Martinez y Ewens Anasazi Ranch
The Martinez y Ewens Anasazi Ranch located on the High Road to Taos continues the Martinez family tradition.
The tradition of hospitality and the celebration of life in Northern New Mexico includes over 200 years of ranching in Peñasco, a neighboring town and 140 years of operating the Peñasco Fiesta. The ranch house is located on a mesa at 8,000 ft. below the 13,000 ft. Jicarita Peak. The peak's name in Tewa means "little bowl" for the volcano crater in the side of the mountain. The view from the ranch is sweeping: to the east, Jicarita peak; to the north, Taos; to the west, the Rio Grande Valley and the San Pedro Wilderness, 100 miles distant. The Carson National Forest borders the ranch on the south. Five acequias (water ditches) and one small creek pass through the land. The two acequias near the ranch house were built about 1836. The murmur of water can be heard from the house. Anasazi Ranch bed and breakfast inn offers semi-private baths, late afternoon snacks and a delicious northern New Mexico breakfast. You may roam the property and children may try for fish in the streams.
If you really want a 'remote' sort of experience you might turn to The Martinez y Ewens Anasazi Ranch which is 30-40 minutes from Taos, world renowned center of painting and crafts as well as the site of the Taos Pueblo, the oldest continuously lived in dwelling in North America. We are about an hour and forty minutes from Santa Fe, a fascinating city which is prominent in stories of the old west.
