Five dependable wells ensure reliable water across the property, while sweeping mountain views provide a breathtaking backdrop to daily ranch life. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate frequent visits from antelope, elk, and deer that share these pristine grasslands.The property includes a main residence with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with a functional barn to support ranch operations. An approved 8,000-square-foot building pad offers the opportunity to construct a new ranch headquarters, allowing buyers to design their ideal operational center or dream home while maintaining the existing structures.Protected by a conservation easement, El Sueno will remain undivided and preserved for agricultural use in perpetuity--ensuring the ranch's natural beauty and productive capacity for generations to come.
