84/64 Highway 84/64, Tierra Amarilla, NM 87575

Looking for a small hunting ranch in Northern New Mexico? The S and W Ranch is located just south of Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico. Elevation ranges from 7500' to 8,000" Over the decades this property has proven to be very successful hunting ground. Topography of this ranch provides open grassland and native sage which gently rises to juniper, oak and pine covered ridges. Neighboring properties are generally large tracts of 500 - 3,000+ acres. The S and W Ranch has many small canyons, draws and saddles for the Elk and Mule Deer to move about comfortable towards the grass and sage pastures. There are several seasonal dirt holding tanks to catch runoff and opportunity to enhance the natural water sources. Current owners have enrolled the property in the New Mexico E Plus Landowner Elk program and have historically received 2-3 elk permits per season. New owners would of course need to reapply with NMGF. Located within game unit 4 which is private land hunting only. Mule Deer hunts in Unit 4 are awarded through a landowner draw program for Archery, Muzzle Loader and Rifle. Bear and Turkey licenses are available online for private land. Archery hunters are well served with plenty of tree cover and small clearings. Rifle hunters can take full advantage of their long range skills. Electric service is installed on the property although currently not being used. There is a livestock well on site which has not been utilized in many years. There is currently no pump in the well casing although recent testing has determined a well depth of over 1,000' with a static water level at 213'. Additionally, there are two underground storage tanks. Condition and size will need to be determined. Serveral dirt tanks are found on the property which retain water from seasonal rains and runoff. Access to the property is via several private gates on State Hwy 84/64. Recreation is this area of New Mexico has something for everyone! Of course the big game hunting is exceptional. Anglers will find dozens of places to cast a line or load a boat within an hours drive. Hiking, biking, horseback and off road adventures can be had in many of the National Forest areas close by. We get plenty of snow in the winter months which provides for incredible high country snowmobiling, cross country and downhill skiing. Goods, services, motels and restaurants can be found 15 minutes north in Chama, New Mexico. Pagosa Springs, Colorado is a brief 60 minute drive north and Santa Fe, NM is approx. 1.5 hours south.
