The Vaughan River Ranch is a scenic, live water ranch that lies along both sides of the Pecos River south of Ft. Sumner, New Mexico. The ranch has been in the same, long time ranching family for many years and they have been conscientious stewards of the land. Improvements include recent spraying of over 6,000 acres of mesquite, grubbing of other pastures, 13+ miles of water pipeline, good drinkers, well maintained fence, and 10 wells, 3 currently in use. Picturesque views accompany over a mile and a half of Pecos River as it runs through the northeast portion of the ranch. Access is very good as the property lies just east of NM HWY 20 and has lightly traveled county roads crossing the ranch.
This working cattle ranch has the added attraction of a mix of wildlife which includes mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, turkey, waterfowl, fish and others. Topography is gently rolling to level and the grass is very good with the pasture improvements that have been done. Grasses include grama, buffalo and some sacaton along the low areas of the river which also features large cottonwoods along the banks. Elevation ranges from 4,110 feet to 3,940 feet above sea level.
A caliche road off Hwy 20 leads to the headquarters which has multiple improvements. Located at the HQ are two good homes, an older home in need of repair and a standalone garage. Outbuildings include a couple of storage/working sheds, a storage container, livestock/horse shed, hay barn and another barn with nearby overhead feed bins and liquid supplement tanks.
