The Mundy Buck, holder of four world records, is back with the Mundy Ranch! Legacy Mule Deer never die, they just get larger as the story is passed from generation to generation. Not sure how much larger the widest buck ever entered into the Boone and Crocket (49.5 inches) can get, but the story surrounding this incredible +/-2880 acres ranch (Chama, NM) is certainly one for the record book! If one looks between Canada and Mexico, it would be very difficult to find a more strikingly beautiful, well-watered, big game mecca than the Mundy Ranch & Mountain Estate! This incredible, diverse holding, located about 10 minutes south of Chama and about 2 hours north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, could easily star in its very own historic documentary. The terrain varies from a mild +/-7500 ft. to 9000 ft., with staggered benches of Gambel oak andmassive Ponderosa pine-lined meadows that step up to stands of sub-alpine aspens. If water is the gold, then the Mundy Ranch is Ft Knox, with over a dozen bodies of water and several stocked with year-round aerators supporting rainbows up to 5 pounds. Don't forget that fly rod! There's paved highway and front-gate access, along with exclusive mid-ranch access for the Mundy Ranch owner through the neighboring Ticonderoga ranch. The Buck The Mundy Buck, 300+ inches, holder of four world records, including the widest ever (49.5 inches), longest main frame, largest main frame at 246, and by the water displacement method (Burkett System), number 1 in the world, is back with the ranch as of August 2024! (See attached story.) The seller felt the Mundy Buck belonged with the ranch and is proud to convey the buck with the ownership! There has never been a copy or duplicate made of the Mundy Buck. Hunters Cabin Located mid-ranch, as to allow one to wake up with the animals, is the total off-grid hunters cabin, complete with indoor plumbing, solar system, and back up generator. Serviced by propane and solar, the furnished cabin features a brand new solar system, kitchen, a full bath and an outdoor porch with grill. Providing absolute stealth, located on the edge of a large meadow and several water holes, the Hunters Cabin is perfect for 's'mores camping experience' for generations to come from grandparents to grandkids. Mundy Mountain Estate Miles of ranch roads access the ranch, allowing for incredible hiking, mountain biking, ATV/UTV and snowmobile riding in the winter months. Years ago, originally split off from the Mundy Ranch, the +/- 3000 acres of the adjacent Ticonderoga Ranch was developed into mountain estates, complete with electric gated access and underground power. Parcels were as little as 2 acres up to 35 acres. Three of the these mountain estates were secured by the owner, located about 700 yds. from a private gate accessing midway into the Mundy Ranch, about halfway up the mountain, providing access to the very heartof the ranch, and miles of ranch access roads without interfering with any of the game bedding or feeding areas. Along with the 360 degree views, the recently remodeled +/-4000 sq. ft. Mundy Mountain Estate offers +/-4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 2 car garage, three-sided decks, granite kitchen with stainless appliances and is mostly furnished. Road maintenance, including snow removal and electric gate access, is included in the annual HOA dues of +/- $1700. Located in the prime heart of Big Game Unit 4, documented as one of the highest density elk herds in the country, the Mundy Ranch has experienced very little hunting the last 2 years - only one bull elk harvested as the owner has been too busy to utilize the property. The ranch is absolutely flush with mature bulls and bucks... All hunting rights covey for 2026. In a recent New Mexico Chapter of the Dallas Safari Club Gala, held in Albuquerque, there were 39 world-class trophy mule deer bucks displayed, called theNew Mexico Trophy Wall of Fame. Eleven of those bucks were reported to have come from the Mundy Ranch! The Mundy Ranch has been meticulously managed for trophy big game the last decade, and hardly hunted the last 3 years due to the owners business schedule. 180' to 200' mule deer are seen annually, 300+ bull elk and the ranch manager has reported elk in the 360+ range. The Mundy Ranch has been enrolled into the New Mexico Landowner Incentive Mule Deer tag program. (Normally two late season tags, but always check regs.) Unit 4 has historically reported 100% draw on regular season landowner mule deer tags, noting the application deadline is mid March each year. B&C mule deer are seen on the Mundy ranch annually, with Rio Arriba County, NM documenting more entries in the Boone & Crockett Mule Deer Record Book than any county in North America every decade since 1960! THE RANCH RECEIVED 21 LANDOWNER ELK TAGS FOR LAST YEAR, INCLUDING 15 BULL TAGS. TAGS FOR 2026 WILL CONVEY. The ranch also supports a healthy Merriams turkey population, black bear (all 4 color phases), blue grouse and small game population, with over-the-counter tags. If trophy mule deer or mature bull elk are one of your requirements, this area is sought after as oneof the most desirable areas in the country, carrying one of the highest elk and mule deer densities as there are NO timber wolves (or plans to release them), NO winter kill and NO grizzly bears to affect your landowner big game tag allotment. The ranch has been managed exclusively for trophy mule deer and mature bull elk with habitat improvements such as food plots and feeders. Two brand new Polaris 1500 Ranger Extremes, Northstar Crew Cabs, will convey with the ranch at closing. Fishing With several of the small lakes and ponds on wind and solar aeration, these trout-stocked ponds carry the trout even through the winter. Trout up to 5 pounds are stocked in the ponds allowing for an incredible day with family, friends and VIP guests. Also part of the ranch has full recreational rights to the adjacent +/-3000 acre Ticonderoga Ranch with numerous stocked ponds and the most desirable two miles of Chavez Creek with incredible live-water fishing that easily provides for forty fishing days. With G5 jet-capable airport (Pagosa Springs), there's a hospital, a Walmart and over 30 restaurants an hour away. Wolf Creek Ski Mountain is +/- 90 minutes and Taos is +/- 2 hours. Turn-keyproperties such as the historic Mundy Ranch, with over 10 years of trophy mule deer and mature bull elk management in place, complete with a furnished Mountain Estate, the world-record Mundy Buck, along with two brand-new Polaris Ranger Extreme 1500 Northstars, stand unmatched. There's simply nothing else comparable. Call or email today for more information and your qualified showing, Co brokers welcome.

