Garcia Ranch at Antonito

Farm Description

The Garcia Ranch at Antonito is a rare opportunity to purchase a historic San Luis Valley ranch.After being in the Garcia family for several generations, this property is coming on the market.The Garcia's have been excellent stewards of this land for generations allowing this native grass ranch to pass to the new owner unblemished and in exceptional condition. The ranch has traditionally been used for seasonal grazing of cattle and with the abundance of grass on the ranch it could run as a cow/calf or yearling operation with some improvements to the watering capability.Taking a trek over this wonderful ranch is almost like stepping back in time. You will encounter volcanic rock outcroppings, signs of pronghorn, mule deer, elk, bobcat, an array of varmints and possibly a cottontail rabbit, which is what Conejos cottontail in Spanish County is named after. You will also have the opportunity to find remnants of teepee rings from the days when this area was prime hunting grounds for many Native American Indians.The Garcia Ranch at Antonito is located southeast of the town of Antonito and approximately 40 miles south of the larger community of Alamosa and the San Luis Valley Regional Airport. The ranch is situated 2 miles north of the Colorado and New Mexico border and is adjacent to thousands of acres of public lands. The ranch ranges in elevation from 7700' and rises to 8284' at the top of Saritas Peak which is centrally located on the ranch.For the hunting enthusiast, The Garcia Ranch at Antonito is located in Colorado GMU 81 with a mix of limited draw and otc tags available.For questions or to schedule a personal showing, please contact Rick Kusel
