History
The Casa del Gavilan (House of the Hawk) is an adobe villa built in 1911 for Connecticut natives Jack and Gertrude Nairn, who purchased the land in 1910 from George Webster. In the early 1940s the residence was used briefly as the headquarters of the UU Bar Ranch, then owned by Oklahoma oil magnate Waite Phillips.
Today, the Casa del Gavilan is owned by the Gavilan Limited Liability Company, of which several members have ties with the adjacent Philmont Scout Ranch. The property was listed on the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
