Pancho Villa’s Rancho Falls Into 720 Small Farms Plan
The 180000 acre Hacienda de Canutillo in Durango once owned by Pancho Villa is being subdivided into about 720 farms of 250 acres each by the Mexican government. Buyers must cultivate year round, pay annuities, and may gain a paradise for fruit and vegetables as irrigation from the Rio Florida supports thousands of acres. Villa’s former home, church, stores, and adobe apartments are part of the complex, with schools and a flour mill nearby serving the new settlements.
