Property description

Where sunsets paint the horizon and the river sings through the valley, Diamond K Bar Ranch stands as a legacy property unlike any other. Spanning over 588 acres of rich, fertile ground with over 2 miles of the Animas River weaving through its heart, this is the ranch that defines the Southwest dream. At the center of it all is the number one water right off the Animas River, a piece of history and a lifeline for agriculture, wildlife, and recreation. The Animas flows into the famed San Juan River, world-renowned for its legacy fishing, making this ranch a haven for those who value water, land, and lifestyle in perfect harmony. If a private hunting haven, or fishing retreat isn't all you're looking for than you will appreciate this working ranch. It boasts cutting-edge agricultural production powered by cell phone-controlled irrigation systems. The land flourishes under a canvas of towering cottonwoods, trees, and open skies, supporting abundant hay production while creating a sanctuary for elk, deer, and turkey. With private land hunting tags available, this ranch is as much about recreation as it is about productivity, and borders over 157,000 acres of BLM land. The infrastructure matches the scale with a full livestock barn and feeding lot, an arena, mechanical shop, hay storage facilities, 2 homes offering space for family, guests, or ranch staff, and six greenhouses ready for expansion into farming or horticulture ventures. Importantly, this land carries no conservation easements, offering freedom and the potential for future parcel divisions if desired. Beyond its borders lies convenience, with less than 20 minutes to Durango, Colorado, where shopping, dining, and a regional airport are close at hand. World-class skiing is just an hour away, giving you access to every adventure the Four Corners region offers. Medical systems are available in both Durango as well as Farmington, Nm both just a short drive. Whether you seek an agricultural powerhouse, a private hunting retreat, or a multi-generational legacy estate, Diamond K Bar Ranch delivers. This is not just land. It is lifestyle, heritage, and opportunity—an iconic New Mexico estate awaiting its next chapter. Diamond K Bar Ranch. Your legacy begins here
