La Fragua Farm

Hosted by Nazca W.
We are located along Highway 3 off of 1-25 on one of the oldest consistently farmed regions in the United States. Many of our neighbors also homestead. Our house is over 100 years old and was once used to make and sell bootleg liquor. Some of the owners have been contract farm laborers who would come back home on the off season to put more money and love into the house, as well as artists. When we discovered and fell in love with this area, the house was in need of complete repair and the property was overgrown and hadn't been used in 10 years. Over the course of the past 6 years, we have renovated the house, casita campers and WWOOFers stay in and are well on the road to being self-sufficient through farming only this small 1/2 acre plot of land. The area behind our property is open space, part of it is old Spanish land grant that was given to the founding families to farm in most cases they dry-farmed beans and then moved to other parts of the valley closer to the river to farm other times of the year. When we signed our sale documents there was still an original seal of Queen Isabella of Spain!

A great host and a great cabin
We really had a wonderful time. As soon as we arrived, Nazca made sure we were nice and confortable. We enjoyed a great morning walk with her. She is such an interesting and kind person and we would recommend this listing for anyone who wants a small break from camping, enjoy a real bed and some great company if they wish. The cabin is clean and quiet (except for the rooster in the morning, but that is part of the farm experience). If you have a full day around their farm you should definitely go for a hike since the landscape is amazing. The cabin was fairly easy to find and the host is very easy to contact.

Cute little cabin on a farm!
Nazca and Phil's property is awesome! The cabin sits right in between their farm land and their home. Nazca and Phil are super friendly and inviting. They're place is clean and cozy. There are so many places around the area to explore. Villanueva State Park is just a few miles away and there is a beautiful river right next to their property where you can swim and fish. I enjoyed my visit at La Fragua and highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area and looking for a more off-grid experience!
