Land Description
Kit Canyon Ranch
Kit Canyon Ranch lies between Grants and Gallop, New Mexico, just south of I-40. Located in New Mexico Big Game Unit 10, it offers the recreational sportsman Trophy Elk, Mule Deer, Black Bear, Mountain Lion and Merriam Turkey Hunting. The very best feature is that it has locked gate access to the +/- 90,000 acre Cibola National Forest to hunt, 4-wheel and Atv, with Foster Canyon 4-wheel track going right out your back gate, but only publicly accessed from many miles away.
A recreational paradise, the neighbors have drilled a successful water well, so water is not far away, and it would make for a great off-grid cabin site. The nearby forest has a natural springs and creek bottom that service as a wildlife corridor. The best indicator of excellent habitat is the numerous native pottery shards and cave history that is located on the property for the historical enthusiast. While Kit Canyon Ranch may qualify for landowner elk and deer tags, the current owner does not hunt, so tags for elk would need to be applied for 2021. Some landowner deer tags may be available for 2020 check regulations.
With rural land sales going through the roof, and great access from Albuquerque 2 hrs and Phoenix 4.5 hours, great properties with I 40 access are difficult to find. Call or email today for more information and to schedule your qualified showing. Co brokers welcome.
