Team Roping JournalMay 1, 2026
SANTA FE, NM — The legendary Dead Horse Ranch has officially entered the market, offering an unparalleled 6,100-acre legacy estate designed for the elite horseman and lover of the American West.
Nestled beneath the dramatic silhouettes of Rowe Mesa and Starvation Peak, this storied property has served for over three decades as a sanctuary for world-class horsemanship. The ranch is famously recognized in the equestrian community as a host for internationally respected clinics led by the late Ray Hunt, a heritage that is reflected in every inch of its meticulously planned infrastructure.
Unmatched Training & Roping Infrastructure For the team roper or performance horse enthusiast, the ranch provides a turnkey facility capable of hosting major events or private training operations:
• Massive Indoor Arena: A 31,250-square-foot facility providing a year-round, weather-proof training environment.
• Extensive Boarding: A primary 17,080-square-foot stable housing 88 stalls, complemented by additional barns and a 6,903-square-foot heated main barn.
• Professional Amenities: The property includes multiple outdoor arenas, round pens, miles of heavy-duty pipe fencing, and specialized equipment and hay storage barns.
A Living History The ranch’s original adobe homestead stands as the heart of the property, where handcrafted walls and ancient pinon trees shade a courtyard guarded by historic iron gates—one of which is reputed to have once secured Billy the Kid. This blend of rugged history and refined development includes more than 20 major structures, ranging from luxury residences like the 4,526-square-foot Hill House to the 3,914-square-foot Line House, designed specifically for large-scale Western hospitality and gatherings.
Scale and Stewardship Spanning 5,800 deeded acres plus a 320-acre state lease, Dead Horse Ranch offers a rare combination of absolute privacy and accessibility via I-25. The Coneway family’s 30-year stewardship has resulted in a world-class destination that is equally suited as a private generational retreat, a premier roping venue, or an elite equestrian training hub.
Dead Horse Ranch is currently offered at $39,000,000.
