The ranch is currently entered into the Game and Fish EPLUS system and has a history of receiving between 2 and 4 Elk Authorizations per year. Deer and Antelope tags available using the ranch number. There is a permitted 4.5 acre ft pond that is 15 ft deep and holds water year round, which attracts wildlife. A stream runs strong for much of the year, and crosses the entire length of the ranch, and has irrigation ditches. There are multiple established Alfalfa fields, as well as grass and the balance is normally planted in Wheat. The ranch is an old Homestead with a couple of old log cabins. The President of the United States (Warren G. Harding) signed the original Land Plat in 1923 giving the property "Forever Water Rights" both vested and accrued for Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing or other purposes, and rights to ditches and reservoirs in connection with such water rights. BLM certified and stamped the Land Plat as being a copy of the original. The ranch has a history of occupation since at least the early 1800's, long before New Mexico became a state. The ditches are being used to irrigate multiple fields. The area has not been adjudicated, and all documents will be provided if the buyer wishes to declare with the State Engineers Office, including Affidavits from descendants of the original Settlers which state that the ditches and rock dam have been used since the early 1800's. The Ranch is completely fenced with 5,6 and 7 strand wire. The Ranch is located 7 miles west of Hwy 285 on a Government maintained gravel road. The San Antonio River is approximately 1/2 mile away and is normally stocked with Trout by Game and Fish. All farm equipment is available for negotiation, including a Four Wheel drive Komatsu WB140 extend-a-hoe Backhoe, 4 wheel drive 140hp tractor, a 69 horse power tractor, Swather, Baler, rakes, disc and blades, mowers, 40 ft Gooseneck trailer, dump truck, and lots more. I also have a small herd of Registered Long Haired Scottish Highland Cattle and a large gooseneck stock trailer that is negotiable. This is a rare opportunity to own your own piece of heaven. This home can be used as full time single family living, vacation, or as a Hunting Lodge. The sunroom is large and can be used as additional sleeping area, and there is another room in the shop with an unfinished bathroom. Whether you love to hunt or just enjoy nature, or if you want to try your hand at farming/ranching, this place has it all.
