Ranch For Sale in New Mexico USA

250,000 Acre (101,171 Hectare) Sporting And Cattle Ranch

Asking Price: $100,000,000 USD  (Negotiable)

From spectacular vistas of red-banded mesas, to the sheer walls of Canadian River canyons, to the vastness of the big sky country, the Bell Ranch presents investors with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Western heritage with a vivid history pre-dating New Mexico’s statehood by nearly a century. Equal to the grandeur of the Bell Ranch’s 250,000 deeded acres are the vision and tradition that have constantly coursed through this land. Witness cowboys working a breed of cattle found only at the Bell Ranch after 135 years dedicated to improving bloodlines. Explore over 390 square miles of terrain for sporting and other recreation, and discover why the deep attachment to this land by those who knew it well has kept it a wild, stunning expanse of nature.

Although the cattle ranching business has long been of primary interest to Bell Ranch historians, the Ranch has been and is currently used in many ways, from traditional cattle ranching to trail rides, guided hunts, conservation, and hospitality at the famed Hacienda.
