The Lobo East Ranch is located approximately 40 air miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico.  This ranch truly epitomizes the description of New Mexico being the “Land of Enchantment.” The topography and views from parts of this ranch are stunning, which makes it one of the most scenic in the state. Driving time to the ranch is approximately 1.5 hours from the Albuquerque International Airport and about 1 hour from Double Eagle Airport. Access to the property is provided by NM State maintained roads.  The Lobo East Ranch is a 100% deeded ranch unit. Two additional public roads traverse the northern and southern boundary areas.
