"What dreams are made of!" is the best description for the +/- 2451 Acres. With the old narrow-gauge railroad bed, now a ranch road, entering the canyon from HWY 64/84 offering the best road access into any of the tracts. The ranch is a mild 7400-8800 feet in elevation and is comprised of gentle sloping hills framing expansive native grass valleys. Majestic ponderosas, large stands of oak and hidden pockets of spring fed aspens with pinĚon and juniper ridges surround the native grass meadows and numerous springs, ponds and lakes of Broken Butt Ranch. What some call the Elk Sanctuary- with numerous valleys and ft hills, hidden ponds, and ponderosa rimmed ridges, gaining gentle altitude, all the way back to the east boundary, bordering the 17,000- acre Quinlan Ranch. Several wonderful building sites. 10 bull tags, 5 ES archery tags, 7 cow tags, and historically land owner mule deer tags have been unlimited- check regulations. The Broken Butt Ranch is located in a primary elk and Mule Deer migration route Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, bordering the Colorado State line, is most noted for producing more Boone & Crockett Mule Deer than any county in existence every decade since 1960. Historically in the past, Landowner mule deer tags in game unit 4 have been unlimited. However, always check regulations. Additionally, Bear, lion and small game hunting are over- the-counter. Note from the seller**- Last season, this area was where probably 70% of our bulls were taken and most of the mule deer. Although game was found all over the ranch, for whatever reason, the flat top hill that runs between the old cabin (Tract 2) and the flat top mesa on Tract4 was the mecca of activity. The pond I have circled in the picture is now referred to as 8 Bear Pond. This area holds the vast majority of black bears on the ranch as well. It is not uncommon to see 6-8 different bears in one evening on that pond during archery season. Whenever Kyle or his dad would guide for us, their number one area to go hunt wasTract 3. Gentle terrain with stunning cliffs and mesas. There are many diverse forests of juniper, spruce, ponderosa pines, aspen, oaks and fields of natural grasslands. While currently not enrolled into a conservation easement of any kind, the Broken Butt has been approached by numerous parties as an ideal candidate, as these easements have some incredible benefits for both the land and the wildlife, and substantial tax benefits for the landowner. 50% minerals convey. The most attractive value of Broken Butt Ranch is the beauty of Colorado with New Mexico's land prices, tremendous game quality and the most liberal big game tags. With Colorado in 2021 receiving over 60,000 additional big game tag applications than the previous year, quality land investments in desirable locations receiving a dividend of land owner trophy mule deer and elk tags are becoming a very desired commodity indeed! Majestic Northern New Mexico weather with beautiful, dry heat summers and typically moderate winters making it possible to enjoy this ranch year round. The ranch is in immaculate condition and kept in ag status allowing for low taxes. There is an extensive two-track road system throughout, and one's most difficult decision would be where to pick their building site for the most incredible views of the continental divide and the South San Juan Mountains.
