What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico retreat near Abiquiu?

The story behind the answer

Ghost Ranch was Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico retreat near Abiquiu.

Ghost Ranch is a dramatic landscape in northern New Mexico, known for colorful cliffs, mesas, and broad desert views. O'Keeffe began visiting the area in the 1930s and used it as a setting for many paintings and drawings.

The ranch became one of the places most strongly associated with her New Mexico work. She painted its cliffs and surrounding formations repeatedly, often reducing the landscape to clear shapes and intense colors.

Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu House are related in O'Keeffe's biography but are not the same property. Ghost Ranch was her retreat and source of subjects, while Abiquiu House became her principal home and studio after its restoration.
