Description
Elk Crossing Ranch, located in McKinley County, New Mexico, spans 640 deeded acres of well-designed hunting terrain. The property offers a mix of native meadows, strategically planted rye grass food plots making up 80-100 acres, and Pinion/Juniper bedding areas, providing reliable habitat for elk, mule deer, antelope, and other game species. A solar-powered water well and drinker ensure year-round water availability, supporting consistent wildlife activity. Positioned in Game Management Unit 12, known for producing record-breaking bull elk exceeding 420 points, the ranch has historically received one mature bull tag annually, along with over-the-counter tags for mule deer, Merriam turkeys, black bear, and mountain lion. Its strategic layout and established infrastructure, including fencing and accessible food plots, make it an excellent option for dedicated hunters or land managers. Elk Crossing Ranch is designed for year-round accessibility, with its mild four-season climate and elevation of 6,400 feet. Winter migration brings increased game activity as wildlife moves to lower elevations, enhancing the property's appeal to sportsmen. It also offers flexibility for development, with sites ideal for modular or manufactured homes and sufficient space for travel trailers or fifth-wheel setups. The property maintains agricultural tax status, keeping annual operating costs minimal while enhancing wildlife sustainability. With its exceptional location, established improvements, and consistent game activity, Elk Crossing Ranch presents an excellent investment opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a hunting property or a long-term asset in New Mexico's premier hunting region.