Welcome to the Rockin N River Ranch, this absolutely one of a kind river front property that boost incredible fishing, with it's 7 engineered ponds and 4000 ft + of the famous Gold Medal Animas River thats has been restored by the Army Core of Engineers to create multiple deep fishing holes. This ranch also offers fantastic water foul hunting (1000's of ducks and geese) and backs to Ute land for complete privacy and also Big Game Hunting. This rare piece of riverfront property is an absolute SPORTS MAN' PARADISE, One of the most unique features of the Rockin N River Ranch is the location, location, and location, being literally 10 min from the town of Durango with easy year round access. This 80 +/- acre ranch consists of both sides of CR 213, and both side are very useable land so if your a (developer, contractor or entrepreneur, ) you may build your dream home high on the mountain with the roads already in and then have views that go forever all over looking the river and ponds or the ranch could be also be sud divided and build several homes (zoned residential and AG with several building envelope already in) some high on the mountain over looking the ponds and the Animas River or build by the river or ponds ( you choose). Two building pads and driveways are already in on top of the mountain with several other building sites that have been identified and are ready to build with power, there are 4 permitted entrances. Seven meticulously engineered and permitted ponds that range from 20 to 8 feet deep and are lined with gravel and built correctly (surface mineral rights and all the water rights will also transfer) this is a big deal as you have all the material you need for roads, foundations and take the gravel right off your property, (saves you tens of thousands of dollars) the ranch is lined with big beautiful Cottonwood trees and all their spectacular fall colors. The ranch also features 4000 +/- ft of the Gold Medal Animas River that has been FULLY restored by the Army Corps of Engineers and they created the best fishing habitat possible with big boulders and deep holes where the huge trout sit and wait for a fly to come floating by. Rainbow's, Brown's and German trout reaching up to a staggering 26 inches are documented! Life time memories for you and your family, friends that they will never forget catching fish like that. Water foul hunter's the 7 large ponds and the river attracts thousands of Ducks and Geese every year and to have that kind of hunting just 10 min from town is simply unheard of, then you have a short drive into town for some lunch at one of Durango's 135 +/- restaurants, no driving 2/4 hours each way to your favorite hunting, fishing spot. Elk and Deer hunters the ranch backs to Ute land where those animals come down the draw to get a drink and with Colorado offering OTC Elk tags that are available for 2nd and 3rd rifle (always check regs.) The Ute Indians are known for their great game management and their land holds Boone and Crockett animals. Imagine you get up early, have a cup of coffee and shoot your limit on Ducks and Geese in the morning, then go catch a monster trout in one of your own 7 private stocked ponds, or you can fish your own fully restored Gold Medal River. That can all be done in one day with out leaving your own private property all just 10 min from town. Truly one of a kind!! It's been said that water is the new gold and I will 100% agree. This ranch holds very rare water rights of 3 CFS for all your irrigation, piscatorial or recreation needs, also even more rare is the property has adjudicated water rights directly from the Animas River. We just don't see that anymore from the Animas. The water rights create an incredible value and there is a huge demand for water rights and we believe the water will have even more value in the future (there's so much water and so important). At the end of the day the hard work has been done and more importantly it was built and engineered and permitted perfectly for the sports man in mind and the ranch is now ready to create your own wildlife sanctuary, build your dream custom home or homes with big views of the La Plata mountains, the river and the 7 ponds or build your own Gold Medal hunting/fishing lodge, (we don't have anything like that in here in Durango, especially with this kind of location). You could also build a RV camp ground or create a resorts with tiny homes along the river and next to the ponds with great fishing. (again all the gravel you would need is already on the property) This type of property with it's prime location and power is in would be extremely hard to replace. A few other ideas is the ranch can be used for weddings (which they have done) family gatherings and BBQ's, or having the best kids birthdays with everyone catching fish. VRBO's is another idea, all on the river, you can choose your own direction or simply keep it all to yourself for a unmatched family legacy with great memories and your own private sports man paradise. The owner has allowed me to