TAYLOR RANCH 480-Acre Private Retreat with Paved Access, Electricity and Sacramento Mountain Views For the discerning buyer seeking substantial acreage, extraordinary scenery, long sightlines, adjoining federal land and convenient paved access, Taylor Ranch represents a genuinely uncommon opportunity to create a private compound or legacy property in Southern New Mexico. Large, contiguous properties offering this combination of scale, accessibility and setting are rarely available in the region. Rarely does a private landholding of this size, accessibility, and natural beauty become available in Southern New Mexico. Taylor Ranch encompasses approximately 480 contiguous acres beneath the dramatic western escarpment of the Sacramento Mountains, with commanding mountain views and clear sightlines extending roughly 10 miles in three directions. The property offers nearly 1.5 miles of paved frontage - approximately 2,640 feet along Dog Canyon Road and 5,278 feet along Taylor Ranch Road. This exceptional access preserves the scale, privacy, and openness of a true Southwestern retreat without the isolation and difficult access commonly associated with large rural properties. Electricity borders the property on the east, south, and west, offering convenient proximity to utility service while preserving the flexibility to incorporate solar power, backup generation, and water storage into a more self-sufficient estate or retreat. Buyers should independently verify utility availability, capacity, and connection requirements. Federally owned land used by Holloman Air Force Base as a water-well field borders much of the property to the north and east, contributing to its unusually private, low-density setting. Taylor Ranch is ideally suited for a private estate, self-sufficient retreat, multigenerational family compound, recreational ranch, corporate or veterans' retreat, or long-term legacy holding. Its size provides abundant room for a primary residence, guest accommodations, equestrian facilities, workshops, trails, and outdoor recreation, subject to the buyer's plans and applicable requirements. The location offers the increasingly rare combination of privacy without isolation: approximately 10 miles to the Alamogordo city limits, 30 minutes to White Sands National Park, 45 minutes to Cloudcroft, an hour 10 minutes to Ruidoso, and only an hour 20 minutes to the El Paso International Airport
