Situated in the coveted Unit 43, this extraordinary property seamlessly blends productive ranch operations with stunning high-desert beauty and the convenience of nearby Santa Fe amenities. The ranch is currently fenced and thoughtfully divided into 16 pastures, El Sueno supports conservative grazing operations for approximately 350 head of yearling cattle from May through October. Five dependable wells ensure reliable water across the property, while sweeping mountain views provide a breathtaking backdrop to daily ranch life. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate frequent visits from antelope, elk, and deer that share these pristine grasslands. The property includes a main residence with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a functional barn to support ranch operations. An approved 8,000-square-foot building pad offers the opportunity to construct a new ranch headquarters, allowing buyers to design their ideal operational center or dream home while maintaining the existing structures. Protected by a conservation easement, El Sueno will remain undivided and preserved for agricultural use in perpetuity—ensuring the ranch's natural beauty and productive capacity for generations to come. While currently operating as a cattle ranch, the property's infrastructure and scale make it equally suited for equestrian operations, diversified livestock enterprises, or other agricultural pursuits. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant working ranch that offers both solitude and accessibility. Whether you're seeking to continue the cattle tradition, establish an equestrian estate, or create your own agricultural vision, El Sueno provides the land, infrastructure, and proximity to Santa Fe that serious ranchers and land stewards dream about.
