Montoya Ranch, Historic ranch in Farisita, United States
The adobe ranch house features two-foot thick walls, a complete basement, sheep pens, irrigation ditches, and an underground ice storage facility.
The property earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, marking over 140 years of agricultural operations in Huerfano County.
Juliana and Victor Montoya established a sheep ranch in 1874, reflecting the influence of New Mexican settlers in the Huerfano valley region.
The ranch structure requires substantial renovation work, and visitors should contact local authorities before planning any exploration of the property.
This ranch house stands as the only building across New Mexico and Colorado that incorporates a full adobe basement in its construction.
