Recreation
Hunting
Elk Ridge Ranch lies in Game Management Unit 12, long known for dependable elk, mule deer, antelope, black bear, and mountain lion opportunities. The current owner participates in New Mexico's private-land elk program as a Small Contributing Ranch, entering the landowner draw each year for a Mature Bull, Either-Sex Archery, or Antlerless authorization. Additional draw entries may be possible through water and habitat improvements (contact agent for details).
Unit 12 also offers over-the-counter private-land tags for mule deer and other tags are available for antelope, bear, and lion, giving hunters flexibility throughout the year. The ranch's mix of open forage, bedding cover, and protected canyon bottoms provides ideal habitat for game movement and holding capacity.
Fishing
Quemado Lake is only 45 minutes away and offers trout and tiger muskie fishing along with improved campsites. Bluewater Lake, roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes from the ranch, provides additional fishing opportunities and day-use amenities.
Horseback Riding
With miles of ranch roads, open benches, and direct access to thousands of acres of nearby public lands, the ranch is well suited for horseback riding. Riders can explore both gentle meadows and more technical routes along the canyon rims.
Hiking & 4-Wheeling
The property's varied terrain--ranging from rolling pine ridges to steep rock formations--creates excellent hiking routes. ATV and UTV riders will appreciate the combination of improved roads and open public land access that extends travel well beyond the ranch boundaries.
Native American & Paleontology History
The ranch is just South of two of North America's oldest Native American pueblos; the Acoma and Zuni. Surface pottery fragments are found across portions of the ranch, reflecting early Native habitation from the Anasazi culture. The Anasazi culture preceded the current Acoma and Zuni inhabitants by thousands of years.
Museum trained paleontologists have leased prospecting on the ranch for dinosaur fossils in the ranch's badland exposures. This area may contain possible Late Cretaceous fossils associated with the Moreno Hill Formation. It is possible some exposures may have very rare dinosaur vertebrates remains of Suskityrannus and Zuniceratops.
Agriculture
Native grasses support seasonal cattle use, with grama and galleta dominating the more level portions of the ranch. The existing stock ponds and well (pending pump installation) make it practical to continue light rotational grazing while also enhancing wildlife value.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
One livestock well is present on the property and requires installation of solar pump infrastructure. Three dirt tanks provide additional water for livestock and wildlife.
No mineral rights are known to transfer; buyer should verify.
General Operations
The ranch has been used primarily for hunting, light grazing, and recreational use. Its year-round access and proximity to public land create additional possibilities for outfitting, personal hunting management, or long-term land stewardship projects that could strengthen future wildlife allocations.
Region & Climate

The area's name comes from a nearby seasonal lake that was once surrounded by a wire fence to contain livestock, a nod to the region's ranching heritage. Fence Lake developed as a ranching and farming settlement, serving as a home for homesteaders and families drawn by open land and the promise of agricultural opportunity. Though the population has always remained small, the community has maintained its rural character and continues to reflect the traditions of ranching, farming, and close-knit country living that shaped its early days.

