Welcome to Corrales, New Mexico! My wife and I are proud to call this charming village home. We’re deeply rooted in the rhythms of this special place, where life moves a bit slower, and nature is always just a step away. We have a passion for the outdoors, adventure, and the incredible beauty of the Jemez Mountains. As longtime locals, we know all the best spots, from the peaceful trails of the Corrales Bosque Preserve to the quiet corners of the village where the sandhill cranes gather in the fall. We love connecting with visitors and helping them experience the authentic magic of Corrales—from its vibrant arts scene to the warmth of its community. Whether you're here to explore, relax, or just get away from it all, we’re here to ensure you feel at home in this beautiful corner of New Mexico. El Ranchito Alegre is more than just a place to stay—it’s a retreat designed to help you settle in and truly live. Situated on a full acre in the heart of Corrales, this home offers a rare combination of Southwestern charm and modern comfort. Large windows frame breathtaking views, a fully equipped kitchen invites culinary creativity, and the fireplace is perfect for cozy evenings in. What sets it apart is the feeling it gives—calm, inspired, and connected. Mornings might bring the soft coo of doves or a visit from a family of wild quail. Evenings are for stargazing or sharing stories around the fireplace. Whether you’re here to work remotely, transition between homes, or just escape for a while, this space adapts to your rhythm. Plus, we’ve designed it with longer stays in mind—spacious, well-stocked, and thoughtfully arranged to feel like a true home-away-from-home.

Corrales is a rare gem—tucked between the Rio Grande and the Sandia Mountains, yet just minutes from Albuquerque’s heart. We were drawn to its blend of wide-open skies, artistic spirit, and strong sense of community. There’s something timeless about life here. Neighbors wave from horseback, farm stands brim with fresh produce, and hot air balloons drift overhead in the early morning light. We especially love how peaceful and grounded it feels. Whether you're walking through the cottonwoods of the Corrales Bosque Preserve or sipping wine at a local vineyard, the pace of life slows down just enough to let you breathe and reconnect. It’s a place where you can be close to everything—but still feel a million miles away.
