Welcome to El Morro Valley Ranch. Situated at the base of the Zuni Mountains in Cibola County, New Mexico, this land looks out across a broad, sweeping valley toward the sandstone bluff of El Morro National Monument and other spectacular rock and mesa formations. Imagine waking up to absolute quiet and looking out at mesas, ancient volcanos, and pink and red rock formations rising in the distance. Imagine walking into the adjacent National Forest of Pinon, Juniper and Ponderosa pines and hiking, hiking, hiking. This is El Morro Valley Ranch. It is highly unusual to find land that is adjacent to a National Forest, has ancient trees, free roaming wildlife, sweeping views and a seasonal creek. This is truly a unique and special place. The ranch is offering only 4 properties for sale.
