The Land:

The Double V Ranch is well suited for a cow/calf or yearling operation, offering a diverse

and productive landscape characterized by gently rolling hills and side slopes that drain

naturally into multiple draws and expansive low-lying bottomlands. The ranch is able to

support approximately 1,200 head of cattle year round. Elevations range from

approximately 3,800 feet in the flats to over 4,250 feet across the upland country, creating

varied grazing conditions and natural pasture rotation. The ranch supports a healthy mix of

native grasses, with the most productive stands found in the bottomlands. Low bush

mesquite is prevalent throughout much of the property, while shin oak is common in the

sandier soils.

The Surface Water:

Water is a major strength of the Double V Ranch, highlighted by an extensive three-creek

system consisting of Conejo Creek, Arroyo Mora, and Arroyo Arana, all of which flow into

the Pecos River that also runs through the property. In total, the ranch boasts over 25 miles

of creek frontage with numerous deep water pockets, many of which hold water year-

round under normal conditions. Approximately one mile of Pecos River frontage further

enhances the ranch's water resources.

The Supplemental Water:

The ranch is also enhanced by an estimated 10 to 15 naturally flowing springs distributed

throughout the pastures, providing reliable water coverage across the operation. In

addition to surface water, the property is well improved with multiple groundwater

sources, including eight electric wells, three solar wells, and one windmill well currently in

operation, along with additional solar and windmill wells under repair.

The Operational Improvements:

The working improvements include a large metal hay shed, multiple equipment barns, and

usable outbuildings. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced into 18 pastures, with much of

the fencing in good overall condition. Livestock infrastructure includes a large set of

working pens equipped with scales, as well as several smaller sets of pens strategically

located across the property, allowing for efficient management.

The Other Improvements:

The Double V Ranch is well improved with assets that support both day-to-day ranch

operations and guest accommodations. Improvements include a well-maintained

foreman's residence featuring four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, along with

two guest houses offering one bedroom/one bathroom and three bedrooms/two

bathrooms. An additional historic saloon building provides two more bedrooms and a

bathroom, adding flexibility for housing or ranch use.

The Location:

The Double V Ranch is strategically located in De Baca County, New Mexico,

approximately 42 miles north of Roswell, providing a balance of rural seclusion and access

to regional services. The property benefits from exceptional accessibility with

approximately 11 miles of paved frontage along NM State Highway 20, complemented by

an additional 10 miles of county road frontage. This extensive road frontage allows for

excellent controlled access, operational flexibility, and long-term value. Roswell serves as

the primary regional hub, offering commercial services, higher education, air service, and

industrial infrastructure, while the nearby agricultural community of Fort Sumner provides

a convenient local trading center and support services for area ranchers.

The Wildlife:

The Double V Ranch supports a variety of wildlife, including pronghorn antelope, mule

deer, and quail, with seasonal waterfowl utilizing the creeks and Pecos River corridor. The

combination of native forage, reliable water, and expansive habitat provides consistent

recreational hunting opportunities across the property.
