Property Description

Conveniently located off HWY 180 between Alma and Rancho Grande Estates, this unique +/-110-acre private parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty, infrastructure, and accessibility. Whether used as a private getaway or a hunting outpost between GMU 15, 16A, and 23, the property presents a variety of residential and commercial possibilities.


Hunting & Wildlife

This region of New Mexico is known for some of the best elk hunting in the state. Other big game species regularly found in the area include bighorn sheep, mule deer, Coues deer, turkey, black bear, and mountain lion. Thanks to the presence of the creek, many of these species can be seen on or near the property. Bear, turkey, deer, and mountain lion can be hunted with OTC tags, while elk hunting is available through the draw or with landowner tags. In 2024, the property was enrolled in the E-Plus program and received a 16A archery tag. In 2025, it was awarded a rifle tag—both of which can be used or sold at high value.


Infrastructure

  • 40’ x 45’ barn

  • 16’ x 18’ saddle/tack shed

  • 24’ x 80’ three-sided equipment storage shed

  • 2,200 sq. ft. triple-wide with deck and Arizona room addition (3 bed / 3 bath)


Water

The highlight of the property is the year-round flow of Saliz Creek, which runs for approximately 0.75 miles through the land. This water source supports mature trees and vibrant vegetation in the canyon bottoms. Rare water rights will convey with the property and can be used for domestic needs, livestock, or irrigation. A shallow well on site has historically irrigated an orchard, lawns, a yard, and a small horse pasture.


Vegetation

A rich mix of plant life thrives thanks to the varied elevation (5,760'–6,400') and consistent water from Saliz Creek. Tree species include black walnut, oak, ponderosa pine, piñon pine, alligator and western red juniper, cottonwood, maple, and a few fruit trees. This range of grasses, browse, and trees supports a wide array of birdlife, small mammals, and big game.


Area Access

The property offers highway frontage and convenient access to remote wilderness areas, including the Blue Range Wilderness, the Gila Wilderness, and thousands of acres of Gila National Forest.
