Location and Acreage: 426.634 acres in Lincoln County, between Tinnie and Arabela, New Mexico. The address is 241 Dead Man’s Canyon Rd., which is an excellent all weather private road that can be smoothly traveled in any vehicle, all the way to the front door of the house. There is a beautiful, gated entrance at the intersection of hwy. 368 and Dead Man’s Canyon Rd with an automatic entry keypad / remote, ensuring security to the property. The ranch is 1.3 miles down Dead Man’s Canyon rd., where there is a second automatic entry gate, further enhancing the privacy of the property. Also, the ranch adjoins an additional 120 acres of land-locked state land, increasing the overall room to roam and explore. From the house, it is 45 miles to the conveniences, activities, shopping, and fun of downtown Ruidoso or Roswell, making this a great vacation ranch for the whole family.
Land: The entire ranch is made up of rolling hills with deep canyons and smooth ridgetops. There is good grass coverage as this ranch has not been grazed, and trees consists of pinon pine, cedar, and oaks. The views are amazing from up on top and the numerous creek drainages offer interesting outcroppings and rock formations. There is good vehicular access across much of the ranch on developed roads. The property is approximately 1.5 miles long north to south and .75 miles wide east to west, at its furthest points.
Improvements: The highlight of the property is a 2,185 square foot home that sits almost on top of the highest hill in the entire area, at an elevation of 5,900′. This two bedroom, two bathroom, with two car garage home was built in 2015 with all modern finishes, appliances, and efficiencies. A large portion of the home was just extensively remodeled and added on to, making it much more practical, usable, and comfortable. The 100% stucco exterior and metal roof ensure low maintenance and high durability. Inside, tile countertops, stainless appliances, stone fireplace, tile and carpet flooring, wood accents, and high ceilings offer roomy and comfortable accommodations. Every window in the home offers unobstructed and wide open westerly views of the Capitan mountains, which are only four miles away, as well as Sierra Blanca and Nogal Peak. From both of the bedrooms, you can literally wake up to “in your face” mountain views from the large picture windows. From the large sliding door unit on the east side of the home, the lights of Roswell can be seen at night, almost 50 miles away with nothing in between but rolling hills. Besides the two oversized bedrooms that both have King size beds, there are sleeping accommodations for many others. There is a large loft with living room furniture that includes a queen futon sofa bed. The downstairs living area includes another fold out queen sleeper sofa. And finally, there is another room that is accessed on one side through a hidden doorway within the built in bookshelves and on the other side, through a lockable vault door. It currently contains a large armoire wall unit and a sectional sleeper sofa but could be used as bunkroom, office, man cave, or secure safe room since it is completely constructed of concrete cinder blocks. The entire home is kept comfortable by a central HVAC unit and On Demand tankless hot water heater, and electricity is backed up by a built in home generator. The appliances consist of built in microwave, gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator / freezer, and washer / dryer with utility sink in the laundry room. Outside the home, a second story deck offers a place to relax while taking in mountain top views. For more outdoor living, there are expansive flagstone patios that lead to a firepit and picnic area built on a large concrete slab. The water for the home and ranch comes from a good well that is set up on a solar pump that feeds into two large storage tanks and is then pressurized into the house. This was done intentionally, as was the backup generator, and the propane furnace, water heater, and cooking appliances, so that there would never be a situation, due to weather or man, that the home and its inhabitants would not be completely self sufficient and comfortable. In other words, this is the ultimate hideout. The home is being offered completely turnkey with all appliances and beautiful western / mountain lodge furnishings (excluding art, some decor, and personal items) and has never been lived in, only used for weekends and vacations, so everything is in excellent condition.
Wildlife and Hunting: This ranch is truly a wildlife paradise and outdoorsman’s dream. There are lots of elk and mule deer as well as loads of quail, both Montezuma and Scaled. Barbary sheep, Javelina, Black bear, Mountain Lions, Bobcats, and Coyotes have all been seen on the ranch, as well. As a landowner in Unit 37, the ability to buy “over the counter” tags for Elk, Deer, and Barbary sheep, at a time when draw tags are almost impossible to obtain, is priceless. Not only can the landowner take advantage of this situation but can also give away and or sell as many tags as desired. There are two 600# All Season feeders and a water tank guzzler system in place, which will convey.
Remarks: The 426 acre Arabela Ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico offers the perfect combination of rugged adventure and relaxing comfort.
