hen 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. The land runs along a two-mile stretch of the Rio Chama. 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. The main house encircles a central courtyard and a fountain – a classic Argentinean estancia. It hugs the earth – a long, screened portal overlooking the fields and ponds, mountains and sky.
