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 National Forest. This property has amazing views of the Gila mountains.
The property features 8 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 plus 2 pomegranate trees that were planted in 2021.
The property has an amazing 66 acre feet in groundwater rights located in the Middle Rio Grande. A new irrigation pump and underground drip irrigation system were installed in 2023.
Every building on the property has been renovated in the past 3 years. That means 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. The spacious master suite features a door that leads out to a deck that overlooks the orchard, a large master bath and walk-in closet.
The home was renovated with 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).
No farm is complete without a large open shop. This property does not disappoint because it has a newly renovated large open shop/barn with a variety of multi-use 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 their candies and pecan pies.
This orchard is famous! From1990-2008 the 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. The event was featured in the local newspaper several times. In December of 2024, the orchard was the host of the 2nd Annual Christmas at the Orchard event. The local community is looking forward to this orchard being the host of many more events in the future.
There is also a growing turnkey farm to table business with the majority of the orchard's 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 their raw naturally organic pecans, the family has developed many flavors that are wildly popular. The business also sells pecan wood chips and chunks for smoking meat.
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 again. It is all ready for you to take over.
