Sundance Mountain Ranch is located in the southeastern portion of Bernalillo County, an area known for its dramatic mountain views, rich ranching heritage, and tranquil landscapes. The property enjoys excellent access with three entry points: a paved entrance along Sundance Kid Road and two additional access points on William Bonney Road, a maintained county road.

Land and Terrain

Spanning 491.10 contiguous deeded acres, Sundance Mountain Ranch features a highly diverse landscape ranging from gently rolling native grass meadows to rugged, tree-covered ridges with panoramic mountain views. Elevations vary from approximately 6,890 feet on the southeastern side to more than 7,240 feet along the higher ridgelines, offering varied scenery and ideal wildlife habitat.

The soils on the property consist primarily of Laporte-Rock outcrop-Escabosa complex and Silver and Witt soils, supporting native grasses, seasonal wildflowers, and a mix of piñon, juniper, cedar, and spruce. The land’s natural character and mix of terrain make it well-suited for livestock grazing, outdoor recreation, or future development.

Water and Improvements

The ranch includes a water well (currently unequipped) and an earthen stock tank, providing water potential for livestock and wildlife. Standard-height perimeter fencing—constructed with a mix of five-strand barbed wire and wire mesh—is in place and in good condition. There are no structural improvements on the property, leaving a blank slate for a custom ranch headquarters, residence, or other development.

Recreational and Ranching Potential

Sundance Mountain Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own significant acreage in a highly desirable and scenic part of New Mexico. Its blend of open pasture, wooded ridges, and natural draws creates outstanding potential for ranching, equestrian pursuits, hunting, hiking, or other outdoor recreation. With its size and location, the property could also serve as a private legacy ranch, a family retreat, or a long-term land investment.

The property is zoned A-2 Rural Agricultural, which allows residential and agricultural uses on large parcels. Electricity is available nearby, and the property’s size, access, and topography present a variety of development possibilities.