Cibola County - NSN Highway 36, Fence Lake, NM
Positioned just east of Elk Ridge, this 256-acre ranch offers classic New Mexico mesa country with sweeping views, strong wildlife presence, and remarkable hematite deposits. Accessible by Highway 36 with a recorded easement, the property provides seclusion, buildable terrain, and year-round recreational potential.
Land
The 256 acres feature a blend of open grass flats, pion-juniper ridges, shallow canyons, and elevated mesas with expansive views over the surrounding high desert. The landscape is a mix of sandy loam and rocky outcrops, creating excellent bedding and transition habitat for wildlife.
Multiple natural benches and high points offer strong glassing vantage points and would serve as excellent future build sites. Rimrock shelves and scattered sandstone outcrops add character, while the lower basins provide more open country suitable for riding, hiking, or camping. The elevation sits around 6300-7300ft, giving the property four usable seasons without the deep winter conditions found farther north.
Native vegetation includes pion and juniper, sage, mountain mahogany, and pockets of grama and galleta grass. The overall feel is similar to Elk Ridge--wide open, easy to navigate, and naturally scenic.
Access to the ranch is via Highway 36 followed by a recorded easement across private land, providing reliable year-round ingress.
Improvements
Improvements include a 15' x 15' jeep barn/carport suitable for vehicle or UTV storage, plus two premium 6' x 8' storage sheds built on treated 24 framing with 5/8 floors. The portable sheds and a covered structure suitable for equipment or vehicle storage. These modest improvements provide immediate utility for gear, tools, or supplies while leaving the majority of the ranch's landscape undeveloped for a buyer's future vision.
No other structural improvements are currently on-site, leaving the ranch a blank slate.
Recreation
This ranch borders the same wildlife corridor as Elk Ridge and benefits from the region's strong game populations. This ranch is location in GMU 12.. The ranch offers unlimited over-the-counter tags for mule deer, and tags available for black bear, and mountain lion, offering flexible big game hunting opportunities throughout the season.
There are three rifle sight in shooting ranges from 100 -375 yards.
The terrain offers excellent glassing from the mesa tops, easy travel across open benches, and natural funnels where game routinely pass through. Hunters familiar with this part of Cibola County know the long-term consistency of elk presence, particularly during the fall rut and late-season movements.
In addition to big game hunting, the ranch is ideal for hiking, horseback riding, ATV exploration, and camping. Large skies, red-rock edges, and distant mountain vistas make the property extremely photogenic.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
Although the property does not have developed water sources, natural drainages cut through portions of the ranch and help sustain wildlife throughout the year.
Hematite Mineral Specimens
A standout feature of this ranch is the significant surface distribution of hematite, the mineral form of iron oxide. Hematite appears across the property in multiple forms:
Botryoidal hematite, exhibiting rounded bubble formations
Massive hematite nodules weighing several pounds to several hundred pounds.
Metallic black, red, and deep brown specimens
Iron-rich rock layers weathering out of slopes and ridges
Geologic Origin
In this region of New Mexico, hematite commonly forms from ancient volcanic and hydrothermal activity. Iron-rich fluids circulated through fractured rock, cooling and precipitating hematite in cavities and seams. Over millions of years, erosion exposed these deposits at the surface--exactly what is visible throughout this ranch.
Value & Potential
While large-scale commercial iron mining is not realistic here, specimen hematite has recognized value in the mineral collecting market. Botryoidal and banded hematite commonly sell for:
$10$200+ per piece, depending on size, form, and quality
Higher prices for well-formed botryoidal clusters
Additional interest among lapidary artists for cutting and polishing
The quantity and quality of material on the property present a unique opportunity for hobby collectors, small-scale specimen sales, or simply appreciating a rare natural resource seldom found in such abundance on private land.
Region & Climate
This part of western New Mexico is known for its mild four-season high-desert climate. Summers are warm but rarely oppressive, nights cool quickly, and winters are generally dry with light snow. The monsoon season brings welcome summer moisture, supporting healthy grasses and browse.
Fence Lake and the surrounding area are quiet, rural, and lightly populated, offering exceptional privacy and dark night skies.
Location
The ranch is located near Fence Lake, NM, with access from Highway 36 via a recorded easement on private ranch roads. The region is easily reached from Grants, Gallup, and Quemado, with Albuquerque approximately two hours to the east.
Despite its seclusion, the ranch can be accessed year-round, and the landscape lends itself well to future development of a hunting camp, cabin site, or off-grid residence.

Trophy elk hunting with six landowner bull elk tags
Mule deer, turkey, & bear with over the counter tags
Cabin, shop, & backcountry hunting cabin
One hour from Grants & two hours from Albuquerque
Veteran elk hunters know that one of the best-kept secrets in the West is the Zuni Mountains of western New Mexico. With a variety of habitats, abundant water sources, and a mild climate, the Zuni Mountains grow elk like Iowa grows corn. These mountains are veritable elk magnets, and in the heart of this secret elk Valhalla lies Lookout Mountain Ranch: over 3,000 acres of prime elk habitat that is simply the best of the best.
Dominating the northern portion of Lookout Mountain Ranch is 9,112-foot Lookout Mountain, one of the highest points in this mountain range. The views drop off well over 1,000 feet in every direction, making the term "breathtaking" an understatement. Lookout Peak reigns supreme over gentler terrain to the south, a blend of ponderosa pine forest, aspen glades, and grassy meadows. Together, these features have allowed Lookout Mountain Ranch to support more elk than most ranches ten times its size. Developed water sources are abundant, and more than a mile of Bluewater Creek flows through the southeast corner of the property.
Trophy elk are the primary attraction at Lookout Mountain Ranch, but healthy populations of mule deer, black bear, and turkey can also be hunted. The ranch receives six bull elk tags annually, and tags for the other species can be obtained over the counter. With years of careful big game management, Lookout Mountain Ranch is now top tier in all the elements that elk, and elk hunters, love.
Hunters have found that the improvements on Lookout Mountain Ranch more than meet their needs. An excellent road system has been developed throughout the property, allowing vehicle and ATV access that helps avoid arduous pack-outs. A very comfortable off-grid cabin and shop sit at the headquarters in "Dinner Park," which is aptly named, given that elk frequent it nearly every evening to feed. In September, you can count on falling asleep to a symphony of elk bugles. In addition, a backcountry cabin with million-dollar views on Lookout Peak is ready for overnight or multi-day stays.
Lookout Mountain Ranch is about a two-hour drive west of Albuquerque and its airport, and about an hour west of Grants. Bluewater Lake State Park is a short drive to the north and features boating, famous tiger muskie fishing, and camping. Zuni Pueblo sits to the west and offers fascinating insight into Zuni culture and archaeology, including the Village of the Great Kivas.
If there is a greater concentration of prime elk habitat anywhere in New Mexico than at Lookout Mountain Ranch, we don't know where it might be. The elk certainly seem to agree, and their votes count because they are here by the hundreds. Lookout Mountain Ranch has proven its quality over the years and now awaits a new steward to carry it into its next chapter of legendary big game history.
