Highway 96 & 112 Highway , Wilderness 257

Description

Located in the heart of  Rio Arriba County’s Unit 6A, with Over-the-Counter Mule Deer Tags and qualifying for enrollment in the E-Plus Landowner Elk Program, these quality hunting acreages are smaller and almost impossible to find. These parcels are affordable with paved access, rural water and power.  Just +/-90 minutes to Albuquerque International Airport, 20 minutes to Cuba, NM with some of the best food around and 3 minutes to the Regina Mercantile Store, the +/-257 surveyed acres of the Wilderness 257 may not last long.  The game-filled Regina valley, bordered by the thousands of acres of the Gallina Wilderness on one side and the almost million acres of the Jicarilla Apache Reservations on the other side, harbor one of the densest deer and elk populations in existence. Approximately 90 minutes to the north is the Quality Waters of the San Juan, one of the best trophy trout fishing experiences in the western United States, not to mention great water fowling as well. With big game tags nationwide becoming more and more difficult to draw, is it time for you to invest in a beautiful, high-quality landholding while it’s still affordable, and have that freezer filled every year? With a timely close, the seller will convey 1 private land bull elk tag and 1 cow elk tag for the 2026 season. More than half the fun is taking advantage of New Mexico’s landowner tag program by managing one's own land with water enhancements and food plots, while increasing one’s property values. Be it RV, travel-trailer, cabin or residential home, there are so many choices for picking the most ideal, beautiful and hidden site from the world on the Wilderness 257. Gorgeous rock formations, hand-hewn homestead log cabins, ponderosa pines, native grass meadows, sage fingers and pinion/juniper hammocks are interspersed with Gambels oak, making great bedding areas. And, there are a couple ponds that hold water for the game!  With the stock market going through the roof and gold in the $5000 an ounce range, perhaps diversifying into a solid land investment that pays incredible recreational dividends is worth a look!
