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
