Houses in the original townsite are a mixture of old homesteads and modern homes.  Century old adobe structures, cottonwood trees, and scenes of horse and sheep grazing in the fields of the little shell-shaped valley remind you that Concho is truly an American western town.

The Ranchlands

Outside of Concho, the ranch land is vast and varied.  All around Concho are large cattle and horse ranches that have been in families for generations. Interspersed among the large ranches are rural subdivisons with small acreage homesites and 20+ acreage mini-ranches settled by modern homesteaders who have built their dream life in the American West far away from the crowds.  Antelope, elk, eagles,and hawks are a common sight in the ranchlands outside of town.
