This expansive Eastern New Mexico ranch in Quay County encompasses approximately 5,149.60± deeded acres, complemented by an additional 160± acres of state lease, and is thoughtfully configured across two primary tracts along with a separate 480± acre parcel. The property is well-suited for both livestock operations and diversified agricultural use, offering a balanced combination of native rangeland and income-producing acreage.
Situated on NM-156 (a paved road), a significant highlight of the ranch is the 2,807.71± acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), generating an annual payment of $84,753 and providing both financial return and environmental benefit. Of the total CRP acres, 640.6± acres are classified as Grassland CRP enabling more frequent grazing.
The ranch is well improved for efficient cattle operations, which also allows for considerable depreciation for income tax purposes. Perimeter fencing is in good condition, with additional interior cross-fencing that allows for effective pasture rotation and management. Water resources are well established, with multiple wells (some wells are thought to be strong enough for potential irrigation with a pivot sprinkler at buyer's discretion) and strategically placed cattle drinkers servicing the property. Each tract is equipped with its own set of working pens, enhancing operational flexibility.
The headquarters serves as a central hub and is exceptionally well outfitted. Improvements include two residences, a hay barn/equipment shed, a quonset barn, multiple smaller barns and storage structures and three metal grain storage bins. Of particular note is the workshop facility, which is fully equipped with a custom furnace, one mobile gantry crane, one jib crane, an elevated overhead walkway, and a custom personnel lift - offering extensive capability for equipment maintenance and fabrication.
Additional headquarters features include a small airplane hangar accompanied by a registered airstrip with two grass runways, providing convenient private air access. The main set of working pens at headquarters is highly functional and designed for efficiency, featuring approximately 260 feet of concrete feed bunks, a 60-foot truck/cattle scale, waterers and a snake alley leading to the hydraulic chute system with a tub and forcing gate.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, well-improved ranch with diverse infrastructure, reliable water, strong grazing potential and steady CRP income - all in a desirable region of Eastern New Mexico.
