OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A WORLD FAMOUS NATURALLY ORGANIC PECAN ORCHARD situated in the historic village of Cuchillo, this 10.66 acre property is nestled at the base of the Gila mountains and the Gila National Forest.

The property features 8.5 acres of pecan trees; 238 mature and producing trees (planted 1970), 80 trees planted in 2021, and room to plant an additional 164 trees in the existing orchard. There is another .85 acre parcel of land ready to be planted with anything you desire; the family had planned to plant a you-pick fruit orchard in this space. There are also 4 apple trees and one pomegranate bush all planted in 2021. The property is being sold with 66 acre feet in groundwater rights located in the Middle Rio Grande. All 66 acre feet of water rights will go with the orchard with an acceptable offer.  A new irrigation pump and underground drip irrigation system were installed in 2023.  The orchard is pre-approved for a wildlife fence through the NM Fish and Game.

Every building on the property has been renovated in the past 3 years so all the hard work has been done and the property is move-in ready. The spacious main house features an open concept living area with a large, renovated kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and 4 bedrooms with a large master suite.  The home features high end finishes such as oak hard wood floors, ceramic tiles, high end carpet, vinyl flooring, a new furnace and central air conditioning (2022), new appliances, and a new propane freestanding stove. The home also has a new metal roof (2022), new windows, 2 new decks (2022), and a fresh coat of paint (2024).

The property also features a large shop/barn with a variety of rooms attached.  Two of the unfinished rooms were wired specifically to accommodate commercial refrigeration in anticipation of being the farm’s new store front. The entrance to the space features a new French door for easy access to the storefront for customers as well as deliveries.

Also attached to the newly renovated shop is 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom Casita.  It is spacious and ready to be used as guest quarters, a short or long term rental, or it could be turned back into a commercial kitchen and storefront. The apartment's bathroom was renovated (2024), new appliances (2021), and new HVAC (min-splits) in 2022. This space was previously a commercial kitchen and candy store where the family famously made candies and pecan pies.  

From 1990-2008 our family hosted the annual Cuchillo Pecan Festival, which was so well attended, they would regularly sell 700 pecan pies during the one day event. In 2023, the family began bringing festivals back to the orchard with the first annual Christmas at the Orchard event that was attended by over 400 people and featured several times in the local newspaper.  In December of 2024, we held another very successful Christmas event at the orchard.  The local community is looking forward to this orchard being the host of many events in the future.


We also own and operate a growing farm to table business with the majority of our customers being in the northern regions of the country.  The business grew so well in 2023, the family purchased 3,000 lbs. of pecans from another organic orchard to accommodate the needs of their customers.

​

This orchard has been in the same family since 1989 and has never had chemicals used in it therefore the pecans and pecan wood chips are naturally organic.  In addition to selling our raw naturally organic pecans, we have developed many flavors that are wildly popular.  We also chip the pecan wood and sell the wood chips for smoking meat.

This is your chance to own a famous orchard and carry on our 35 year family tradition of growing and supplying free chemical pecans directly to consumers.  All the hard work has been done so you can step into this existing business and continue to increase the on-line sales, store presence, and continue hosting events here again.  It is all ready for you to take over.
