Nestled in the foothills of the Sacramento Mountains between Sierra Blanca and Capitan lies a hunting ranch of mythic proportionsa place where the spirit of the Old West is still very much alive. Alamo Canyon Hunting Ranch encompasses 2,064± pristine acres, a vast, untamed high desert ranch that elk, mule deer, Aoudad, lion, bear, turkey, quail, fox, and coyotes call home amongst the canyons and craggy ridges. This is a land that calls to the adventurer, the hunter, the one who seeks both solitude and the thrill of the chase. Alamo Canyon is not merely a ranch; its a testament to the enduring frontier spirit. The ranch is secluded, far removed from the clamor of modern life. It is a place where time seems to stand still, where the land and the wildlife are as they were when the first pioneers ventured westward. A Wilderness Untamed The ranch is a mosaic of diverse terrains, from rolling hills blanketed in native grasses to rugged canyons carved by ancient waters. The landscape is dotted with junipers and pion pines, their twisted trunks bearing witness to the relentless forces of nature. Vast expanses of open land provide breathtaking views of the Sacramento Mountains, their jagged peaks standing sentinel over the ranch. Wildlife roam freely across these acres, their presence a reminder of the wild abundance that once defined the American West. For the hunter, there is no greater challenge than tracking a majestic bull elk through the dense brush or spotting a wily trophy mule deer amid the rocky outcroppings. The Barbary sheep, with their sweeping horns and agile grace, offer a pursuit that is both demanding and exhilarating. But the game on Alamo Canyon does not stop there. Black bears prowl the shadows of the ridges, their powerful forms a humbling sight for those fortunate enough to catch a glimpse. Mountain lions, the elusive ghosts of the high desert, stalk silently through the juniper forests. Foxes and coyotes add to the symphony of the night, their cries echoing across the canyons. Wild turkeys strut through the sagebrush, their feathers glistening in the morning sun, while quail flit and scatter at the slightest sound. Water: The Lifeblood of the Ranch Water is the true treasure of the high desert, and at Alamo Canyon, it has been harnessed with both ingenuity and respect for the land. Two wells tap into the hidden aquifers deep beneath the earth, one reaching down Approximately 150 feet, drawing forth the cool, clear water that sustains life on the ranch. This precious resource is stored in two tanks, one holding 6,000 gallons and the other 2,500 gallons, perched high on the ridges, a mile and a half from the wells themselves. Once these tanks are filled, the water flows back down through an intricate network of gravity-fed lines, reaching eight tire drinkers, each with a capacity of 700 to 750 gallons. These drinkers, strategically placed throughout the ranch, provide essential hydration for the diverse wildlife that call this place home. In addition to the tire drinkers, there are smaller bird drinkers scattered across the property, ensuring that even the smallest of the ranchs inhabitants have access to water. Three 2,000-pound feeders stand sentinel over the ranch, surrounded by sturdy corrals, ready to sustain the game during the leaner months. Four smaller 200-pound feeders and two spinner feeders add to the bounty, distributing nourishment across the land. The feeders and drinkers are more than just conveniences; they are a testament to the stewardship that the ranch embodies, a commitment to maintaining the delicate balance between man and nature. A Landscape Etched by Hand and Time Over 36,000 feet of inch-and-a-quarter poly pipe snake across the property, a lifeline connecting the scattered drinkers and feeders to the central tanks. It is a feat of engineering that speaks to the dedication of those who have worked this land, carving out a sustainable habitat in a harsh and unforgiving environment. But the ranchs infrastructure does not end with water. More than 20 miles of trails wind through the property, carved into the rugged terrain with care and precision. These trails are a gateway to the ranchs many hidden corners, leading hunters to the perfect blind, or explorers to a secluded vista where the vastness of the desert stretches out before them. Six deer blinds, each designed for two-person occupancy, are strategically placed throughout the ranch. These blinds offer unparalleled views of the surrounding terrain, providing both concealment and comfort for those who seek the thrill of the hunt. From these perches, hunters can watch as the sun rises over the Sacramento Mountains, casting long shadows across the land, or wait patiently as dusk settles, when the wildlife stirs from the brush. A Legacy of Water and Stone Water is not only brought to the land by modern means; it springs naturally from the earth as well. A rock tank, fed by a reliable spring, has been a source of life on the ranch for generations. In the last five years, it has only run dry oncea testament to its dependability. Nearby, a man-made dirt tank adds to the ranchs water resources, capable of being filled from the same lines that feed the main storage tanks. These tanks are more than just water sources; they are oases in the desert, places where life gathers, drawn by the promise of sustenance. The Soul of the Ranch Alamo Canyon is more than just a place; it is an experience, a step back into a time when the West was still wild, and mans relationship with the land was defined by respect and resilience. It is a place where the modern and the ancient coexist, where the call of a coyote breaks the quiet of the night. To own a piece of Alamo Canyon is to own a piece of the West itselfa land where legends are made, and the spirit of adventure is ever present. It is a place where the hunter can test his skill against some of the most challenging game in North America, where the naturalist can revel in the beauty and diversity of the high desert, and where the rancher can find solace in the stewardship of a truly remarkable property. The Lodge The current owners of the ranch embarked on the construction of a magnificent steel lodge that assures minimal annual maintenance and provides all the luxuries desired for a home and entertainment showplace. The entrance to the headquarters area alone provides the owner/visitor a clear testament to the pride of ownership exhibited on the entire property. The pre-engineered steel framing of the lodge encompasses a living quarters consisting of approximately 4,000 square feet. The living area includes 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, a large full kitchen/dining area, a full-service laundry room, and a large game room. There is an additional 2,400 heated square feet of entertainment and equipment storage area that includes a large walk-in gun safe work area and tool storage area for performing maintenance needs of the equipment used on the ranch. Rounding out the lodge are portals for enjoying the serene sounds of wildlife, along with a full outdoor kitchen and entertainment area that can be enclosed for any type of inclement weather, including high winds. The lodge really is a tremendous structural improvement, complimenting the ranch and its many uses.

