#Patrick swayze memoires windows
Just open the windows and enjoy the cool summer air. The summers are pleasant and cool, and there is no air conditioning needed at the owner’s home. With nearly 300 days of sunshine, low humidity, and an actual four-season climate, the weather can be enjoyed during each distinct season. Owner entry to the headquarters is through a private electric gate just off of the highway. The ranch also enjoys access off almost a mile of paved State Road 263 on its south boundary. With over 1.5 miles of frontage on State Road 65 (the Gallinas Highway), the ranch is easily accessed year-round from downtown Las Vegas. The ranch is located in the mountain setting northwest of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and just over an hour from Santa Fe. Only minutes from downtown Las Vegas and only a little over an hour away from Santa Fe and Taos, the property is accessible by car, public airports in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, or by private aircraft at the Las Vegas Municipal Airport with its 8,200-foot, paved runway.
Besides the beautiful setting and improvements, its location near so many amenities, yet enjoying privacy and solitude, make this a truly unique property. Infrastructure on this ranch is in good condition with fences, watering systems, and pasture care evident throughout the property.
This home is constructed of solid rock walls and siding. The headquarters area is composed of a primary residence, guest house or manager’s home, and support structures.
The house still contains some of the original furnishings, saddles, and brochures that were used to advertise the dude ranch long ago. Built as a dude ranch over 100 years ago, the property took advantage of the gorgeous scenery to host “city-folks” that wanted to come relax, play, and breathe in the crisp, clean mountain air. The owner's home is unique in that the architecture of the home and site layout exemplifies Northern New Mexico's historical nature of the early 1900’s. A flock of geese can be spotted on the pond until called south for the winter. Wildlife is abundant and includes elk, deer, bear, lion, turkey, eagles, and many smaller mammals and birds. Other features include a lake reflecting surrounding cottonwood trees, rolling forested land with intermingled green meadows, along with southern foothills covered in piñon, juniper, gamble oak, fir and ponderosa pine dominating the landscape. This extraordinarily scenic and nicely improved property features over a mile of both sides of the Gallinas River frontage, including historic water rights from the river. With the rugged, shear rock face of Hermit's Peak towering over the ranch, spectacular views of the high mountains and the Peak are prominent. We are excited to represent Lisa in the sale of Rancho de Dias Alegres, a 7,261.4+/- deeded acre property located in the beautiful Gallinas River Drainage of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains west of Las Vegas, New Mexico. Lisa and Patrick spent many wonderful days enjoying their life together on this fabulous mountain ranch, but the time has come to say goodbye to this major part of Lisa’s life, leaving her with great memories of the past. Now, 23 years later, Lisa Swayze has made the difficult decision to sell this pristine property so that it can now be used and enjoyed by the new ownership. Middleton and Son represented the former owners in the sale of the Rancho de Dias Alegres Ranch to Patrick and Lisa Swayze. A New Mexico Premier Private Ranch Estate
