The casitas on Rancho del Viento are situated for privacy and full enjoyment of the 12.5 acres of the rancho, with access to the neighboring 4,000 acres of trails, arroyos, and open space.
We are Sharon and Clem, owners of Rancho del Viento since 2024. We moved here to replace the crowded mountains and highways of Colorado with the easy lifestyle and wide open skies and spaces of Northern New Mexico. Clem's great-uncle was a prominent citizen of Santa Fe many years ago, which forged our connection to this vibrant, international city.
We are passionate about each other, our family and friends, our rancho, our community, and hospitality. We love it best when laughter, food, outdoor adventures and stories fill the days and when all the beds are filled at night. You can find us on our rooftop deck many nights, watching the stars, planets and Milky Way emerge in the dark skies. We are up early to catch the sunrises, and stop everything to marvel at the sunsets. We feed many birds and watch for the ever-elusive coyotes to emerge from the arroyo. In 2025, we will be busy with landscaping projects, sowing sunflower seeds in our open space, building a chicken coop, and planning new outdoor spaces.
Rancho del Viento can be translated as "Ranch of the Wind" or "Ranch of Encouragement." Our guests don't want to leave the peace and tranquility of the rancho, and we don't either! If travel takes us from home, we feel a little lost being away and impatient to return. Find new spaces in yourself, as we did, in this land that never lost its way. Come for an unforgettable stay in the Land of Enchantment.
