Canon Bonita Ranch
Property Description
THIS PROPERTY IS SOLD AND IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY. Canon Bonita Ranch is an unparalleled and exceptional property rarely available on the market. Sprawling across 5,580± deeded acres of prime hunting land, this ranch is located in Mora County, New Mexico. An additional 880± acres of New Mexico State Land lease and 153± acres of landlocked BLM land bring the total to 6,613± expansive acres. Additionally, the property features a well-maintained 2 bed/1 bath home nestled in a scenic canyon and offers stunning views and complete privacy. The Canon Bonita Ranch combines open meadows, deep canyons, thick vegetation, and Ponderosa Pines to provide a diverse habitat for wildlife. The property is well-watered with a solar well, multiple windmills, natural springs, and seasonal dirt tanks, ensuring that wildlife can access water year-round. For over 25 years, the previous owners had dedicated themselves to wildlife management and habitat restoration, working with organizations such as NRCS, Fish and Wildlife, RMEF, and NWTF. The previous owners worked with a wildlife biologist in 2016 to do a 5-year study on Mule Deer movement and habitat usage (some Mule Deer still carry the tracking collars). [NOTE: All wildlife on the property are free range, and the only fencing is for cattle].
The property's Big Game sanctuaries, feeding areas, and year-round water sources produce exceptional trophy Mule Deer and Elk and support other game species like Bear, Mountain Lion, Turkey, and various small game. Hunters found the Canon Bonita Ranch a dream come true. The property was located in Game Management Unit 47 and offered private land, Over-the-Counter (OTC) Mule Deer licenses, private land OTC Elk licenses (obtained through a specific ranch code), OTC Bear licenses (with quota), OTC Mountain Lion licenses (with quota), and OTC Turkey licenses.
Canon Bonita Ranch is located near Wagon Mound, a village near a scenic Butte. Springer is just North of the village, a small town where you can get your essentials. The ranch was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a sprawling hunting property with a rich history of wildlife management and habitat restoration, ready for its next stewards to continue its legacy of preserving and enhancing the natural habitat, wildlife, and ecosystem.
