SANTA FE (AP) - The state Department of Cultural Affairs has agreed to buy the historic Los Luceros ranch near Alcalde for $2.5 million.
The agency said Thursday the ranch will be used as a cultural destination with interpretive exhibits, a center for film-making workshops and seminars, and agricultural and environmental studies programs.
The ranch includes 148 acres abutting the Rio Grande with irrigated pastures, fruit orchards and an 18th century Territorial-style adobe home.
The 5,700-square-foot home, which started out as a four-room structure in 1712, was renovated in 2004 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The property also includes a visitor center, director's residence, a small gallery, three other residences, an 18th century chapel and a historic jail.
