Romero Hills Ranch is 2,288 deeded acres of pristine forested land near the charming village of Mora, New Mexico. The Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire ripped through Northern New Mexico in the spring of 2022, destroying thousands of acres of forest, but this ranch was miraculously spared. Healthy pinons and large ponderosas cover the peaks and canyons. Healthy rangeland covers the lower elevations. Abundant wildlife, including large elk, mule deer, and black bears, wander this diverse landscape. Spectacular views of the Mora River Valley lie to the west and Hermits Peak to the south.

Romero Hills Ranch has excellent opportunities for horseback riding and endless hiking. Historical petroglyphs adorn several large boulders and caves. Located in Game Management Unit 46, the elevations range from 7,100 feet to 8,400 feet.

Romero Hills Ranch is private yet not isolated. It is located 35 minutes from Las Vegas, one hour from Taos, 90 minutes from Santa Fe, and only 30 minutes to skiing at nearby Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort. Morphy Lake State Park is only 18 minutes away, with trout fishing and canoeing in a beautiful setting. Coyote Creek State Park is 22 minutes away and is an excellent fly-fishing destination.

Enjoy cool summers with the convenience of easy year-round access via NM 518. Romero Hills Ranch is an ideal location to build your dream home with endless views of the Mora River Valley or build a private off-grid cabin deep in the forest with views of the iconic Hermits Peak.

A Northeast New Mexico Private Ranch

We are excited to announce the exclusive co-listing of the RWMR Ranch, a 10,950 all deeded acre property located in beautiful Northeastern, New Mexico. The small community of Wagon Mound, named for the volcanic formation which resembles a Conestoga covered wagon is just north of the ranch. This formation was viewed as a landmark by thousands of pioneer settlers as they came west on the legendary Santa Fe Trail. The Wagon Mound area offered these weary travelers ample water from the natural springs and forage in sub-irrigated meadows in this semi-arid part of the west. Once at Wagon Mound, there were only 10 days left to get to Santa Fe. This immediate region with its natural amenities was such that some of the early travelers settled at Wagon Mound. The headquarters house on the RWMR is over 200 years old and remains in use today.

The ranch has had only two owners in the last 90+ Years. Stuart MacArthur started acquiring homesteads in the 1920s assembling the ranch. He was a local entrepreneur; owned the local mercantile and had a major sheep shearing shed and shipping pens, rumored to handle 100,000 sheep and cattle in some years. He sold the Ranch to William L. Seidman and Family in 1974. Mr. Seidman and his family truly enjoyed the American West and their ranch. He shared his time between many major business positions and serving under President Ronald Reagan as Chairman of both the FDIC and the RTC in the 1980s and thus played a critical part in bringing our country back to solid economic times.
The natural beauty of the ranch and surrounding area exemplifies the true meaning of Land of Enchantment. The panoramic Sangre de Christo and Turkey Mountains are to the west of the RWMR boundaries. This part of New Mexico is the most fertile and most productive livestock area in the state. Native wildlife thrives in Northeast New Mexico. Strong grama and buffalo grass plains are found in this part of the state and these fertile plains make up a good amount of the ranch acreage. A prominent feature of the RWMR is the sub-irrigated meadows found in the central portion of the ranch at the confluence of the Vermejo Creek, and the Jarosa and Chorro Arroyos.  Scenic canyons with rolling Pion  and Juniper hillsides are found on the southeastern portion of the ranch. The ranch elevation at the lower open country is roughly 5,960 feet and increases to 6,300 feet at its highest elevation.

Infrastructure on this ranch is in good condition with fences, watering systems, and pasture care evident throughout the property. Besides the beautiful setting and improvements, its location near so many amenities, yet enjoying privacy and solitude, make this a truly unique property. The ranch is easily accessed from I-25. The closest public airports are in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Private aircraft up to large jets can use the Las Vegas Municipal Airport with its 8,200 foot, paved runway. 
Location and Climate
The ranch is located approximately 30 minutes northeast of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and just over an hour and a half from Santa Fe. The ranch also enjoys access off of paved State Road #271 on its north boundary. Owner entry to the headquarters is approximately 2 miles off S.R. 271.
 
