollon, and the
modern extant Comanche and Utes inhabited this
land.
It was colonized by the Spanish in 1598 as part of the
Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain. In 1563, it
was named Nuevo México after the Aztec Valley of
Mexico by Spanish settlers, more than 250 years
before the establishment and naming of the presentday
country of Mexico
The largest Hispanic and Latino groups represented
include the Hispanos of New Mexico, Chicanos, and
Mexicans. It’s surrounded by Ghost Towns that used
to be wild western towns situated on the railroads.
These indigenous, Hispanic, Mexican, Latin, and
American frontier roots are reflected in the
eponymous New Mexican cuisine and the New Mexico
music genre.
THE LAND will be held with deep reverence to the
historical roots and previous inhabitants of the land.
It will be used to participate with the surrounding
Native communities and continue to bring healing
and restorative justice to our nation and be a
powerful force for conciliation and the protection of
people and planet as a whole.
