BROKER’S COMMENTS:
The Solano Ranch is not a fancy, well improved ranch property, but
it is an honest (you can see what you are getting) short grass cattle
operation in some of the strongest grass country in the world.
It is well located on a state highway with an entrance that can be
locked. The ranch has a
couple of CRP checks coming, and who knows, it might go back in the
program when the CRP contract expires in September of 2012.
The ranch is priced to reflect its need for some fence and
corral
work – you hardly ever see a ranch priced below $300 per acre in the Roy
area. If you are looking for
a no frills, good grass ranch, take the time to look at this excellent buy
known as the Solano Ranch in northeast New Mexico.