These towns include medical services, educational services, shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. The ranch itself is accessed via county-maintained caliche and gravel Alamo Canyon Road.

Nestled in the hills above the Rio Ruidoso and Rio Bonito, the Hurd Wild West Ranch offers a rare chance to own land shaped by history, beauty, and legacy. Originally part of the renowned Sentinel Ranch, founded by famed Southwestern artist Peter Hurd and his wife Henriette Wyeth, this 1,625± acre parcel reflects the same rugged landscapes that inspired their work. With ties to Lincoln County’s Wild West past and a timeless artistic heritage, this is more than land—it’s a story waiting to be continued. Southwestern artist Peter Hurd was born in Roswell, NM in 1904. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and apprenticing under N.C. Wyeth, he married Wyeth’s daughter, Henriette, in 1929. They returned to southern New Mexico, purchasing 40 acres in San Patricio. Over time, they expanded the property to more than 2,000 acres, calling it Sentinel Ranch. Inspired by the terrain of hilly plains and arroyos of the Hondo Valley, Peter’s work often depicted the landscapes and people of the region—highlighting the rich rural life he cherished. He traded paintings for services and embedded himself in the local community. The setting allowed both Peter and Henriette to build a family and legacy rooted in the land and their art. Peter passed in 1984. Today, their youngest son, Michael Hurd, oversees the family ranch, Sentinel Ranch, part of which lies north of U.S. 70 and is the subject property offered for sale.

Two mule deer tags have historically been issued to the ranch annually and bear and turkey tags available over the counter. To state that Wapiti Ranch is well-situated as a big-game operation would be an understatement. Careful stewardship has maintained wildlife habitat of the highest quality, so in addition to elk, mule deer, black bears, mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, and turkeys thrive here. Decades of satisfied hunters have taken large animals on this land, and the ranch comes with a client list and well-experienced guides and staff, ready to carry on the proud tradition of Wapiti Ranch. On some ranches, hunting supplements a cattle operation; at Wapiti Ranch, the situation is reversed. The ranch has historically supported roughly 100 head, including 5 bulls for breeding. All improvements necessary for maintaining the ranching operation are included. Ranch headquarters consists of a well-maintained, fully furnished ranch house with four bedrooms, two baths, and a stone fireplace. The original 1920 homestead still stands as well, lending a nod to its rich ranching heritage. Several other outbuildings and cattle-handling equipment round out the functional facilities available at the headquarters. Ruidoso, one of southern New Mexico's prime tourist destinations, lies about 45 minutes away via county roads and U.S. Highway 70. Ruidoso is a popular resort offering fishing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a mountain coaster. Restaurants are abundant, and the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts hosts live performances year-round. For those inclined to try their luck, the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Ruidoso Downs Racetrack will happily accept your wagers. The nearest regional airport is in Roswell, about 45 minutes to the east. Roswell has a hospital, full services, and its famous UFO Museum. Some hunting operations must be built from the ground up, and others are available on a silver platter. Wapiti Ranch is solidly in the second category. If a world-class big-game business is in your sights, take serious aim at Wapiti Ranch, a proven turnkey operation just waiting for you to take the reins.
