The space
The Tree Home is a design-rich adobe nestled beneath apricot trees in its own quiet fold of the valley—a favorite among families and small groups seeking both comfort and connection.
Sunlight pours into the living room through a wall of windows, illuminating custom finishes: diamond plaster walls, vintage textiles, natural materials, and the organic warmth of hand-selected furnishings. The heart of the home is its open-plan living and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning stove, a traditional kiva fireplace, and a large family table—ideal for shared meals, games, or slow mornings.
The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed and includes:
4-burner stove with oven
Vitamix blender
Coffee maker, kettle & toaster
Food processor
Cast iron skillet & full cookware set
Fully stocked dishware, glassware, mugs, and wine glasses
Coffee, tea, olive oil, salt, pepper, and essential cooking spices
The home has two bathrooms. One features a deep soaking tub for long, restorative baths. The second offers a shower for refreshing the body and quieting the mind.
Step outside to a generous terrace with a BBQ grill and outdoor dining area beneath the trees. A hammock sways nearby, along with a swing and a beautifully crafted, custom-built treehouse that offers a special place for children to dream and play. This home balances thoughtful interior design with outdoor presence—set against the vast skies and quiet grandeur of the northern New Mexico landscape.
Tree Home is one of six custom adobe structures on THE LAND—a 43-acre retreat sanctuary bordered by 1.5 million acres of national forest. A year-round creek flows gently through the property, bringing life, sound, and occasional beaver sightings. The birdlife here is astonishing—an ever-shifting chorus and a delight for birdwatchers and casual observers alike. Abundant is the sound of nature: rustling leaves, birdsong, flowing water, and deep stillness.
In line with our commitment to regenerative living, the home has no air conditioning—we rely on adobe’s natural thermal regulation for perfect climate control. We maintain a strictly pesticide-free property to protect the delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. By choosing to stay here, you are invited to experiment with a slower, more conscious way of living—one that puts the planet and the animals of this Earth first.

Guest access
As a guest of Tree Home, you’ll have full access to the 43-acre sanctuary known as THE LAND—a privately held expanse of high desert beauty, surrounded by 1.5 million acres of protected national forest. This rare setting offers uninterrupted vistas, deep silence, and a powerful sense of space and stillness.

Wander freely throughout the property, where fruit trees offer seasonal gifts of apricots, apples, pears, and plums—yours to pluck straight from the branches when in season. Open any gate and step directly into the national forest for hiking, nature walks, or truly unparalleled mountain biking. Enjoy wide-open trails and off-trail riding through rugged terrain, all without another soul in sight.

Sit quietly by the acequia, listen to the year-round creek as it winds through the valley, or watch for beavers at dusk. Children can safely explore while you rest, reconnect, or simply breathe more deeply.

Shared amenities include:
- Two open-air yoga/viewing decks, ideal for movement, meditation, or stargazing beneath some of the clearest night skies in North America
- The Fire View, a raised stone platform with unobstructed views of the Pedernal, featuring a wood-burning fire pit and grill for gathering, storytelling, and open-flame cooking
- Access to Beaver Creek
- Access to the Tsiping Ruins trailhead
- Private entry into the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest

Whether you’re here to explore, create, connect, or simply be, THE LAND offers a quiet invitation to return to what matters—land, light, sky, and soul.

Other things to note
The Land draws its water from a deep well that taps directly into an underground aquifer. The result is clean, naturally filtered water—fresh from the earth and free of chemicals.
You may encounter our friendly property cats as they wander the grounds or rest near the homes.
We charge a $30 pet fee per pet, with a maximum of three pets per home. For bookings with three dogs, an additional $50 cleaning fee applies.
To support both work and relaxation, we’ve installed high-speed fiber internet throughout The Land.
Please note that The Land is located in rural New Mexico, surrounded by pristine wilderness. As part of this vibrant ecosystem, it’s common to see deer, foxes, elk, and a wide variety of birds. Though rare, bears and mountain lions may occasionally pass through. These sightings are typically at a distance and part of the quiet magic of life in the high desert. We encourage guests to enjoy the natural surroundings with curiosity and care.

Where I went to school: Steamboat Springs
My work: HUMAN
My name is Jonathan and I am a filmmaker who founded the storytelling platform and agency called HUMAN which is based in New York. Maya is an Organic Form Sculpture who created the brand MAYA SAVAGE based in Mexico City. Prior to COVID, we split our time between NY and Mexico City but then found ourselves leaving the cities just before the lockdowns to get a bit further from people and a lot closer to nature. We arrived at at this uniquely stunning property as Airbnb guests and fell absolutely in love with it. To our surprise, it was for sale. So we bought it and here we are —the Airbnb guests that never left. And now feel so honored to have this land and be your hosts. We named the property THE LAND and feel a deep responsibility to be stewards of this place and extend the same magic and richness in our slice of the earth that first captured us to all who come. As you visit, you become a steward of the land as well. We are working hard to to nurture the amazing orchards here, restore the soil and bring aliveness. Welcome to THE LAND.
