Price: $2,050,000

Location: Santa Fe County, New Mexico

Industry: Retail and Wholesale

Listing ID: San Marcos

This is a rare chance to acquire an essential, irreplaceable business and lifestyle. For over 40 years, the legendary San Marcos Cafe and Feed Store has been a destination, community hub, and well-known stop on the Turquoise Trail. Set in Santa Fe County’s horse country, the 5-acre parcel includes a 2214 SF Feed Store plus various outbuildings, a 2000 SF cafe, and an 1841 SF private residence.

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.

We look forward to sharing more. Just complete our NDA/Profile, and we’ll be in touch to open conversations.
