This is a rare opportunity to acquire a rewarding business and lifestyle. For over 40 years, the San Marcos Café 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 approximately 5-acre parcel includes a 4,171 SF two-level feed store plus various outbuildings, a 1,925 SF café, and a 1,894 SF private residence. Two recent independent appraisals put the real estate value at $1,400,000.
This combination of property, brand longevity, and lifestyle appeal is well-suited to an active owner/operator. While much of Santa Fe’s growth has been focused on the south side, the community of San Marcos is dedicated to preserving its rural character. 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.
Leasing the café could provide new owners with flexible rental income and operational simplicity. It’s long been a popular hang-out for locals, travelers, and film industry professionals. With a stable staff in place, its goodwill presents a strong upside, whether for an owner-operator or third-party operator.

Facilities
Set on 5.08 acres, the property encompasses two retail buildings, a garage, and several storage facilities that support the operation. Tucked off to the side and protected by a high wall is an upgraded 1,894-square-foot single family home. Total square feet, including heated and unheated space is 11,674.
Market Outlook/Competition
The Feed Store is the only one of its kind and among the few commercially zoned properties in the area. With high barriers to entry, the nearest comparable operation is a significant drive away. For more than 40 years, it has served a broad regional market and remains an essential community resource. There are several opportunities to build upon the business’s platforms. More details can be shared after the NDA/Confidential Buyer Profile is signed.
