When four-time Oscar-nominated Marsha Mason came
to Abiquiu, New Mexico years ago, the land had sat idle for many
years. As she nurtured it back to life, the land
nurtured her, and she created Rio Abajo Rio, her
certified organic medicinal herb farm, which yielded
Resting in the River Natural Products. Today, the
fertile soil produces medicinals and flowers – gifts
from the earth that heal and nourish.
This land is mystical as well as healing and is a safe
haven for the wildlife she loves. It captivates and
energizes, is full of rugged beauty and precious water.
Crystalline air and glorious light bring the colors of
nature and dwellings in sharp relief. New Mexico’s
voices echo from the past – Native American, Hispanic,
Anglo – and this land holds their stories. |

The name Rio Abajo Rio means River Beneath the River.
The land runs along a two-mile stretch of the Rio Chama
and also has ponds. In a state where water is precious
and scarce, abundant water rights are available
throughout the property’s 247 acres, ready to
accommodate a wealth of possibilities. There is also a
rainwater gathering system for the dwellings.
The views across the fields to the river and beyond are
both tranquil and exciting. The changes that Mother
Nature brings to the land and sky are a never-ending
entertainment to those who live here.
