Cibola County - Elk Haven Rd, Ramah, NM
The Wapiti Haven Ranch is a truly special place offering spectacular trophy elk hunting opportunities in a memorizing timbered mountain environment. Nestled within the stunning Zuni Mountains of Game Management Unit (GMU) 10, the ranch is comprised of 5,120+/- deeded acres of some of the most pristine mountain wildlife habitat New Mexico has to offer. Management practices have improved the habitat quality of the property to increase elk numbers and the amount of trophy bull elk utilizing the property. Mule Deer, Merriam Turkey, Black Bear, Cougar, and other wildlife species have also benefited from the conservation work that has been done for elk. Numerous habitat improvements include the installation of approximately five miles of pipeline used to supply water to new permanent drinkers dispersed throughout the ranch, where water was scarce. Managing this property for elk has been the primary focus while encouraging harvest of older age class bulls. Historically, the Zuni Mountains have produced bulls scoring over 400 inches and mule deer reaching the 200-inch mark. The Ranch is currently signed up with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Private Land Elk Program (EPLUS) and received Elk Authorizations. Tree stands and an elevated Redneck blind are strategically placed at water sourcesThe elevation ranges from approximately 7,400 feet to over 8,400 feet, and the area contains stunning forests of a combination of Ponderosa Pine, Pinyon, Juniper, Gambel's Oak, and Mountain Mahogany woodlands. Two wells, one seasonal creek, two springs, nine+/dirt ponds, and five 300-gallon water drinker tubs are located on the ranch. The expanded water developments provide water to elk and other wildlife on all portions of the ranch.The ranch boasts a stunning 2000+/- sq. ft three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with an elevated loft offering the comfort and seclusion for your mountain home. Not far from the main house is a 1400+/- sq. ft three-bedroom, two-bathroom modular house that can be used for your guests or ranch foreman. As a bonus feature, the property has a rare hidden cave cavern that is accessed through a small opening and opens up into a larger cavern, having geological crystal formations throughout. The cave leads underground for approximately 200 feet and provides a private caving experience that can't be found anywhere else. From the top of the highest ridge, breathtaking panoramic views of valleys below and distant red sandstone bluffs captivate the beauty of the area. The property offers an electrical power line that traverses across the Ranch, offering opportunities to utilize electricity in numerous locations across the property.The area is rich with historic Native American Puebloan occupancy and near the path Spanish conquistadors traveled in search of a medieval myth of golden cities to be found at a place called Cibola. Native American artifacts have been found on the southern portion of the Ranch. Nearby outdoor opportunities are endless. The adjacent Cibola National Forest, El Morro National Monument, El Malpais National Monument and Bluewater Lake State Park lands offer everything from hiking, hunting, biking, horseback riding areas, Off-Highway Vehicle riding opportunities, fishing, camping and much more.This spectacular, turnkey-ready property offers a rare opportunity to own a special elk hunting ranch in New Mexico!

The property sits at an elevation of 7,3007,500 feet and consists of gently rolling hills, shallow canyons, and open meadows. Soils vary across the property, with sandy and loamy textures supporting a mix of pion-juniper woodlands, ponderosa pines, and native grasslands.
The largest portion of the ranch is strategically positioned between two significant tracts of public landBLM borders the west, while Navajo Trust Land borders the eastproviding expanded access for recreation and hunting. A seasonal dirt tank on the property serves as a vital water source for wildlife and livestock, enhancing the habitat for elk, deer, and other game.
*Seller financing is available, contact listing agents for terms.
Improvements
Bear Valley Ranch includes multiple structures, and essential infrastructure to support various land uses. While there are multiple homes present on the property, they are in poor condition and do not contribute to the overall value of the land.
Two wells provide reliable water access, supporting both residential and agricultural potential. Electricity is available at multiple points throughout the ranch, offering flexibility for future development. A seasonal dirt tank serves as an additional water source for wildlife and livestock, enhancing the property's natural appeal for hunting and ranching.
The ranch also features traditional Navajo Hogans and a sweat lodge, reflecting the area's deep cultural heritage.
With road frontage on Candy Kitchen Road and Bear Valley Road, along with its existing water and power infrastructure, Bear Valley Ranch is well-positioned for future improvements to suit a range of uses, from hunting and recreation to residential or business development.
Recreation
Bear Valley Ranch is located in GMU 12, which is renowned for its elk herd and mild terrain. With its dirt tank, grazing, and strategic location between multiple year-round water sources, Bear Valley Ranch has a strong elk presence. By registering the ranch through the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish's Elk Private Land Usage System (ePLUS), the landowner may be able to obtain elk hunting tags as a Small Contributing Ranch.**
Lower densities of deer, turkey, antelope, and predators are also in the area, and provide OTC hunting opportunities for the ranch owner who registers the ranch through NMDGF. Simple improvements such as the addition of food plots, feeders, and additional dirt tanks or drinkers could increase the huntability of an already impressively populated ranch!
Fishing is available in many locations throughout the local area, as are hiking and mountain biking.

History
Pie Town, New Mexico, has a unique and rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. It was established in the 1920s as a small community primarily populated by homesteaders who were attracted to the region's vast open landscapes and opportunities for farming and ranching. The town's name is famously linked to its pie-making traditions. In the 1920s, a local woman named Minnie and others began selling homemade pies to travelers and the growing population. This culinary focus helped define the town's identity, and it became known as a destination for delicious pie, leading to the charming name Pie Town. During the Great Depression, Pie Town served as a home to many families who moved westward in search of better opportunities. The town gained further recognition in the 1930s when it was featured in various national publications, highlighting its unique character and resilience. In the following decades, Pie Town remained a small, tight-knit community, with a focus on agriculture and a simple rural lifestyle. The town also became a stop along Route 66, further adding to its appeal and commerce. Today, Pie Town is known for its friendly atmosphere, pie shops, and annual events like the Pie Town Pie Festival. The town's history is celebrated by its residents who cherish the traditions that have shaped their community over the years.

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 surfaceexactly 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
