Loma Grande Ranch is a 320 deeded acre Alpine Paradise entirely surrounded by the Lincoln National Forest White Mountain Wilderness. The towering Sacramento Mountains and the 12,000 ft. Sierra Blanca Peak is like an island rising from a desert sea giving sanctuary to the surrounding desert dwellers and is an attractant to the thriving Four Season Mountain Resort community of Ruidoso. This is a destination region that offers fine dining, performing arts, championship golf, action of the casinos, horse racing, recreation, Big Game hunting and snow skiing. Real Estate residential developments, commercial businesses, rural ranching enterprises and federal public land all compete for the many land use opportunities of Lincoln County’s most diversified region.
Loma Grande Ranch has an enviable location nestled high in a Alpine Valley above the activities of the Ruidoso community. It is peaceful, remote and serene, yet with good proximity and access to the many area attractions.
Access to Loma Grande Ranch is via New Mexico State Highway 37 to Forest Road 131, a gravel roadway, which provides right-of-way to the property.
Loma Grande Ranch is comprised of two non-contiguous 160 acre tracts separated only by the forest access road. Both tracts are entirely fenced and can stand alone.
Water rights are associated with the ranch. Loma Grande Ranch has a full water right amount of 176.4 acre-feet per annum. These water rights are recorded with the New Mexico State Engineers under the file H-2068-1. These are subsurface water rights that could be diverted from six irrigation wells. There are three wells on each tract. The big well located on the east tract is equipped with a 5 hp. Submersible pump and produces 100+ gpm. It delivers water into a 2 inch high pressure PVC water line for diversion thru irrigation sprinkler guns.
Topography of this high mountain Alpine Ranch includes large grass meadows flanked by mountain slopes and rich forest woodlands. The open meadows and slopes are at the head waters of Philadelphia Canyon. These grassy meadows are in the general area of the irrigable land and location of the water rights.

The mild climate of Loma Grande is represented with all four seasons. The average annual rainfall is 25 inches which includes seasonal snow fall.
Thru the years Loma Grande has been developed as an equestrienne, cattle and recreation ranch. Associated with the property is the adjacent Loma Grande and Lower Bonito USFS Cattle Grazing allotments. These allotments permit the seasonal grazing of up to 81 head of cattle.