hunt and fish the property since I listed it, and we ALWAYS catch fish, ALWAYS, and shot our limit on Ducks, every single time last season!! SO MUCH FUN when that happens...Lastly just one of the owners original idea was to have clients park at the ranch then take them miles up river and then float fish down the gold medal river to the property, remember the river has been fully restore once you get to the property (so be ready) and then take out the boats at the water front gazebo and serve a fantastic lunch and then catch all the fish you want in the ponds. This property could generate significant income with all kinds of business opportunities that it offers. Durango would love to have something like this. There is a BIG beautiful gazebo perched right on the river and a huge built in BBQ grill, and picnic tables. Great fun!! Fishing Water foul hunting Elk and Deer hunting Hiking Canoeing Rafting Swimming Floating the river Water and Surface rights .....Unlimited gravel, moss rock. Durango sits at 6522 ft and makes for mild winters and cooler summers. Really an ideal elevation. Just a short 10 min away from Durango and all its great restaurants, pubs and any type of recreation you can imagine from a collage mountain town.

Yellowstone in New Mexico! This+/-2000 acres of pristine New Mexico high country, located at the top of coveted Rio Arriba County, is approximately 12 miles south of the Colorado border! With 100% draw on private landowner mule deer, monster pronghorns and a dozen rocky mountain landowner elk tags annually, the ranch is complimented by a mile plus of rainbows and brook trout on BOTH sides of the Brazos River Bottoms!Big Game Unit 4 Upon viewing the +/-1989.57 pristine and breathtaking acres bordering both sides of the Brazos River, one could easily conclude that it should belong in a state or national park! Brazos River Crossing has been in the same family ownership in excess of 20+ years and is NOT encumbered by any conservation easements, bordered exclusively by larger private ranch holdings (no public lands adjoining) and zero public access. The elevation is +/-10,000 ft., topping out at Brazos Peak at 11,400 ft. Vegetationis aspen mixed with stands of blue spruce, complimented by native grass meadows. Brazos River Crossing has been solely utilized for private recreation, hosting the same long-term hunting clients for over a decade. There's also an active, long-term tenant that seasonally cattle grazes the property which allows for ag tax status and very low taxes. Ranch access is limited in winter months and would require asnowmobile or tracked vehicles. While the ranch is not representing improvement value, 2 off-grid cabins making up a fully functional hunting camp and are incredible representations of history, one from the 1800's and one from the 1940's. One of the cabins has a new roof and a new floor and is used primarily for storage. Propane gas is driven in. The camp has a solar system and is wired for a back-up generator. Drinking water is hauled in and water from creek pond is pumped into the house. Fly Fishing and Hunting In the past, fly fishing guides that have leased the ranch represented that this stretch of the Brazos River offers some of the finest fly fishing water available. Period! There's an additional +/-1 mile of Farley Creek, an incredible brook/trout fishery, the perfect piece of paradise to soak that elk hair caddis with your favorite 2- weight for a wonderful afternoon delight after filling that morning bull elk tag! The elk breed and birth here, with large herds of resident elk calling the ranch home and the valley literally lit up with bugles starting in mid-August. The ranch has historically received +/-12 annual landowner elk authorizations, 6 mature bull, 3 archery and 3 antlerless (always check regs). Rio Arriba County has been the number one producer of B&C entries for Mule Deer every decade since 1960 and Brazos River Crossing holds some timberline bruisers.... The World Record Mundy Buck was harvested within 10 miles. As long as the landowner applies by mid-March, the mule deer tags have been 100% , as have pronghorn antelope tags. Surprisingly, the Brazos River CrossingRanch has historically harvested a few nice antelope bucks annually, mainly with muzzleloader. The hunting experience on Brazos River Crossing Ranch has been such that in over 10 years, the ranch has never advertised hunts and the return clientele almost 100% . The ranch is being conveyed as is, where is (no mineral survey has been conducted) but all solar, mineral (surface & subsurface), timber and wind rights that are owned will convey. Rare riverfront properties in the west, such as Brazos River Crossing Ranch, are so rare that it's difficult to believe it exists. Options are endless, from legacy family ranch ownership set up in a trust for following generations to the incredible corporate or family retreat. The ranch would be an ideal candidate for Conservation Easement enrollment, an option that is attractive to today's tax conscious investor.
