This ranch is assessed as Ag Land. This property is governed by both the city and county zoning ordinances. New Mexico State Law allows subdivision of a minimum of 140 acre tracts of land. The City and County of San Miguel both adhere to the State Law. Any tracts less than 140 acres require the owner or owners to apply to the City of Las Vegas and San Miguel County zoning and planning for their approval. From every acre on this ranch you have views of Storrie Lake and the mesa top views as well as the other surrounding mountain tops that would make attractive home sites. The City of Las Vegas has a 10-inch water line that is on the south end of the property. This water source may be available for future development of home-sites. However, conditional approval for taps will be required by the City of Las Vegas. This line previously provided water to the MDF Plant. Uses of this property are wide open given its very convenient location to Storrie Lake and Las Vegas. Alternatively, should protection of this gorgeous properties current state be an owners goal and giving consideration to the property location near the City of Las Vegas and its west boundary bordering Storrie Lake, granting of a conversation easement to protect the property from development could be explored with several conservation organizations.

The ranch is located in strong grazing country with year round cattle grazing or yearling grazing. Drainage off the steep mesa to the west provide water for several dirt tanks. There is well on top of the mesa that is approximately 300 feet deep and at the time it was drilled it produced 40 gallons per minute. The well can be set up with modern solar equipment or electricity can be run from the Cell Tower site to the well. There is also a telephone line running to the cell tower site. There is a natural artesian spring that feeds the valley below and has the potential of capturing into a reservoir for livestock use. The spring has run continuously for over 50 years. The well is at 7,092 feet of elevation and the spring is at 6,988 feet.
