Also included is the adjacent 1280 acre state grazing lease, totaling + - 3,560 total acres, which provides the property with the incomparable value of being home to world class elk, antelope, and mule deer hunting. This is all while enjoying income as working cattle operation (+- 60 pair average), keeping taxes in agricultural status! Value: This true legacy building ranch is priced to sell at the incomparable $775 per deeded acre, (state grazing lease included). This positions Cat Hill Trophy Hunting & Cattle Ranch to be positioned as one of the market's best values, comparable to several New Mexico ranches now closing over the $2000 per unimproved acre threshold. Very accessible, but hidden 4 miles north of HWY 60, between Quemado & Pie Town NM. This area is well-known as a proven & documented producer of monster elk. With mild altitude, ease of trail access throughout the ranch, gentle rolling hills of native grass meadows, blended pinion/ juniper and excellent water disbursement â a superior game habitat would be difficult to find. With a mild 4 season climate allowing for no winter kill, no timber wolves and no grizzlies, most ranch owners report receiving as much enjoyment managing the elk, deer and antelope as they do in hunting!

Power is accessible in the ranch, and access is via an all-weather county road. Tags & Hunting: With Unit 12 recently producing the New Mexico State Record bull elk, and over 90,000 more applicants for NM Big Game Drawing tags in 2021, properties like Cat Hill Ranch, located in trophy producing units, are so highly coveted that it seems they are becoming more and more scarce on a daily basis. A proven producer in 2021, with bulls being taken opening day of archery season, and 4 antelope being harvested averaging 78-80, one would be hard pressed to find a better value trophy hunting ranch today with Land Owner Tags. The ranch has traditionally received 4 mature bull elk tags, 1-2 cow elk tags, and one either sex archery tag. Harvest has averaged close to 100%. Antelope & Mule Deer tags are unlimited for land owner, but suggested harvest is 3-4 pronghorn and 1-2 mule deer annually. Coyote calling can be incredible! Land: Referencing attached maps, the state grazing land borders the deeded ranch on the exterior, allowing the land owner to push cattle into that allotment hunting season, successfully managing more game into the interior sanctuary of the ranch. The far north side of Cat Hill borders an additional 2-3 sections of BLM land for additional recreation. In todayâs environment, where securing a family legacy through land investments is more important than ever before, the prestigious and historied Cat Hill Trophy Hunting & Cattle Ranch at $775 per deeded acre wonât be available for long
