Property Description
Deep Creek Ranch Discover Deep Creek Ranch, a 106.6-acre haven in Gila National Forest, NM. With rich history, abundant wildlife, and self-sufficient living, it's a paradise for hunters and nature lovers. Enjoy pristine landscapes and private access to the forest. Located near Alma and Silver City, this New Mexico hunting land offers the ultimate retreat in a stunning natural setting. Land Details Situated 6 miles deep within the Gila National Forest in BGU 16a. Featuring a live creek lined with massive sycamore and black walnut trees, the ranch provides miles of habitat for setters to pursue coveys of both Gambel's and Mearns quail. Qualifying for NM Small Ranch E-Plus elk tags, the property has historically drawn a bull elk tag every other year, alternating with a cow elk tag (check regulations). With rich history, abundant wildlife, and self-sufficient living, it's a paradise for hunters and nature lovers. Improvements This beautifully maintained, approximately 1,500 sq. ft. home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms—an ideal size that is neither too large nor too small. The residence is truly turn-key, ready for immediate occupancy, and designed for comfortable living. A charming covered front porch invites you to relax, enjoy the scenic views, and observe local wildlife in tranquility. Deep Creek Ranch is completely off-grid and boasts a remarkable history, having provided year-round residence for over 60 years. The property is sustainably powered by solar energy, with brand new, maintenance-free batteries recently installed, and an additional back-up generator for extra security. Modern conveniences are not forgotten, as the home features phone access, reliable cell service, and internet connectivity, ensuring you stay connected while enjoying a self-sufficient lifestyle. In addition there is a 30x60 metal barn to keep any of your toys and vehicles out of the weather. Recreation Trophy Elk, Gambel's & Mearns Quail, Mule Deer & Coues Whitetails Known to produce world record and best-in-class elk, 16a unit-wide bull elk tags have sold recently as high as $25,000! Both mule deer and Coues Whitetail abound in the area and are OTC for landowners. Historically a cattle ranch for generations, the seller sold his cattle grazing leases years ago to conservation groups so no grazing currently exists in the Gila National Forest area surrounding the ranch, which has benefited the wildlife tremendously. Merriam's turkeys and deer are in the creek bottom and around the house daily. Coveys of quail flow through the headquarters like traffic in Dallas… The creek flows year-round (most years) dropping to but a trickle during the driest of years… Agriculture With the water available from the wells, it's possible to have a garden and orchard to help produce your own sustainable living. Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources The ranch has 3 domestic wells and 3 acre feet of water rights which produce +/- 1M gallons per year. The wells have never been dry.
