Ranch Description
Property Description
If you're looking for big acreage, true high-desert freedom, and direct access to vast public land, this 78 +/- Acre Property delivers the kind of scale, scenery, and opportunity that's becoming increasingly rare in the Southwest. Set in a quiet, wide-open landscape near the Arizona-New Mexico border, this parcel offers privacy, usability, and an unbeatable connection to the outdoors.
The Land
This property features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 7,420 to 7,560 feet. The setting offers four-season enjoyment - cooler summers, crisp fall air, and expansive views that stretch for miles. The land is well-suited for a homesite, ranch setup, recreational retreat, or long-term hold, with ample space to build while still preserving natural surroundings.
A major highlight is the northern boundary bordering over 200,000 Acres of BLM land, giving you virtually endless room to explore right from your property line. This kind of adjacency dramatically expands recreational possibilities while protecting your views and privacy.
Road Access & Infrastructure
Access is straightforward and practical:
• Approximately 0.24 miles of direct road access
• US Highway 60 just 2.3 miles south, providing easy regional travel
• Underground telecom lines in the area
• Power lines located approximately 600 feet south of the property
This balance of accessibility and separation makes the property easy to reach without sacrificing the quiet, remote feel that defines the area.
Outdoor Recreation & Elk Hunting
The property is near the Apache National Forest, providing additional access to Hiking, Camping, Horseback Riding, and Off-Grid Exploration across over 1.8 Million Acres of Publicly Accessible Protected Land.
Located in Arizona Game Management Unit 12, this region is well known for strong populations of pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and elk. Whether you're a hunter, wildlife photographer, or simply enjoy seeing animals move naturally across the landscape, this area offers excellent opportunities.
