New Sky’s bones are those of an old settler’s homestead in the San Luis Valley that dates back to the early 1900’s. Nestled up against the Rio Grande National Forest, it is a high mountain desert oasis that holds the original dance hall of the county and a whole lot of history. New Sky Ranch is a wild, wild place. We are not only off grid, but also nestled in a large natural caldera (meaning a volcano that has collapsed on itself) and are right next to national forest. This means that we can experience all 4 seasons in a single day - having extreme winds and rain in one moment, and clear summer skies the next! We invite you to not only be prepared for this, but to lean into the experience as this unique high alpine environment can be one of the most inspiring and epic places on earth. We are currently fixing up what is already on the property for an eco-experiential retreat as well as a space for like minded artists to take refuge and create magic on the land. We currently have our workshop and studio space up and running as well as the first of several livable structures completed - an 100 year old rehabbed miners cabin using Hempcrete and other natural materials, complete with a communal outdoor kitchen. We also have begun hosting our first artist/maker residents who are using the shop space and land to bring their own creations to life. Over time, we have dreams of permaculture farming, eco building workshops, community collaboration, and the ability to host gatherings – however, we are committed to taking it all one step at a time and allowing only what is meant to be to unfold. For now it is simply our home, a maker space for art and experimental eco building, a gathering spot for friends and a quiet Hipcamp spot.

Site 2 - Campsites @ New Sky Ranch

We loved the privacy of the camp area we were in (shady grove) it's a good place to visit if you're wanting to really disconnect from reality and just be for a bit. Beautiful views and loved just being in nature, Gigi and Victor were super kind and inviting. We had to leave early because of a family emergency and they were super understanding and accommodating. I would totally recommend them!

Awesome place. Awesome people. Remote but easily accessible. Serene and quite. Again, the hosts are superb folks and the land and lodging/sites and amenities are great.

Magical Experience

This was the perfect stop on my way to Boulder. I camped in my car and loved waking up to the sun cresting the mountains. And you could see the Milky Way at night! The shared kitchen has every tool you need to make some delicious camp food. At night we made a fire and it was lovely to sit with the hosts and talk about everything and anything. They are lovely. I had mentioned I would love to create in the morning and Gigi left out some watercolors and paper for me. It was a beautiful experience to create under the trees. I will definitely be back!
