In which U.S. state is Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch landscape home?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch landscape home is in New Mexico.

Ghost Ranch is a dramatic area near Abiquiu, north of Santa Fe, known for colorful cliffs, mesas, and broad desert views. O'Keeffe first visited New Mexico in 1929 and repeatedly returned to paint its terrain, bones, churches, and distinctive architectural forms.

She rented a house at Ghost Ranch for many years and later owned a home in the nearby village of Abiquiu. The landscape became one of the defining subjects of her mature work, including paintings of the Pedernal, a mountain she famously described as belonging to her.

Ghost Ranch is sometimes confused with Abiquiu itself. They are nearby but distinct places. Ghost Ranch is a retreat and education center in a larger landscape, while Abiquiu is the village where O'Keeffe maintained another important residence.
