Spring water, creek water, beaver water.
A year-round creek, a string of beaver ponds and a 200-year-old acequia run through the LAND. In the high desert that makes this valley green, loud with birds, and cool on a summer afternoon.
A year-round creek that starts in the Santa Fe National Forest and runs about 14 miles to Cañones Creek, straight through the LAND. Cottonwoods, willows and the steady sound you fall asleep to.
Beaver families have turned the creek into a chain of ponds that clean the water, recharge the aquifer and bring back ducks, cranes and frogs. Come at dawn or dusk and listen for the tail slap.
A hand-dug irrigation channel dating to 1807, still carrying snowmelt and spring water through the orchard and fields. Part of a shared water tradition that is older than the state.
The water on the LAND comes from the mountains and the springs, and the tap water is spring water. Everything green here, from the orchard to the wetlands, depends on caring for it well.
Every home on the LAND opens onto the grounds, the water and the forest beyond. Browse all six in one place.
