Overview
Expansive New Mexico Ranch Property
Rancho El Patrón encompasses 1,316 acres of varied northern New Mexico terrain, combining elevation, expansive views, and a strong sense of scale. The ranch enjoys views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Tecolote Creek, Hermit’s Peak, Starvation Peak, and portions of the historic Old Santa Fe Trail. It is located 10 miles from Interstate 25, 20 minutes from Las Vegas, New Mexico, and one hour from Santa Fe. The topography includes rolling hills, mesas, piñon and juniper woodland, arroyos, and rock outcroppings. Elevations range from approximately 5,800 to 6,300 feet. The property has been held as a private family ranch for many years and includes approximately one mile of frontage along U.S. Highway 84. Approximately two miles of water pipelines and underground electric extend along interior roads, serving seven potential building sites throughout the ranch. The ranch is divided into three legal parcels. Improvements include a furnished 2016 Clayton manufactured home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering approximately 1,475 square feet of living space. The residence has central heat, a wood-burning stove, and window-unit heating and cooling. There are three covered porches and a two-car carport. Water resources include two wells, five dirt tanks, three drinkers, and an underground water distribution system. Cattle handling facilities include pens and a loading chute. There is also an additional 4-car carport/workshop and a single carport. Located within New Mexico Game Management Unit 43, the ranch supports wildlife including elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and mountain lion. The ranch qualifies for unlimited landowner elk tags and over-the counter landowner deer hunting. It is appropriate for continued ranch use, a private holding, or a long-term land strategy aligned with development or conservation goals.
