Casita Mística – A Cosmic Adobe Retreat

Nestled in Nogal, NM, this historic adobe home was built using materials from Walker Army Air Force Base, where the 1947 Roswell UFO wreckage was taken. A UFO was witnessed here in 2000, adding to its mystery. With clear night skies, UFO lore, and stunning desert views, this secluded retreat blends history, mystery, and tranquility. Whether you’re here for stargazing, legend, or escape, Casita Mística is an experience like no other.

The space
🌌✨ Unveiling the Mystical Legacy of El Místico Ranch! 👽🏠

Did you know that Casita Mística, our charming adobe retreat at El Místico Ranch, is constructed using 95% materials salvaged from the historic Walker Army Air Force Base (WAAFB)?  This base, located near Roswell, New Mexico, is famously associated with the 1947 Roswell Incident, where a mysterious object—often referred to as a “flying saucer”—allegedly crashed, with debris and purported alien bodies reportedly taken to WAAFB for examination. 

By incorporating these materials into Casita Mística, we’ve imbued our property with a tangible connection to this enigmatic chapter of history. Staying here offers not just a serene escape but also a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the lore of one of the most intriguing UFO stories ever told.

Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or simply curious, El Místico Ranch provides a tranquil setting to ponder the mysteries of the universe. Who knows? Maybe during your stay, you’ll feel the echoes of history and become part of the legend yourself. 🌠🛸
