DH Lawrence Ranch - The D. H. Lawrence Ranch,
as it is now known, was the home of the English novelist, D.
H. Lawrence for about two years in the 1920s. The 160-acre
property, originally named the Kiowa Ranch, is located
at 8,600 feet above sea level on Lobo Mountain near San Cristobal
in Taos
County, about twenty miles northwest of Taos,
New Mexico.
Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited New
Mexico in 1922 at the invitation of Mabel
Dodge Luhan, a wealthy New York society hostess and arts
patron who had taken up residence in Taos and had married Tony
Luhan, a native American from Taos
Pueblo, . Some evidence suggests that Lawrence and Freida
acquired the ranch during a return visit in 1924 in exchange
for the manuscript of one of Lawrence’s most well-known
novels, Sons
and Lovers.
