Property Overview
South Swink Farm & Grow Yard is a highly functional 159± acre irrigated farm and feedlot offering a strong combination of hay production, livestock infrastructure, and comfortable rural living in Otero County. This turnkey operation is ideally suited for cattle and hay producers, with a well-balanced layout designed for efficiency and ease of use.
The property includes a well-maintained four-bedroom, two-bath home with a wraparound porch, mature landscaping, and a finished basement, providing both comfort and practicality for an owner or manager. The improvements are extensive and thoughtfully designed, anchored by an 800-head feedlot with six pipe pens, automatic waterers, a hydraulic chute, cattle scales, and a semi loadout with convenient access from a paved road.
Additional infrastructure supports both livestock and hay operations, including a pipe roping arena, tack shed, irrigated grass trap, grain bins, calving barn, small platform scale, and a 2,040± square foot shop. A 120’ x 65’ hay shed, constructed in 2023, offers ample storage for feed and equipment.
The irrigated acreage includes approximately 100 acres under pivot, supported by a 10± acre-foot collection pond and 120 shares of the Otero Canal. Additional Catlin Canal water may be leased through the Division of Wildlife and delivered via headgate #193, enhancing irrigation flexibility. The farm was re-seeded to alfalfa in 2024, positioning it for continued productivity and strong yields.
Located in the Swink School District, with direct paved road access, South Swink Farm & Grow Yard offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well-improved, income-producing agricultural property in a desirable, accessible location.
