Location: 10 miles +/- West of Conchas Dam, NM on NM Hwy 104 thence north a

the south line of the ranch thence continuing

approx. 3 ¼ miles
up to the ranch headquarters.
This well improved New Mexico ranch is located just west of Conchas Dam, New Mexico just off of Highway 104 with an average elevation of 3,900 feet above sea level with mesas on the ranch at approximately 4,400 feet. Terrain on the ranch is mostly rolling with several wet weather creeks crossing the ranch, when full Conchas Lake backs up on to the ranch in the various draws and canyons. This type of terrain with mesas, small canyons and open, rolling terrain furnishes a good home for a cow with plenty of winter protection and the bonus of good hunting and recreation.
Predominate grasses on the ranch are Blue and Black Grama, Western Wheat Grass, Sacaton and Tabosa.
Trees found on the ranch are Cedar, Pinion Pine, and Mesquite with scattered Cholla which also provide winter protection and natural habitat for wild life.
Electricity for the headquarters is furnished by solar power with an enclosed building for the generator and batteries.
At the headquarters the main residence is a 3BR, 3 Bath home with a very attractive rock/stucco exterior, a fireplace and a well maintained front yard.
There is a nice shop/garage in close proximity to the main residence for enclosed parking and shop use.
As seen in the attached photographs, there are three additional homes of rock construction basically in good condition in various stages of reconstruction.
There is an excellent set of combination working/gathering pens of steel pipe construction at the headquarters with a covered working area and squeeze chute together with a saddle house/vet shack, a sheet metal livestock/horse barn and a three bin, 72,000 lb. overhead feed storage container in good condition.
The ranch headquarters and livestock watering on the ranch is furnished by seven domestic wells ranging from 120 to 210 feet deep, four being equipped with solar-powered submersible electric motors and pumps and three equipped with windmills. There are six earthen dams (dirt tank in Texas) located strategically throughout the six pastures on the ranch.
Fencing is basically five strands of barbed wire with a combination of steel and cedar post, much of which has been replaced in recent years.
This is a great place to enjoy the beauty of New Mexico coupled with ranching in a warm climate, hunting and recreation.
