Rancho Sierra de Enmedio Airstrip

No official reason for the closure has been published. As a private airstrip, the most probable reason is economic. The ranch it served may have changed ownership, ceased operations, or the owners may have decided that the cost of maintaining and operating a private airstrip was no longer financially viable. The closure is likely tied to the operational status of the Rancho Sierra de Enmedio itself.

The airstrip is abandoned and non-operational. Current satellite imagery shows a clearly defined but unmaintained dirt/gravel runway. The surface is weathered, with some vegetation growth, and lacks any standard airport markings. There are no aircraft on site. The land has effectively reverted to being part of the surrounding ranch, with the runway existing as a visible scar on the landscape.

The Rancho Sierra de Enmedio Airstrip was a private-use airfield. Its primary and sole purpose was to support the logistical needs of the large, remote ranch on which it was located. Operations would have consisted of general aviation aircraft (likely single-engine piston or turboprop planes) used for:
- Transporting ranch owners, staff, and guests.
- Flying in urgent supplies, veterinarian services, or specialized equipment.
- Potentially supporting agricultural activities such as crop dusting or aerial surveys of the vast ranch property and livestock.
Its significance was purely private, providing a crucial transportation link for a remote agricultural enterprise in a region with potentially challenging ground access.

There are no known public plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Rancho Sierra de Enmedio Airstrip. As a private facility, any potential reopening would depend entirely on the initiative and funding of the current landowner. Given its state of disrepair and remote location, a significant investment would be required to bring it back to a safe, usable condition. Reopening is considered highly improbable.
