Nestled in the foothills of New Mexico’s Black Range Mountains, this established and fully operational pecan orchard combines modern efficiency, natural beauty, and historic character. Thoughtfully designed for ease of operation, it provides both income potential and peace of mind.
The farm’s automated drip irrigation and fertilization system keeps the orchard thriving with minimal oversight. Pruning, harvesting, and processing are professionally outsourced, allowing the current owner to manage the property part-time for over 20 years—without employees.

The sale includes all essential equipment, making this a true turnkey operation ready for immediate transfer.
Lake Valley Pecan Farm spans 115 ± deeded acres, with 64 ± acres under irrigation supported by perfected water rights. Remarkably, less than half of the total allocation is currently used—leaving ample capacity for orchard expansion, pasture development, or alternative agricultural ventures.
The property enjoys easy highway access, a private well, and high-speed gigabit fiber-optic internet, providing rural tranquility without sacrificing modern connectivity.
The main home is a 110-year-old adobe residence—move-in ready, rich with charm, and full of potential for creative renovation. Additional structures include:
A large two-story barn with horse stalls and riding arena.
A metal shop and equipment storage shed.
A guesthouse for visiting family, friends, or caretakers.
Farming has thrived in Lake Valley for over a thousand years. The Mogollon people first cultivated these valleys, carving their field maps into the surrounding rock. In 1875, pioneer Ruben McEvers homesteaded this land—raising crops, prospecting for silver, and ultimately discovering a rich vein that sparked the local mining boom.
The legacy he began continues today in Lake Valley’s enduring spirit of stewardship. This is not land to be conquered, but land to be lived with—a place that rewards respect, patience, and care.
Yes, Lake Valley Pecan Farm is a profitable business in a stunning setting—but that’s only half the story. It’s a place of growth and renewal, not just for the orchard, but for the people who call it home.
For those seeking a simpler, more meaningful life built around authenticity, history, and sustainable abundance—Lake Valley Pecan Farm is waiting.
