Nan Ranch "old Gardener's Cottage" On Stunning Historic Mimbres Valley Estate
In the remote, serene Mimbres Valley in Southwestern New Mexico, NAN Ranch guests enjoy access to river, mountains, canyons and desert, thousands of acres and hundreds of miles of ranch roads from our rental housing at the historic headquarters. On a slow day, visitors might simply stay home with acres and acres of lawns, trees, gardens, mountain and valley views, sunny poolside garden or shady private spots and worlds of solitude.
This listing is for the small, charming cottage that once housed the estate's head gardener. The "Old Gardener's Cottage" is cozy and central to the headquarters, comfortable and well-appointed. Its single bedroom has one full-size bed, while the sitting room, which has a fold-out sofa, is open to the kitchen via a large service window and bar. An antique claw-foot tub with shower adds atmosphere to the bathroom, which was remodeled in 2016. Well behaved canine guests are welcome in the Cottage.
Other available options listed elsewhere in this website include
• 1912 Rancher's House with 1950s High-Style Western interior that accommodates 8-12 with 3 bedrooms, 2 sleeping porches, 2 baths, new gourmet kitchen, large porches, fountain patio, fireplace, and more.
• a pair of Patio Apartments adjacent to the Rancher's House that sleep up to 5 persons each;
• NAN Ranch Lodge, typically furnished to sleep 22 but cozy for any number. 3 Lounge areas, huge kitchen, group and private baths. Additional beds can be added.
• 2 Bunkhouse Cabins that sleep 4 each with an additional sleeping room for 2 that can be rented along with either Cabin;
• Rental guests may also park one RV or camping trailer nearby, though we do not offer hookups.
• For very large groups, combinations of rentals, and events, a consultation with the ranch owners is recommended.

About the host
Hosted by NAN Ranch Cattle Company, LLC
The Y-Bar NAN Ranch's owners are the Burford and Lang families, descendants of Bill and Clara Hinton, who operated the ranch from 1949 until their passing in the 1980s. Though we were raised away from the ranch and have worked "city" jobs, we call the ranch home, and want to share its wonders with our guests.
Family members are on hand to welcome and show you you around, to answer your questions, and to make sure you have what you need in this wonderful house.

Why they chose this property
No place rivals the Mimbres River Valley for light, atmosphere, a sense of peace, a thrill of adventure, a chance to challenge and discover oneself. In the special verdant spot where the NAN's homes and facilities lie, there is a comforting awareness of the blending of prehistory and history, of communities and individuals accustomed to both hard work and reliance on nature's abundance. The NAN Ranch's quiet, remote beauty is regenerative.
What makes this property unique
Whether you want quiet and solitude, a leisurely visit with nature, or rigorous hiking, trail running, or bicycling, your time at the Y-Bar NAN Ranch will be fulfilling. We can confidently say that there is no comparable property, anywhere, that is so open to guests' personal visions for a fulfilling holiday from the outside world. Public parks and preserves are full of other adventurers, but the NAN is yours to share with only a handful of others, and there's so much space and variety you need never see another guest unless you wish to. Just as important to most of our guests is that this historical working ranch is neither resort nor "dude ranch": we don't "entertain" you, schedule you, or crowd you. You design your experience.
Though you're in one version of heaven just staying at the NAN Ranch, you're also close enough to make day trips to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, Gila National Forest, City of Rocks State Park, Silver City for fine dining and fine art shopping, La Esperanza Vineyard just up the road for wine and sunsets, and other interesting and sometimes quirky corners of our neighborhood.
The Y-Bar NAN Ranch offers a variety of rentals for a almost any kind and size of group. Here, we have priced The Rancher's House only. See our other rental listings or for information on other options.
