Here's a small hunting ranch in Northern New Mexico? The Woodall Ranch is located just south of Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico. This family owned property sits at 7600' in elevation and over the decades has proven to be successful hunting ground. Topography of this ranch provides open grassland which gently rises to tree covered ridges. Neighboring properties are generally large tracts of 500 - 3,000+ acres. The current owners have enrolled the property in the E Plus Landowner Elk program and have historically received 1-2 elk permits per season. New owners would of course need to reapply with NMGF. Located within game unit 4 which is mostly all private land hunting only. Mule Deer hunts in Unit 4 are awarded through a landowner draw program for Archery, Muzzle Loader and Rifle. Bear and Turkey licenses are available online for private land. Electric service is installed on the property although currently not being used. There is a livestock well on site which has not been utilized in many years. Further testing in the near future will determine the productivity of the system. Additionally there are several underground water storage tanks. Access to the property is via a private gate on State Hwy 84/64 and the property corners have recently been flagged by a surveyor. Recreation is this area of New Mexico has something for everyone! Of course the big game hunting is exceptional. Anglers will find dozens of places to cast a line or load a boat within an hours drive. Hiking, biking, horseback and off road adventures can be had in many of the National Forest areas close by.

This is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of historic northern New Mexico, in historic Tierra Amarilla. This two story traditional style adobe home with tin roof was built in 1881 and is known as the Garcia House. Graced with fruit trees and lilacs in the yard, it has portals along the front and back of the house. The house has been added onto and is L-shaped, with the downstairs renovated by the owners and a previous owner. There is a full second story which would provide a lot of extra living space if renovated (it was originally five separate rooms). The original interior adobe walls and wood floors are still in most of the house. Some of the recent renovations include new windows on the back of the house and wood replaced on the back portal; new Rheem tankless hot water heater; new heating unit in one bedroom; new roof on the back addition; and work on the electrical system. There is a wooden building in the back yard that could be a storage shed or a small studio or workshop. The property is zoned both commercial and residential.
