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.

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.

Big Game Hunting-Along the Eastern Arizona state line in Western New Mexico is the renowned and prestigious Unit 15. Among the Gila National Forest, Unit 15 is a primitive weapon only hunting unit, that keeps its trophy quality at its forefront. Game Management Unit 15 is one of the premiere elk hunting units in North America today. GMU 15 has a variety of terrain and habitat. Elevations range from approximately 6,000 8,000 feet. GMU 15 offers the hunter a wide range of hunting areas ranging from very difficult steep, rocky canyons to rolling cedar-covered hills to wide open prairies with an abundance of elk herds scattered throughout the unit with great trophy potential, making it an elk hunters paradise.
Fishing- The 800-acre Quemado Lake Recreation Area is located approximately 20 miles south of Quemado. The recreation area includes the 131-acre manmade trout lake with two ADA fishing piers, two boat ramps, seven developed campgrounds, one primitive campground, and links to more than seven miles of hiking trails. The lake is nestled between pion-juniper woodlands and pine forests at an elevation of 7860 feet. Quemado is stocked all with rainbow trout in fall, winter and spring months. The lake offers year-round trout fishing and warm water fishing for channel catfish and smallmouth bass during the summer months. Other lakes in the Gila National Forest are Snow Lake and Lake Roberts.
Agriculture
The area is abundant in vegetation and using cattle grazing to help maintain a healthy ecosystem outside of the hunting season would be a great opportunity,also to minimize taxes on the property.

Catron County - 165 Reid Road, Datil, NM
Sojourn Valley Ranch offers 604 deeded acres plus a 640-acre State Land lease with a custom three-story home and multiple outbuildings. Located in GMU 15 with landowner elk, deer, and antelope tags, the ranch sits just 2 miles north of the Gila National Forest. With five wells, strong infrastructure, and exceptional hunting, it is a rare opportunity in one of New Mexico's most desirable areas.
Land
Sojourn Valley Ranch consists of 604 deeded acres split by Reid Road. The north side includes 100 acres with a custom home, shop, and Quonset, while the remaining 504 acres lie directly south in open pasture with corrals and RV hookups. A 640-acre State Land lease adjoins the western boundary of the southern parcel, expanding grazing and wildlife habitat. Elevations run from 7,400 to 8,000 feet, with gently rolling prairie broken by draws, seasonal arroyos and thick stands of trees. Vegetation ranges from blue grama and Arizona fescue grasslands to pion-juniper, ponderosa, and scattered alligator juniper. Views are framed by prominent peaks on all sides, including Mangas Mountain to the southwest, Alegres Mountain to the east, Escondido Mountain to the west, and the Datil Mountains to the northeast, giving the ranch a dramatic mountain backdrop.
Improvements
At the heart of Sojourn Valley Ranch is a custom two-story home with a basement, built in 2009 using SIP construction with stucco and a pitched metal roof. The 4,800 finished square feet on the main and upper levels feature wraparound Trex and wood decks, exposed wood beams, a fireplace, LP heaters, and a Rinnai on-demand hot water system. The home includes new appliances, updated bathrooms, and is offered with many furnishings. The basement adds another 2,400 square feet of unfinished area with a separate outside entrance.
Other improvements include a 4060 insulated metal shop with power, water, plumbing, and solar panels, plus an open Quonset with utilities. On the north parcel, a dirt and sand open arena (approx. 250350) provides equestrian functionality. On the south parcel, corrals and chutes support livestock handling, along with two RV hookups for added flexibility. The property benefits from five wells, supplemented by numerous dirt tanks and tire drinkers distributing water across the ranch.
In addition to the existing headquarters, the north parcel also includes a separate entrance and an established homesite with separate septic and meter east of the main home and outbuildings, offering room for future residences, expansion of the current homesite structures, or even subdivision of the parcel. The ranch is fully perimeter fenced with four- and five-strand barbed wire and includes interior cross fencing for efficient livestock management.
Agriculture
Sojourn Valley Ranch is well suited for livestock operations, with gently rolling prairie and mixed grass forage dominated by blue grama and Arizona fescue. The current owner runs a small herd of cattle, horses, and llamas on the property. The grazing lease is rated at 9 head.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
Sojourn Valley Ranch is located within New Mexico OSE District 1, a designated artesian basin. The property is served by five registered wells that provide reliable water for both domestic and livestock use. A solar-powered 5,000-gallon storage tank supplies the main home and headquarters, while the broader ranch is serviced directly by the wells and tire drinkers. Additional dirt tanks capture seasonal runoff, enhancing reliability for both livestock and wildlife. This extensive water infrastructure is a key strength in a region where dependable supply can be limited. All mineral rights, if any are owned, will convey to the new owner.
Region & Climate
The ranch's proximity to surrounding peaks brings greater precipitation than properties farther north, supporting healthy native grasses and reliable forage. Summers are warm with cool evenings, while winters bring crisp days and periodic snow that helps recharge water and sustain vegetation. The region also lies within a designated Dark Sky area, offering exceptionally clear night skies for stargazing.

