Over the decades, Rancho de Abiquiu has maintained a strong connection to agriculture and the cattle industry. The 66-acre property, which features the Chama River meandering through it, has fertile bottomlands that have long been productive for growing hay and alfalfa, thanks to ample irrigation rights. Previously, the two separately deeded parcels supported a large-scale cattle operation during its tenure as an active ranch. Notable improvements include pipe corrals, livestock feeders, bunk feeders, chutes, sorting pens, an open-storage feed shed, and fuel storage tanks. Additionally, the property is equipped with a heated equipment barn, a residence for the property manager, a breeding lab, and a scale house.

About 60 miles north of Santa Fe, Abiquiu and surrounding communities of El Rito, Gallina, Ojo Caliente and Chama to the north are some of the most beautiful landscapes New Mexico has to offer.
