Beyond the gates at the foot of Sun and Moon Mountain, a simpler world beckons. Once home to Georgia O'Keeffe, who found solace here, the home is filled with welcoming rooms providing unique spaces to unwind. A generous sunroom off the main kitchen makes for relaxing mornings. A formal dining nook looks over a grand living room with western views of the lawn. Step outside to the calm of the day on the grand portal or relax by the shade of the cottonwoods and tree swing on the back lawn. Pass the time in the custom greenhouse, tending to rare plants from around the world or find enlightenment under the Bodhi tree grown from seeds the Dali Lama gifted in 1991. In-town yet worlds away, stay connected to the vibrant culture of Santa Fe with downtown just minutes away or disconnect completely and allow yourself to surrender to slower days behind adobe walls. Feel the deep connection with the land as you stroll the walking trail while marveling at the wildlife crossing your path. Retreat functions have their own buildings, 11 unit guest quarters, executive meeting space, lodge entertaining and gathering venue. Sol y Sombra opens its arms to you, welcoming you with a warm embrace as it did its former guests. We invite you to experience this rare opportunity to own such a historic and luxurious treasure. Relax in the southwestern calm of belonging.
