Which New Mexico location became Georgia O'Keeffe's home near Abiquiu?

The story behind the answer

Ghost Ranch became one of Georgia O'Keeffe's homes near Abiquiu, New Mexico.

O'Keeffe began visiting Ghost Ranch in the late 1920s and was captivated by its cliffs, arroyos, ranch buildings, and expansive views. She later maintained a house there and used the surrounding landscape as a recurring subject.

Ghost Ranch is a retreat and education center in northern New Mexico, associated with the reddish cliffs of the Piedra Lumbre basin. O'Keeffe often painted selected fragments of the landscape rather than attempting straightforward panoramic views.

Her Ghost Ranch residence differed from her Abiquiu house, which she acquired later and restored as a permanent home. Both places are important to understanding her New Mexico work, so references to her “New Mexico house” can be ambiguous unless the location is named.
