In New Mexico, property with live water, particularly a significant river, is very valuable and challenging to find rare, in fact. The centerpiece of the Dos Caballos Ranch is the Canadian River, which runs for about five miles through the middle of this 10,000 acre property. The ranch encompasses both banks of the river, ensuring private access. Over thousands of years, the river has cut a spectacular 500footdeep canyon with immense stone cliffs that rise dramatically from the beautiful river bottom.
Dos Caballos consists of 6,980 deeded acres with an additional 3,110 acres of state leased land. The terrain is diverse and includes several fingerlike canyons, valleys, arroyos, mesas, and plateaus. Vegetation on the property is typical of New Mexico with oldgrowth cottonwoods, willows, elm, boxwoods, pinion, oak brush, ponderosa pines, and several species of native grasses, including buf...

Vegetation on the property is typical of New Mexico with oldgrowth cottonwoods, willows, elm, boxwoods, pinion, oak brush, ponderosa pines, and several species of native grasses, including buffalo, blue stem, and grama. The land is well watered with numerous natural catchments, drainages, and dirt tanks that support both wildlife and livestock. Located in Game Management Unit 47, the ranch is home to elk, deer, bear, Barbary sheep, black bear, pronghorn, mountain lion, bobcats, ringtail cats, Merriams turkey, and an array of birds and small game animals.
Situated perfectly atop a plateau, the primary residence overlooks the confluence of two vast canyons with a view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range to the west. The 3,800 sq. ft. home is elegant and blends classic New Mexican style with Mediterranean flair. Other improvements include a managers home, equipment shop, and horse barn. Dos Caballos Ranch is private, secluded, and exceptionally appealing with the Canadian River at its heart.