A Special History
If you follow the Outlaw Trail that goes west and north from Silver City, New Mexico, youll pass through Alma Mesa. But the history of this area starts well before members of the Wild Bunch worked here. Pre-Colombian history is evident in the pit houses in the area that was home to the Mogollon Indians for centuries. Fast forward, this part of Arizona and New Mexico was settled after the Civil War, when English and Scottish investors established large cattle ranches on the open range. Those investors included Harold Wilson and Montague Stevens (later author of the western classic Meet Mr. Grizzly). Their names are the basis for the WS in the WS Ranch. The WS spread was vast, from eastern Arizona (where naturalist Aldo Leopold would later serve as a forest ranger) to the foothills of the Mogollon Range. According to Captain William French, manager of the WS Ranch and author of Some Recollections of a Western Ranchman, frontier hardly described the area. The Apache, consigned to the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona, periodically made forays through the area en route to the Mogollons, which were the birthplace of Geronimo. Tombstones in area cemeteries describe tragic deaths from ambushes, shootouts and illness. WS ranch hands during this time included Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid of the Wild Bunch. Their stay on the ranch apparently ended when tipped off by a local that Pinkerton agents were swarming Alma after bank notes began surfacing there that had allegedly been stolen in a train robbery in Montana.
After the WS Ranch moved its cattle operation to northeastern New Mexico, others arrived. One arrival was Hugh McKeen, whose descendants remain prominent citizens in the San Francisco (formerly Keller) Valley. Mr. McKeen and his children carved out another vast ranch in much the same area as the WS Ranch. When the Forest Service set up grazing allotments on public lands, one such allotment was the Alma Mesa Allotment, which straddles the Arizona and New Mexico state line and is the sole entry to a large swath of Arizona east of the Blue River. Whats evident on the allotment is the thoughtful work that the McKeens put into working with the landscape to enhance the country and its productive capacity for livestock, which also benefitted the abundant wildlife. Fences were built with the landscape as a guide. Stock tanks were placed to catch water from simply gushing down canyons. Pipeline systems were installed in areas with grass but a long walk to water.
As the decades passed, many of the improvements on Alma Mesa went into disrepair.That has changed. Fences have been re-built and new fences have been built. The west side, for example, now has a perimeter fence. New Mexico South and Beaver Trap have a new perimeter fence. Maple Charlie Moore Pasture has been fenced into two parts to allow better livestock managementsouth of the primitive boundary (still Maple Charlie Moore Pasture) and north of that primitive boundary (Six Shooter Pasture). There is a water lot where Alma Mesa Pasture, Six Shooter and West Trap meet. There are now new traps for breeding at Antelope and Cradle Basin.
Water projects have been a primary focus for development, which benefit livestock as well as wildlife.There are now pipelines from Beaver Canyon to Charlie Moore Mesa, to Sunflower Mesa, to the southeast corner of Maple Charlie Moore Pasture and up Beaver Canyon half-way to Buzzard Tank. There are now pipelines from Keller Canyon to Cradle Mesa Trap and Cradle Mesa. There is an extensive, largely buried water network that begins at Stateline Camp and runs to West Trap, New Mexico South Pasture, New Mexico North Pasture, South Stateline Trap, North Stateline Trap and to Alma Mesa. Stock tanks have been cleaned and re-built. Cattle, bear, elk, deer, turkey, lion. You and the hunters who come to the area will now see them or their tracks outside of riparian areas as a result of this work.
Previously, there was no living or working facility on the private land associated with Alma Mesa. That has also changed. There is now a three-bedroom home to live in. There are new state-of-the-art facilities for working cattle at Keller Canyon Headquarters. Included is a new, two-bay shop with a bunkhouse, a paneled ranch office, a set of covered processing facilities with a hydraulic squeeze chute and palpation cage, a Temple-Grandin inspired processing tub and working pens, a certified set of scales, a hay barn, a saddle shed and a well house. There are two solar systems, each with maintenance-free batteries, a back-up propane generator and over 10,000 gallons of water storage from two wells.
Alma Mesa. History. A passion for the country, cattle and wildlife.

The Canning Ranch is 393 acres (with a 2,600 acre BLM lease) of easy access Elk and Antelope hunting terrain in New Mexico that also provides quality cattle grazing opportunities. The mild terrain with Gramma Grass and Pinon Junipers, with several water sources attracts the Elk and Antelope. Antelope tags are Over-The-Counter (OTC), and Elk tags are issued to the property through the E-plus system. Elk hunting gets better during the rut which runs into October, and a unique attribute of property are the rifle seasons that occur in early and mid October.
The deeded acres and BLM lease is set up to graze cattle with good water capacity and infrastructure. Approximately cattle capacity is 53 head, which graze on the Gramma Grass and utilize the multiple water sources. There is fencing, a large barn, covered hay storage, and a container for tack and feed. A main well fills the 4,500 gallon storage tank, which then feeds 3 drinkers and 2 dirt tanks.
The property is private and secluded with access off Hwy 60 and Hutton Ranch Road which is maintained year-round. Pie Town, NM is a small community nearby, and the larger town of Springerville, AZ is about an hour away with a hospital, airport, supplies and restaurants.

HUNTING
Several quality water sources coupled with mild terrain, and good gramma grass turf, makes it a great attraction for Elk and Antelope in August-October. Elk hunting is best primarily during the rut since the good water sources keeps cows around which then attracts the bulls. There is year-round Elk usage on the property, but hunting Elk in early October with a rifle is a big perk in Unit 12. The property's mild terrain and lack of topography, with light Pinon Juniper cover, also makes hunting enjoyable for youth, and hunters with limited mobility. The ranch is currently enrolled in E-plus in conjunction with another ranch owned by the same owner.
Elk: In 2023 the combined two ranches enrolled in the E-plus program were allocated several bull tags and several cow tags. One cow tag and one bull tag were used on the Canning Ranch. For the 2024 season, the two ranches remain enrolled together. Future owner will have to apply independently moving forward.
Archery season: September 1-14, and September 15-24
Rifle season: October 5-9 (rut hunt), October 12-16, October 19-23, and November 9-13
Antlerless hunts: November 16-20, 23-27 and November 30-December 4
Antelope: Tags can be purchased Over-The-Counter (OTC). This area can produce great bucks from 78"-85"+

Any legal weapon: August 24-26 & October 5-7
