Ranch Information

Santa Fe Trail Ranch

Santa Fe Trail Ranch has approximately 16,800 acres of land including a Greenbelt Conservatory Belt along Gallinas Canyon. It is the largest subdivision in Las Animas County. Historically it has been one of the better selling ranches in the area, because it is within ten miles of the city of Trinidad and provides mountain living with city amenities just around the corner. Nearly all parcels have power and phone. The Property Owners' Association is in the process of installing a central water system with "city water".
