King Brothers Alamo Ranch Put On Market At 33 Million
Observer reports the King Brothers Alamo Ranch northwest of Rio Rancho is listed for 33 million dollars. The 60 000 deeded and 14 000 leased acres surround Zia and Laguna Pueblos with Rio Puerco on the western edge. The property, purchased in 1961 by the late Gov Bruce King and brothers, is a Colorado-New Mexico legacy ranch with elk mule deer mountain lions in its rolling grassy canyons and mesas. A Hall and Hall broker said the family believes it is a good time to sell amid market conditions.
