Land Description
Scenic Estancia Valley farm that exhibits pride of ownership and hard work. This farm with 112 acres irrigated is a model for production and ease of operation. Producing 8,000 bales per cutting in recent years, this farm is a money maker in a beautiful high valley area. This northern Estancia Valley farm gets 3 cuttings per year or approximately 24,000 bales per year.
The irrigation well on this farm was recently re-drilled to 405 ft. with static water level at 170ft. Producing approximately 750 gallons per minute of water at 20 psi is more than enough water for any crop one would want. The well is equipped with a submersible pump and a Pierce Center Pivot administers water for a trouble free and efficient delivery.
Water rights on this farm are grandfathered water rights, which means they will not be taken away.
The circle has a blend of Alfalfa and Orchard Grass which is a highly desirable mix for horse quality hay.
Investing a lifetime improving this farm, the owners have taken no short cuts to assure that this farm is a top producer in this area and the state.
The north end of the Estancia Valley is known to have excellent soils and abundant groundwater that has not been depleted. Unlike many areas in the state that are facing a rapidly depleting groundwater situation, this area remains a strong groundwater source.
Due to rapid growth in Albuquerque and Santa Fe this area is also desirable for development purposes. It is in close proximity to these areas and is just far enough away to provide a nice get away farm. First and most important this farm is a highly productive and profitable business that needs to be seen. If you are looking for a good money maker with a proven production history and a location you just can't beat, this is the one. Call to schedule a viewing.
