New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch is a model for conservation and preservation. Set in the scenic Tusas mountains of New Mexico’s northern Rockies, the land is virtually untouched by humans. With the exception of grazing lands at the lowest elevations, you will find this land much as the earliest inhabitants found it. Rugged mountain box canyons, cut by wild freestone rivers give way to gentler foothills and wildflower meadows. New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch is truly a land of great diversity.
Any development leaves an imprint on the earth. But the master plan for New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch insures that the imprint will be as light as possible.
- Landholdings start at 140 acres, a significant piece of land for a single family to enjoy.
- Only 20 acres of each holding can be developed. That leaves over 80% of the Ranch untouched and untamed in perpetuity.
- A conservation easement of NNNNN acres [need info] has been set aside for common enjoyment and wiidlife habitat.
- Trout ponds on New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch help conserve precious rain waters. By collecting the natural runoff, the water has a chance to replenish groundwater and aquifer supplies, rather than be lost to evaporation.
- Headwaters of streams and lands that adjoin the streams of New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch are critical habitat for the native trout population as well as terrestrial animals that come to drink and bathe. The Ranch master plan protects all of these important habitats through conservation easements.
- Road building – roads can affect the migratory and breeding habits of gain. Roads can also lead to siltation of streams and soil loss through runoff. At New Mexico’s Mundy Ranch, we’ve given careful consideration to the placement and design of all roads to minimize or eliminate these problems.
