1795 County Road C53A , Las Vegas, NM 87701(San Miguel County)

Eighteen miles off Highway 104, just Northeast of Las Vegas, NM, in San Miguel County, you will find an unexpected oasis, Cave Rock Ranch. Cave Rock Ranch stretches across 1,966+/- acres and includes 1,081+/- acres of New Mexico state land lease, totaling over 3,000+/- contiguous acres. The ranch has diverse terrain well suited for livestock and wildlife. The property combines elevated mesas and deep canyons with thick vegetation (mostly Pinon, Juniper, Ponderosa, Oak brush, and native grasses). Cottonwoods line the dry creek bed that runs through the Northern portion of the ranch. Giant boulders and rock outcroppings add beautiful color and terrain to the property. With elevations running from just above 5,600 feet to over 6,200 feet, beautiful mountain views and the breathtaking views of the bordering Sabinoso Wilderness area are ever-present. In addition, unique caves that vary in size are intermittent throughout the ranch, with the largest of them big enough to explore.

Well-carved roads provide access throughout the ranch. Dirt tanks are scattered across the grassy meadows for livestock to utilize, as well as the Elk, Deer, Bear, Mountain Lion, Turkey and other forms of wildlife that live within the ranch borders.
