Room to write. Room to play.
Come alone to finish a record, bring a co-writer, or bring the whole band. Six homes on 43 private acres beneath Pedernal, a studio room in the Barn for rehearsal, and nights quiet enough to hear what you are writing.
For songwriters, composers and producers working alone or in pairs.
TEA and SKY are made for one or two people: a place to work, a view of Pedernal and nobody asking for anything. Bring a guitar, a keyboard or a laptop rig and write all day. ORCHARD and TREE have room for a collaborator or a partner.
BARN House, with the studio room included.
Five bedrooms under cathedral timber ceilings, a full kitchen, a 20-person table and a big wood stove for winter. The studio room is yours for the whole stay: rehearse at noon, write at midnight, leave the gear set up.
A seven-night stay starts at $4,900 before taxes and fees. Rates change with season.
A dedicated room inside the Barn for rehearsal and writing, included with every Barn stay.
Every stay is a whole private house, from a one-bedroom adobe to the five-bedroom Barn.
Cook when you want to, eat when you get hungry, keep working.
A stone fire circle facing Pedernal for acoustic nights and the songs that show up after dark.
High-speed internet for sending stems, sessions with remote collaborators and late uploads.
Remote valley, dark skies, no through traffic. The loudest thing at night is the creek.
The LAND is a place to write and rehearse, not a commercial recording studio. There is no engineer or control room on site. Bring your instruments and any recording rig you like; many artists capture demos here. Tell us your setup and we will help you plan. Sound guidelines are shared before arrival.

Yes. January and February are quiet months: cold, bright days, the wood stove going, and the clearest night skies of the year. Snow is possible, and we send road notes before you come.
The Barn is set apart and the valley is remote. We share simple sound guidelines before arrival so everyone on the LAND has a good week.
Plan to bring your own instruments and amps. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what is possible.
About 1 hour 15 minutes from Santa Fe, with the last stretch on dirt county roads. We send directions and road notes before you come.
Send your dates, who is coming, what you play and what you hope to leave with. The LAND team will reply within a few days with availability and a full quote.
