Catron County - 25 Choate Dr., Pie Town, NM
The expansive and diverse 19,139 +/- acre Sawtooth Basin Ranch is nestled in the scenic and remote landscape of Pie Town, New Mexico and has spectacular geographical features rising from New Mexico's rolling pinyon/juniper floor to its majestic sawtooth-figured peaks and valleys. With breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, and rich history, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a legendary premier elk hunting ranch, providing the tranquility of wide-open spaces in Catron County, New Mexico. Catron County is well known to produce record-sized elk and is in the heart of some of the best trophy elk hunting in the United States. Trophy mule deer reaching record book size have also been harvested on this property. Pronghorn Antelope frequent the ranch and have grown record-sized horns.Total acreage is comprised of 16,833 +/- deeded acres, 1,960 +/- acres of State Trust Land Lease, and 346 +/- acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lease. The central and east portion of the ranch is within Game Management Unit (GMU) 13, consisting of approximately 13,914 +/- deeded acres, while the west portion is within GMU 12, consisting of approximately 2,919+/- deeded acres. Both big game units are known to produce some of the largest free-range antlered bull elk anywhere!The Ranch is currently signed up in the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish's Landowner Private Land Elk Program (EPLUS). In 2024 the property received 16 Mature Bull (MB) Elk Landowner Authorizations, 13 Archery Either Sex (ES) Elk Landowner Authorizations and 11 Antlerless Landowner Authorizations. Private land Mule Deer and Pronghorn hunting licenses are unlimited over the counter, allowing for the landowner to determine how many Deer and Pronghorn hunters to allow to meet management goals.Management practices and habitat improvements have enhanced the health and carrying capacity of the property to increase elk numbers and the elk use on the property. Mule deer, pronghorn, black bear and other wildlife species have benefitted from the conservation work that has been done for elk. In 2023, only three elk licenses were validated, and in 2024, only four elk licenses were validated with a harvest success rate of 100% for both years. The age class of elk bulls on the ranch has increased due to the very low number of elk authorizations used over the last two years. Forest management consisted of thinning and mastication of overgrown pinyon and juniper trees on approximately 500 acres where treatment was conducted in a mosaic pattern to reduce woody vegetation. Two large hydraulic axe machines were used to grind and masticate trees, stimulating new forb, brush and grass growth in the treated area. By reducing the canopy cover, increasing water availability and sunlight, new forbs, browse and grasses have responded by growing in these areas. Elk, mule deer and pronghorn use on the new growth was immediate and favorable to them.In 2024, the Sawtooth Basin Ranch was awarded on incentive mule deer license for all the habitat improvement contributions that was valid during the mule deer rut timeframe, aside from the regular structured hunt seasons by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.The largest set of elk sheds known to be found on the ranch had an unofficial gross score of 424 inches.In addition to being a spectacular hunting ranch, the property would sustain a full-scale livestock operation if so desired. Water is distributed throughout the ranch and native grasses are abundant across the property. A new eight +/- mile underground waterline and 8 new water drinkers have been installed to disperse permanent water across the ranch expanding this valuable resource to needed areas. The water storage tanks at the commercial well have a capacity to hold 24,000+/- gallons of water with an additional 10,000+/--gallon water storage tank placed on the south side of the ranch.There are five water wells on the ranch, one of which is a rare commercial well permitted for 25-acre feet of diversion annually. This is significantly higher than the amount of diversion permitted by most domestic wells, which is 3 acres annually. This commercial well sets this ranch apart from others in the area, providing much-needed water.The ranch boasts evidence of prehistoric Native American existence on the property can be found throughout. Pottery shards, arrowheads and grinding stones have and can be found on the property.Housing on the ranch consists of a 3,400+/- sq/ft main house, a 600+/- sq/ft cabin, a 900+/- sq/ft mountain cabin and a 1,232+/- sq/ft manufactured foreman's house.

Catron County - 95 Cliff Thorn Rd, Quemado, NM
Cienega Amarilla Ranch is 400 acres in western New Mexico, defined by rare yearround water: the Cienega Amarilla runs the length of the property, shaded by mature trees and forming a natural wildlife corridor. A comfortable, solarpowered ranch house and corrals anchor the headquarters. In GMU 12 and currently receiving a landowner elk tag through EPLUS, this is a secluded, capable gentleman's ranch.
Land
Cienega Amarilla Ranch offers 400-acres with a blend of riparian bottomland and upland high desert. The Cienega Amarilla flows year-round through the entire length of the property, lined with mature cottonwoods and willows that create rare, lush habitat in this part of New Mexico. Native grasses flourish along the cienega and provide excellent forage for light livestock or big game use. Beyond the creek, the land rises into pion-juniper hillsides with scattered open benches, sandstone bluffs, and expansive views across the valley.
Historically used for cattle ranching, the property remains well suited for use as a gentleman's ranchcapable of supporting a few head of cattle or horses while maintaining its strong wildlife habitat. The combination of perennial water, healthy cover, and forage makes the ranch a natural draw for elk, deer, and other game throughout the year.
Improvements
The ranch headquarters centers on a comfortable, rustic home set just west of the Cienega Amarilla. Interior features include a large living area with a wood-burning stove, log-accent walls, and a covered porch that captures sunset views as the cliffs above the cienega light up. Electricity is provided by a solar array with battery storage and inverter. There is no well; domestic water is pulled directly from the Cienega Amarilla via on-site pumping. Propane service supports heating and appliances.
