The ranch is currently entered into the Game and Fish EPLUS system and has a history of receiving between 2 and 4 Elk Authorizations per year. Deer and Antelope tags are normally available without having to draw, via the internet in order to use on the ranch. There is a permitted 4.5 acre ft pond that is 15 ft deep and holds water year round, which acts like a magnet for wildlife. A seasonal stream runs the entire length of the ranch, and has irrigation ditches. There are multiple established Alfalfa fields, as well as grass and the balance is normally planted in Wheat. The ranch is an old Homestead with a couple of old log cabins. The President of the United States in 1923 (Warren G. Harding) signed the original Land Plat giving the property "Forever Water Rights" for Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing or other purposes, and rights to ditches and reservoirs in connection with such water rights. The ranch has a history of occupation since at least the early 1800's, long before New Mexico became a state. The area has not been adjudicated, and all document will be provided if the buyer wishes to declare with the State Engineers Office, including Affidavits, one from a descendant of the 1800's Homesteaders. The neighboring 80 acers belongs to a family member, and is available for negotiation. That parcel has a 1932 Land Plat signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It has two old Dugouts and an old horse drawn double snow sled still on the property. The Ranch is completely fenced. The Ranch is located 7 miles west of Hwy 285 on a Government maintained gravel road. The San Antonio River is approximately 1/2 mile away and is normally stocked with Trout by Game and Fish.