With nearly 300 days of sunshine, low humidity, and an actual four-season climate, the weather is hard to beat. Average annual precipitation exceeds 15-inches with an average snowfall of 2 to 2  feet.

The closest major town is Las Vegas which offers two institutions of higher education:  New Mexico Highlands University and Luna Community College, plus it is home to the Armand Hammer United World College, a prestigious, international preparatory school.  Las Vegas is a historical old west town, and the old-town district provides shops, antiques, bookstores, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and more. Storrie Lake is a recreational destination with modern camping facilities and utility hookups for Glamping or roughing it.  The lake is at 6,600 feet elevation and has a surface area of approximately 1,100 acres.  Storrie Lake offers not only great fishing, but is ideal for sailing, windsurfing and water skiing, capped every January 1st with the annual Polar Bear Plunge. Charette Lakes are approximately 30 miles northwest of the ranch. There are five ski resorts within a two-hour drive of the ranch, with the closest being Angel Fire.

Santa Fe, a short drive down I-25, is a world-renowned destination offering unique historical perspectives and a diverse cultural heritage. As New Mexicos capital, the City Different offers many attractions, including its unique architecture, the downtown Plaza, fine dining, museums, art galleries, cultural events, shopping, historical preservations, and the world-class Sant Fe Opera.

Structural Improvements
The main headquarters home is in a canyon setting along the Vermejo Creek. The house is authentic adobe with portions being over 200 years old. The house contains three bedrooms, three baths, a large living room, dining area, kitchen, and study. Heat is provided by propane heaters and fireplaces. Interior walls are thick adobe and are plastered. Exterior walls are stucco over adobe. There are several patios-porches and a vine covered breezeway leading to a private patio bedroom. The front yard is fenced with a stucco adobe wall.

Other housing includes a guest house at the main headquarters and a second adobe residence a mile up Vermejo Canyon. A smaller employee residence is located just south of Wagon Mound near the north boundry. Small corrals/horse pens are located at all residences as well as barns and sheds for storage.

Onsite improvements include domestic/livestock wells. All wells have been declared with the NM State Engineers Office. Water quality is excellent, and the source is more than ample to serve all facilities. There are several earthen ponds throughout the ranch. The pond at the headquarters could be easily stocked.  Additionally, the ranch includes a very good set of working/shipping corrals with enclosed scale house located conveniently to the county road. There is a state-of-the-art all steel set of shipping pens with a hydraulic squeeze chute, a 20,000 pound set of Fairbanks scales, a steel storage container with refrigerator, saddle racks, electric heater, and storage for medicine and tools. These pens are easily accessible to a county road, which is just west of the pens.
Ranch Operation

Historically the Ranch has been operated as a combination year-long cow-calf and a 5-6 month yearling operation. The carrying capacity is conservatively estimated at 300 Animal Units.  This capacity can be increased related to the unusual natural amenity of sub-irrigated hay production. The meadows can be grazed or harvested and utilized as supplemental livestock feed on the ranch.  The estimated acreage of sub-irrigated land is about 700 to 1,000 acres, dependent upon annual precipitation. 
   
Livestock Water
This is ranch has excellent water distribution throughout with a total of 6 electric wells, 2 solar wells, and 8 windmill wells providing water to livestock. Live year-round springs/ponds are found on the ranch. Vermejo Creek is a year-round water source. Jarosa and Chorro are seasonal water sources. Various locations of the ranch support seasonal water. All Water Rights, if any, related to Vermejo Creek will be conveyed. All other well rights are to be conveyed as well.

Waterfowl will land on the ponds regularly. Turkey, Bald Eagle, and several species of the hawk are common, as are bluebirds, dove, and many other species

Flora and Grama Grass Plains
The ranch contains many species of plant life and trees in its different elevations. Pion pine and juniper, along with oak brush, make up much of the tree cover on the ranch. Cottonwood and willow grow along the draws and Vermejo Creek. Ponderosa Pine and Black Willow trees can be found at various locations on the ranch.
