The ranches consist of 698 acres in Conejos County east of Antonito. Current uses include center-pivot irrigated crop fields, with all fields currently in organic alfalfa production which is rotated out every 7-10 years. Peas, oats, sorghum, and seed potatoes are also planted. The conservation easement includes surface water rights from one ditch system and four groundwater wells. The ranches provide winter range habitat for elk and pronghorn, and overall habitat for mule deer and sandhill crane. Pronghorn, which bed down in the South Piñon Hills, are often observed grazing on the property.
The property has beautiful views of the southern Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east, open expanses in northern New Mexico to the south, and the Los Mogotes area to the west. Numerous conservation easements are within the vicinity of the property, adding to the benefits for wildlife!
