Rio Rojo Canyon Ranch

Posted on: July 11th, 2020 by

Rio Rojo Canyon Ranch, GMU 47
3,468 acres with 8 miles of Canadian River. This is pristine, secluded, wilderness-type wildlife habitat with zero people-pressure and no public access! High elevation grasslands meet deep canyon country along both sides of the Spectacular Canadian River Gorge. Views of distant snow-capped mountains add a special touch of western drama. On both sides of the rim old homesteads and stacked-stone-ruins hold secrets of the past. Trophy Elk and Big Mule Deer thrive on this ranch along with Barbary Sheep (Audad), Pronghorn, Turkey, Mountain Lion, Bobcats, and Black Bear. Enjoy Unlimited Landowner Elk Permits in a game unit where there is almost no public elk hunting. Because of the unique nature of the habitat, this property has been under consideration by the NM Department of Game and Fish for the re-introduction of Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. Situated between two very large cattle ranches, much of which is State Land and National Grasslands, this incredibly private property offers incomparable hunting and recreational opportunities. A very comfortable, updated 1800-square-foot residence in Springer, NM is included as the prefect staging location and launch point for adventure. Springer is on Interstate 25 just 134 miles from Santa Fe. Acreage is approximately 2,648 deeded, 260 bonus, 560 of state lease. $2,150,000

Cottonwood Springs Ranch – North

Posted on: July 11th, 2020 by

Cottonwood Springs North is a private riverfront ranch with 1054 acres. 2 miles of Pecos River run through a scenic canyon. Rare road into river bottom. The river forms nice pools around giant boulders and is lined with mature cottonwoods. Dramatic side canyons also hold spring-fed pools in their bottoms. Historically this ranch is the southwest corner of the Jose Perea Land Grant which got contested after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago. The grant was held until it could be recognized thus theexplanation for the many stone ruins and long runs of old stacked stone fences on the property. For centuries prior, Native Americans chipped arrowheads on the protected ledges overlooking the river making for great arrowhead hunting. This is beautiful canyon-edge grass-country interspersed w/ Mesquite, Pinon, Juniper, Oak, and Cottonwood accented with rock formations. Fabulous bass fishing and turkey hunting with some deer, quail, and waterfowl. The Pecos River tailwater below Santa Rosa Lake is an excellent warm water fishery. Quality water like this is hard to find especially in Eastern New Mexico. Easy access via Interstate 40, one & 1/2 hours from Santa Fe or Albuquerque, two & 1/2 hours from Amarillo, and 10 minutes from Santa Rosa.

Canadian River Canyon Ranch

Posted on: February 5th, 2019 by Greg Walker

Dramatic Canadian River Ranch with good access and good roads. This is Big Country with spectacular canyon and mountain views from high grasslands. Over 2 miles of deeded river frontage. The northern piece is 1642 acres +/-. The southern piece is 1667 acres +/-. Located only 12 miles from the friendly community of Roy. 581 ACRES WAS ADDED TO THIS OFFERING ON THE SOUTHERN END! PRICE WAS INCREASED PROPORTIONATELY AT $500 PER ACRE.

The country works like an inverted mountain. Grassland mesas give way to ponderosa pine-dotted ridgelines and huge, amazing views. Then there is transition from scrub-oak, pinon/juniper down 600 feet into bottom lands with riparian habitat where cottonwoods and willows grow. ABUNDANT Wildlife including elk, mule deer, turkey, bear, mountain lion, and bobcat. UNLIMITED Land Owner NO DRAW ELK PERMITS in a hunting unit with no public elk hunting!

Broken out of the 14,000 acre Maddox Ranch in 2007, this ranch is currently being improved with new fences and grazing leases have been signed. Investment in the test well located in the center of this property is probably the next good idea. Currently livestock is watered from multiple stock ponds and the river.

A paradise for the explorer, there are numerous stacked stone ruins and long abandoned homesteads. Old cemeteries are scattered in the area, and the southern ranch is near the historic village of Armenta Plaza. State land parcels also adjoin, as well as some BLM.

There are many choice building sites, and electricity comes off the rim down to a cul-de-sac in the center of the property.

Located between Wagon Mound & Roy, Santa Fe is 145 miles away. “The Canadian Gorge is, simply, the biggest & deepest canyon on the American Great Plains” Dan Flores, Caprock Canyon Lands/UT Press. You will not find another sprawling canyon ranch with river frontage and an abundance of wildlife for this price!

Noe Road 90 Acres

Posted on: January 9th, 2017 by

This is a pristine piece of property, rectangular in shape and running from Noe Road to Cook Creek. Beautiful open meadow is accentuated by good stands of Ponderosa Pine, and gently rolling contours expose gorgeous views in all directions.

Many possible building sites present themselves and your horses could graze all the way around you. Fenced and cross fenced, cattle currently graze the land and taxes are low thanks to the ag exemption. There is a well on the property with good associated water rights.

This land adjoins Douglas County’s Spruce Mountain Open Space which is 893 acres plus an additional 458 acres of land in conservation easement. Spruce Mountain is part of an important wildlife corridor, allowing travel between Pike National Forest and Greenland Open Space. The shared boundary between the subject and the open space is actually the creek bottom where beaver dams have created lovely ponds. And while the subject definitely benefits from the open space, nothing about the way the properties adjoin is conducive or encouraging of trespass.

Only 3.5 miles from I25 at the Greenland exit, the location is phenomenal. Basically the tract sits between the communities of Larkspur and Palmer Lake, with easy access from either Perry Park Road (west) or Spruce Mountain Road (east). One could easily commute from Denver or Colorado Springs.
