This is a rewarding semi-rural opportunity for an active owner-operator. With no nearby direct competition, the Feed Store – New Mexico’s largest provider of farrier supplies – serves residents, hobby farmers, and ranchers throughout a broad service area.
New owners will continue to benefit from the area’s rapid growth and high-visibility presence on the Turquoise Trail, the popular tourist route that connects Santa Fe with the historic town of Madrid. While new residential developments continue to spill into the southern region of the county, the community of San Marcos is dedicated to preserving its rural character and lifestyle.
Leasing the cafe would provide new owners with stable rental income and operational simplicity. A cherished hang-out for locals, travelers, and the film industry, San Marcos Cafe’s years of goodwill presents a strong upside, whether for an owner-operator or third-party operator.
San Marcos Cafe and Feed Store is rooted in authenticity and local connection. The combination of property, brand longevity, and lifestyle appeal makes it an exceptional opportunity.
