Mountain View Elk Ranch spans 453 deeded acres near Maxwell and immediately sets itself apart with its large, resident elk herd that is a constant presence on the property. Located in New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Unit 55B, the ranch qualifies for unlimited landowner elk tags, a rare advantage that allows for flexible, private hunting, with no draw required. Unlimited landowner elk tags are unique to certain units in New Mexico, and there’s nothing else like it in the country. Bordering the Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge, the setting feels expansive and unpressured, with elk, mule deer, waterfowl, and other wildlife moving naturally between the refuge and the ranch. Mornings here begin with elk filtering through the meadows, while the 27-acre lake draws in flights of waterfowl and sandhill crane, creating memorable private wing shooting opportunities. The ranch also carries real agricultural viability, with 188 irrigated acres supported by 183 shares of Vermejo Class-A water rights delivered by an eight-year-old T&L center pivot, providing dependable crop production and wildlife habitat. The combination of irrigated ground and native pasture also lends itself well to cattle grazing and hay production. Multiple income sources - elk and mule deer hunting, waterfowl and sandhill crane hunts, grazing, and crop production, create a steady mix of revenue. The combination of predictable hunting income, irrigated crop production, and grazing provide an income base that can offset holding costs or generate additional return. Mountain View Elk Ranch is well suited for owners who value both recreational use and financial performance. Wide-open views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains stretch to the horizon, adding a dramatic backdrop to the property. Despite its quiet, rural feel, the ranch benefits from easy access to Interstate 25, making it a practical retreat without sacrificing convenience. This is a turnkey New Mexico elk hunting ranch, ready for immediate use, where wildlife, a working farm, and day-to-day enjoyment come together in a way that’s increasingly difficult to find.
Nice 924 +/- sq ft unfinished remodel of two bedroom home with large living and flex room, south facing kitchen with mudroom/utility room. Frame constructed with stucco finish, pitched metal roof. Approximately half of the 7,000 property is fenced. The remainder is partially fenced. Additional 364 +/- sq ft concrete block/stucco workshop. Formerly with a dirt floor would fit one small car. Now with wood floor. Quiet neighborhood, wonderful views. In past two years have a new pavement footpath on north side and currently located a couple of blocks south of the proposed new Maxwell School. Owner took interior of property back to the studs in many places and has sheet rocked much of the rooms with mudroom/utility room and bathroom unfinished. Appliances need to be installed with some on site, including upgraded efficient windows and more flooring. Much to see here for someone with skills to finish the remodel.
