Rancho Cañada, a 4,585 +/-acre*, national forest-caliber, northern New Mexico ranch, consists of three contiguous properties, each raw, wild, and rugged, yet pastoral, varying in elevation from about 8,000 to 10,300 feet, and dotted with ponderosa, aspens (the ranch is approximately 80% covered in timber), open meadows, a “jump-across” stream, springs, ponds, canyons, dramatic rock outcroppings, and lots of wildlife, especially elk, deer, wild turkey, and bear. Used sparingly over the past three-quarters of a century by a local New Mexico family only for some light summer grazing, fall elk and deer hunting for a lucky few, and some selective timber-cutting, these spectacular, unimproved, end-of-the-road mountain ranch parcels sit nestled in the Rincon Mountains 45 minutes southwest of Angel Fire, one hour southeast of Taos, and 45 minutes northwest of Las Vegas (NM).

Great conservation ...
