New Mexico

Mexico's horse ranches and equestrian estates encapsulate the rugged and expansive spirit of the American Southwest. Scattered across the state's diverse terrain of deserts, mountains, and high plains, these ranches are not only working landscapes but also repositories of cultural and historical significance.

Spanish explorers and colonizers, including Juan de Oñate, brought horses to the area in the late 16th century. The introduction of horses revolutionized transportation, trade, and hunting practices among Native American tribes, such as the Apache and Navajo, who quickly adopted these magnificent animals into their nomadic lifestyles. As ranching operations expanded in the American West, not only facilitated cattle roundups but also enabled ranchers to cover large distances efficiently. Today, as modern ranching techniques coexist with traditional practices, horses continue to symbolize the enduring spirit and legacy of New Mexico's ranching traditions. 

Statistically, the New Mexico horse industry produces goods and services valued at $600+ million91,100 New Mexicans are involved with horses, either as horse owners, service providers, employees, or volunteers. Even more participate as spectators. The New Mexico horse industry directly provides 35,700 full-time equivalent jobs. Spending by suppliers and employees (in New Mexico and other states) generates additional jobs in New Mexico for a total employment impact of 45,000. There are 99,100 horses in New Mexico, over 60 percent of which are involved in showing and recreation.

With a GDP of $96.5 billion, New Mexico's economy is characterized by a diverse blend of industries that contribute to its unique economic landscape. Historically, the state has been associated with extractive industries, such as oil and natural gas, which play a significant role in its revenue generation. Additionally, New Mexico has a strong presence in the technology and research sectors, fostering innovation and scientific advancements. Despite these strengths, New Mexico faces economic challenges, including issues related to poverty and income inequality. Efforts to diversify the economy and invest in education and infrastructure are ongoing to ensure sustained growth and prosperity for the residents of the Land of Enchantment.

One of a Kind Hacienda Compound on 560 Acres

Youngsville, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico


Apache Mesa Ranch is a timeless sanctuary, where the past meets the present in a landscape that has inspired generations. Unparalleled views of the rolling grasslands, ancient rock outcroppings, and miles of piñon, ponderosa, and juniper offer a soothing visual harmony — that unmistakable “Southwest Zen.” Located just 70 miles north of Santa Fe, the ranch is comprised of a primary residence, a gorgeous guest house as well as three additional secondary casitas, each capable of being fully independent and self-sufficient homes. But first: the 4,640-sf main house, built in 2004 inspired by the estancias of South America, strikes the perfect balance between rustic and refined. This spectacular home was lovingly constructed in close collaboration with some of the finest craftsmen in northern New Mexico. You’ll relish the authentic architectural details at every turn, including antique doors sourced from Chihuahua, Mexico; hand-scraped oak living room & dining room floors affixed with handmade nails, wide pine plank floors in the main bedroom, and beautifully crafted cabinetry throughout the entire home. All the primary buildings are constructed of authentic adobe (warm in Winter, cool in Summer) and each room features its own unique ceiling treatment that includes reclaimed and hand-finished wood vigas. The central courtyard of this elegant hacienda-style home, known as the placita, creates a serene refuge. Enter through an ancient zaguan passage, lined with stone sourced from property. The charming internal colonnade is paved with vintage bricks from across the US, adding texture and delight underfoot. The one-of-a-kind kitchen features antique French tile floors, a wood-fired oven, a custom wood island with seating, a Viking range and adjacent butler’s pantry. Outside, looking over the classic pool and grapevine-covered pergolas is an undisturbed view of the iconic Cerro Pedernal, the mesa that famously captivated Georgia O’Keeffe. At night, a sky untarnished by city lights and awash with stars is as vast and brilliant as the land itself. Steps from the main house, the two-car carriage house with attached studio/office features its own bath, plus connections for a kitchen. Additional structures on the property include the original 1049-sf 1bd/1ba casita set a mile further uphill, high on a mesa with a portal with the biggest views of them all; half a mile from the main house is a large workshop & writer’s studio with fireplace and sweeping views of the scenery — the perfect place to dream big dreams; and an additional 2bd/1ba caretaker’s casita that is perched above the main gate. The equestrian facility, complete with world-class dressage arena by Premier Equestrian LLC, horse barns, tack room and an adjacent horseshoe canyon; a perfect place for the horses to roam. Multiple sites on the property could accommodate a helicopter or be considered for adding a heliport. Spanning over 560 acres, with an adjacent 500 acres also available, this incredibly-appointed ranch estate offers plenty of space for family and friends to convene peacefully. At Apache Mesa Ranch, the spirit of the land is woven into the very fabric of the home, creating an experience that is both profoundly peaceful and uniquely elegant, set amid ancient and sacred geology.
