Land for Sale in Las Vegas, New Mexico

Las Cuevas Canyon Hunting and Cattle Ranch is located just outside of Trujillo, NM in San Miguel County. Containing approximately 2,578 deeded acres that are directly bound along the north by the scenic 29,000 acre Sabinoso Wilderness. The ranch also borders over 700 acres of New Mexico State lands in which a new owner could lease for additional grazing. The property had historically been utilized for cattle grazing by a small local operation. The gramma grass and plenty of dirt tanks to support livestock and wildlife watering. In addition, there is a centrally located solar powered stock well that pumps water to select portions of the ranch. The modest elevation and terrain make this ranch fully accessible through a system of trails and internal roads and many portions of the property appear to remain largely undiscovered. The terrain varies from wide open meadows, rimrock-lined canyons with water courses and dense stands of ponderosa, cedar and juniper trees. Las Cuevas, Isidio, Santiago and Higgins Canyons extend through the property and offer both contour and safe havens for cattle and resident wildlife.

This ranch is located in NM GMU 42 and historically has not been hunted despite healthy populations of Elk, Mule Deer, Turkey and Black Bear. GMU 42 offers the rare opportunity to purchase over-the-counter, unlimited elk tags. This property is primed for the avid outdoorsman.

To take a look at this rare opportunity and set up a private tour, please reach out to Manny Trujillo or Brent Hedrick. As a note, this property can be purchased together with the bordering Wapiti Canyon Ranch containing 643 additional acres.
