Chavez Canyon Ranch is a total of 28,700 acres, of which 26,540 acres are deeded, of highly diverse New Mexico landscape, located extraordinarily well less than 45 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and Santa Fe Municipal Airport. Just 35 miles southeast of Santa Fe off Highway 285, the ranch is a combination of well-maintained rangeland and enhanced wildlife habitat, presenting a rare opportunity to purchase a large acreage holding for the area. Nestled between the Sandia and Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range, every turn on the property offers a different view, from big sky bluffs across sprawling prairies to dense forests before New Mexicos notable grandiose sunsets. The land is everything New Mexico is famous for and offers a true variety of dramatic cliffs, deep canyons, numerous drainages, arroyos, mesas, prolific rock outcroppings, ancient petroglyphs, thick stands of healthy old growth ponderosa pines, juniper and pinons, and all interspersed by expansive meadows of native grasses. The primary feature of the property, serving as the southern boundary, is the stunning and iconic landmark, Caon Blanco. Several miles of the ranchs eastern and northern boundary is bordered by the 1.6 million-acre Santa Fe National Forest, helping to protect the ranch as a wildlife sanctuary for elk, mule deer, wild turkey, bear, mountain lions, and various small game and bird species. For over 30 years, the ownership group of the ranch has not allowed any hunting of large animal wildlife, allowing this property to become a legitimate wildlife haven. Additionally, several new dry land food plots have been developed in strategic locations throughout the property. The land is well watered via five high-yield livestock wells, numerous tactically placed water catchments, a newly developed natural spring, and an excellent water piping system supports up to 400 head of livestock. There are three homes, cabin, shop, barn, several pens, and working facilities for livestock handling. Several building sites dedicated for a primary residence have been identified and placed into locations affording only the finest expansive and panoramic views. Chavez Canyon ranch presents a highly unique opportunity to purchase a bifurcated combination agricultural and recreational ranch in very close proximity to New Mexicos most iconic destination location. Note: A substantial amount of additional and contiguous deeded land may be available for purchase.
