Villa Philmonte, Mission Revival mansion in Cimarron, New Mexico, United States.

Villa Philmonte is a Mediterranean Revival house built in 1926 for oil magnate Waite Phillips on his Philmont ranch outside Cimarron, New Mexico. Layers of plaster give it an adobe-like look. It has a large courtyard with a central fountain, large columns, and numerous porticoes.

Waite Phillips, an Oklahoma oil magnate, built the villa in 1926 as the headquarters of his 300,000-acre Philmont cattle ranch. In 1938 he gave 35,857 acres to the Boy Scouts of America, and in 1941 he added the villa, 91,538 acres and Tulsa's Philtower office building. The Scouts have operated the property as Philmont Scout Ranch since then.

The residence displays European and American furnishings from different eras that visitors encounter while walking through the rooms. The collection reflects how wealthy ranch owners of that period lived and decorated their homes.

The residence can be visited only through guided tours organized via a museum registration system. Visitors should plan ahead, as it is available for tours only during certain seasons.

Waite Phillips added a small second-floor window after the house was finished so he could see a large rock formation on a nearby mountain; the rock was then named Window Rock. The window is easy to miss among the many porticoes and columns.
