Martinez Pintada Ranch

Description

The Martinez Pintada Ranch lies 30 miles southwest of Santa Rosa at the foot of the picturesque Argonne Mesa in Guadalupe County. This expansive property includes 8,976 acres of deeded land, complemented by 5,643 acres New Mexico state lease and 1,280 acres BLM lease, totaling 15,899 acres. Owned and managed by the Martinez family since 1920, this marks the first time this ranch has been offered on the market. The rangeland is in excellent condition and is rated to support around 250 head. Elevations range from approximately 5500 feet to 6100 feet. Livestock water is supplied by three wells - two solar, and one windmill. Multiple storage tanks and an extensive pipeline system feed the numerous drinkers. There are also several well-placed dirt tanks. Livestock handling equipment includes pipe and railroad tie corrals and scales at the headquarters. Other improvements include a modest caretakers house, a charming old rock house and shop, and an old metal and frame barn. The property has four wind turbines, and the wind lease generates over $50,000 annually. Wildlife enthusiasts and hunters will enjoy the pronghorn, mule deer, and other wildlife roaming this expansive landscape. Conveniently positioned just a short 30-mile drive from Interstate 40 and the vibrant community of Santa Rosa, the Martinez Pintada Ranch offers both seclusion and accessibility. With dramatic landscapes and natural beauty, this working cattle ranch presents a rare and compelling opportunity in the heart of New Mexico's ranching country.