The yard around the home includes fruit trees, shade trees, and raised garden beds, along with stone and paver patios that frame the headquarters area. A dedicated storage and utility room supports extended off-grid use.
Outbuildings include a shop/garage with ample storage and workspace, plus additional ranch structures for tools and supplies. Adjacent to the headquarters is a functional set of corrals and small livestock pens. The ranch is fully fenced except where sheer cliffs create natural borders. Internal ranch roads and two-track trails provide 44 and UTV access along the creek corridor.
Recreation
Cienega Amarilla Ranch lies within New Mexico Game Management Unit 12, known for healthy populations of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn, along with black bear and mountain lion. The year-round water and riparian corridor of the Cienega Amarilla create dependable habitat that consistently attracts wildlife.
The ranch is currently enrolled in the EPLUS program as part of a larger cooperative of ranches, which provides a landowner elk authorization. With the features of this ranch, including the habitat created by the year-round cienega, future owners may have the opportunity to apply for habitat improvement incentive tags, thereby increasing the total number of tags*. Hunting for other species, including deer, pronghorn, and bear, is available to landowners through over-the-counter tags, giving owners a wide spectrum of hunting opportunities on the property.
Beyond hunting, the ranch's secluded setting offers quiet privacy for horseback riding, hiking, and exploring the sandstone bluffs and historic settlement remnants. Nearby public lands and national forests across western New Mexico and eastern Arizona expand the scope for additional recreation.
*Always check the latest regulations with NMDGF.
Agriculture
Cienega Amarilla Ranch was historically a cattle ranch, supported by the perennial water of the Cienega Amarilla and the grass it produces along its corridor. While the property's 400 acres are not suited to large-scale operations, it offers strong potential as a gentleman's ranchideal for running a small herd of cattle or a few horses. The cienega provides consistent forage and water, a rare advantage in this part of New Mexico.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
The defining resource of the ranch is the Cienega Amarillaa perennial, spring-fed wetland that runs the full 400-acre length of the property. Cinegas are unique to the Southwest: permanently saturated wetlands in an otherwise arid landscape. Once common across the region, many have been lost to overgrazing and groundwater diversion, making this intact cinega especially rare.
These wetlands are sustained by groundwater discharge and patterns of winter precipitation, creating organic-rich soils and supporting a mosaic of vegetation. Along the Cienega Amarilla, sedges and rushes thrive in the saturated soils, while willows and cottonwoods line the corridor and provide shade and shelter. This continuous green ribbon stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding high desert.
Region & Climate
Set in Catron County near the Arizona line at roughly 6,800 feet, the ranch sits in New Mexico's high-desert plateau. Summers are hot, with daytime highs commonly in the 90s, often followed by late-summer monsoon storms. Spring and fall are cooler transition seasons. Winters are cold with periodic snow. Annual precipitation is light, and the area is known for abundant clear, sunny days.
Location
The ranch is accessed by county-maintained roads, offering a secluded setting near the New MexicoArizona line. While Quemado is the nearest New Mexico community, the most practical full-service base is St.Johns, Arizona, less than an hour to the west. Springerville and Eagar are also within easy reach for supplies and services, with Show Low serving as the closest larger hub.

This expansive property spans over 4,480 acres, comprised of 3,200 deed acres, & 1,280 acres of state grazing lease, offering serious hunters a unique opportunity to own a ranch renowned for its trophy game and rich history. Located between the quiet towns of Quemado and Pie Town, this property has only been offered once before, making it a truly rare find.
X Spear Elk & Cattle Ranch is situated in Game Unit 12, an area celebrated for its world-class hunting opportunities. For 2024, the ranch received 3 rifle, 1 archery, and 2 cow tags. The land is ideal for those in pursuit of trophy elk, antelope, and mule deer. The ranch's rolling terrain, dotted with native grasses, pion, and juniper, provides excellent cover and habitat for wildlife. With 5 reliable wells ensuring water access throughout the year, the ranch supports a thriving game population, making it a hunter's dream come true.
Beyond hunting, X Spear Elk & Cattle Ranch is a working cattle ranch, capable of supporting around 60 pairs. This operation not only keeps the land productive but also maintains its agricultural tax status. The ranch includes a state grazing lease that adds valuable acreage for cattle management, especially during hunting seasons when game needs to be carefully managed.
The ranch's headquarters features a large 40x80 barndominum that comes equipped with power and water, and is ready to be built out. Located away from the prime hunting areas, the HQ offers a perfect spot to relax after a long day in the field. Whether you're planning to use it as a base for a mobile camp, a motorhome, or build it out as a barndominium, the infrastructure is ready to support your vision. Access to the ranch is easy year-round via an all-weather county road, ensuring you can reach your private retreat in any season.
Nearby, the towns of Quemado and Pie Town provide a glimpse of authentic New Mexico life. Quemado offers essential services such as fuel, groceries, and dining, making it a practical stop for ranch owners. Pie Town, famous for its delicious homemade pies and annual festival, brings a touch of local charm and community spirit.
For those needing to travel, the ranch is conveniently located near several airports. Springerville Municipal Airport, just an hour away in Arizona, is perfect for private aircraft and quick getaways. Grants-Milan Municipal Airport, approximately 90 minutes away, offers additional options for regional travel. If you need to connect with major cities, Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is about 2 hours and 30 minutes away, providing broader access while keeping the ranch's secluded feel.
With a history of producing record-breaking elk and nearly perfect success rates for antelope and mule deer hunts, X Spear Elk & Cattle Ranch stands out as an exceptional investment for hunters and land enthusiasts.
