[ad_1]

A dynamic farm has landed on the real estate market near Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it’s a ginormous, rare opportunity to own something that no one else in the state owns.

It’s a Demeter-certified Biodynamic organic farm, and it’s the only one in the Land of Enchantment.

It’s listed for $16 million

“The Abiquiu Valley Farm, north of Santa Fe, is one of New Mexico’s most significant properties,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty says.

“With over 240 majestic acres along the banks of the Chama River consisting of a private riverfront bosque, fertile pastureland and natural ponds, this tranquil oasis has stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Pedernal that drew O’Keeffe to the Southwest.”

So what is a Demeter-certified Biodynamic organic farm?

It’s a property that grows organic produce certified by Demeter USA, the oldest ecological certification organization in the world, which was named after the Greek goddess of agriculture, the Demeter USA website says.

“(The Abiquiu Valley Farm) produces medicinal herbs, alfalfa, and other forage crops. The property benefits from solar power generation; geothermal radiant heating and cooling for all the residences; reverse-osmosis water filtration for the homes, the barns, and the paddocks; and water from wells, acequia irrigation rights, ponds, and the river,” the listing says.

Of course, there are other special aspects of the farm too — like the glitz of having actress Marsha Mason as a former owner.
