Quemado, NM 87829(Cibola County)

Well-watered, there are 86 currently functional and operational wells, most of them either solar or electric. There are hundreds of dirt tanks, catch ponds, seasonal playas, ponds, small lakes, and stock tanks for livestock and wildlife watering. Approximately 2,230+/- miles of fence, including perimeter, and 134+/- pastures have been strategically put into place, allowing for ease of livestock handling and rotational grazing practices. Subject to the size of a cow and bull, livestock management practices, and climate conditions, the ranch will support one of the largest livestock operations in the country. The improvements on the ranch are functional, not overdone; adequate housing is available, and numerous ranch outbuildings are available to accommodate the demands of a robust agriculture and wildlife operation fully. Internal road infrastructure has been developed to provide access to the remotest locations on the ranch.

This area of New Mexico is notorious and renowned for its massive and natural growth of bull elk, mule deer, antelope, and mountain lions, which attract hunters from all over the world. The ranch participates in a lucrative lease arrangement with Black Mountain Outfitters.

There is history here, too, from the Anasazi and Spanish explorers to the early homesteaders and ranchers of today. The ranch has historical and archaeological sites, including Anasazi petroglyphs, ruins, and the tumbled-down stone homes and corrals of New Mexico's earliest homesteaders.

One of the largest single landholdings available in the United States, the Great Western Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-diversified, income-generating, multi-dimensional land asset class, where its value is directly tethered to its rarity and its inability to be replicated. This ranch has been expertly managed by promoting common sense, hard work, science, and ecological capital.
