Rancho San Ignacio sits at the base of Hermit’s Peak in northern New Mexico, where a compound of three adobe buildings, each more than 100 years old, looks up at the mountain. Richard Pritzlaff bought the ranch in 1935 and made it the headquarters of his Arabian horse breeding program and his art collection, and Georgia O’Keeffe was among the artists who visited.
The 4,377± square foot hacienda, a 1,690± square foot guest house and a 1,286± square foot bunkhouse were extensively renovated in 2005. The bunkhouse walls carry murals painted in the 1940s by Native American artist Ma Pe Wi, restored in 2008. Three old wooden barns, a large shop and a carport complete the compound.
The 2,039± deeded acres include 1.7± miles of the Sapello River with brown trout, 0.8± miles of the Rito Colorado, 103± irrigated acres with pre-1907 water rights, two wells and a 42± acre inholding inside the Santa Fe National Forest. Elk, mule deer and black bear live on the ranch.
