This 915.78-acre ranch, known as 'Canyonlands Ranch', offers a private retreat in Northern New Mexico with views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The property features the Petaca Gorge, a natural canyon with wildlife habitat. Access is available off Highway 285 via an improved all-weather road through a security gate. The land includes pinon, sage, juniper, and cedar vegetation, along with a rugged canyon with seasonal runoff. A cleared and graveled camping spot with mature shade trees and electricity is located near the center of the property. An interior road leads to the Petaca Arroyo, offering canyon views, cliffs, and black basalt rocks. Wildlife such as elk and deer inhabit the area. The property has multiple canyon overlook sites suitable for building a home or cabin. Game trails lead into the arroyo, which contains wildflowers, rock cliffs, and wildlife. The ranch extends north along the arroyo for over 2 miles. The Carson National Forest borders the western boundary of the 640-acre section 13, providing access to public lands. Electricity has been installed within Section 13. The property is located 30 minutes from Ojo Caliente Hot Springs Resort and 40 minutes from Taos. The owners have recently completed approximately 1 mile of a new wire South boundary fence, improved the quality of select interior roads, and installed a locked 'primary 'Canyonlands' security gate. The property is mostly fenced. It is suitable for recreational activities, enjoying nature, raising livestock, or building a retreat.
