History, heritage, and the enduring spirit of the American West converge at Dead Horse Ranch a sprawling 6,100 acre sanctuary set against the breathtaking backdrops of Rowe Mesa and Starvation Peak. Nestled between Santa Fe and Las Vegas, New Mexico, this rare and storied ranch is a masterful blend of rugged authenticity and refined development. More than a property, it is a generational treasure shaped by over thirty years of care, vision, and unwavering stewardship by the Coneway family.

Iron gates one said to have once secured Billy the Kid guard the entrance to a place where the past is palpable. This is not merely a residence; it is a portal to a time when craftsmanship and connection to the land defined the way of life. From the antique hitching posts to the thoughtfully preserved adobe architecture, every detail honors the lands rich cultural narrative.

Over the decades, the ranch has evolved into a premier private and equestrian estate. It has hosted internationally respected horsemanship clinics led by Ray Hunt and served as a place of gathering, celebration, and outdoor adventure. More than twenty major structures now grace the land, including custom residences, guest lodges, barns, indoor and outdoor arenas, and meticulously planned working facilities. Expansive pipe fencing, miles of improved roads, round pens, ponds, and operational infrastructure support a wide range of lifestyle, ranching, and hospitality uses.

Whether envisioned as a private generational retreat, an elite equestrian hub, or a world-class Western hospitality destination, Dead Horse Ranch offers unmatched scale, beauty, and purpose. Its proximity to Santa Fes cultural pulse, combined with its remoteness and grandeur, creates an opportunity rarely seen in the American Southwest.

Here, every building tells a story. Every acre holds a memory. And every sunrise offers a fresh chapter. Dead Horse Ranch is not just land it is a legacy in waiting.
