luxury farmhouses with panoramic view for sale Durango, United States

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.
